When I woke up this morning if someone said The Spanish Inquisition I would have thought of the Monty Python sketch and not much more. Now you’ve connected it in my brain to — let’s call it a nexus — through your article which was clearly not aimed at any nexus, and frankly denies that any such nexus could actually exist.

I’m joking here. I think. This latest note was fire and reminds me why I am a paid member. God bless you DC.

It’s usually hard to hate the accountant down the hall, which makes me think of Darryl’s argument about localism.

I live in a place where most people swing left politically, and I’ve heard a few people say that they met a Trump supporter who was really nice. “I liked her!” There’s confusion and vulnerability in allowing the reality of other people to challenge your fantasies. That’s why I appreciate it when Darryl says, “Sorry to disappoint you.”
