CULTURAL DECLINE: June 29, 2018 Robert De Niro, the actor, aimed the f-bomb at President Donald Trump in remarks to a large audience at the Tony Awards. Following an appreciative applause, he repeated it and got a standing ovation. Samantha Bee, the television comedian, used the even more vulgar c-word to describe the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump. WELL, THEY’RE only words, some...
The G-men and their emojis

FBI: April 20, 2018 Once upon a time in a previous century, I was invited to watch a widely banned movie, “I Am Curious (Yellow),” in company with a number of FBI agents and officials to see just how naughty it was. I had written about censorship and whether the movie was over the line of decency. The U.S. Supreme Court would...
Free speech in the time of rant and rage

FREE SPEECH: April 13, 2018 Polarities are the spice in a dish of politics in search of a recipe. Sometimes the dish becomes a fallen souffle, and once a souffle falls, no hostess can serve it with pride. The celebrated chefs of Washington’s political cuisine are having to deal with fallen souffles cooked to recipes that worked once but now...

DIVISIVE POLITICS: March 30, 2018 So much turmoil. So much chaos. So much cynicism in Washington, D.C., and everywhere else. “Divide” is the name of the game. Everyone is in fighting mode. The most dramatic (and ludicrous) image of the week was President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden boasting how they could punch...
Stormy weather over the White House

SEXUAL MORES: March 23, 2018 It’s difficult to have a reasonable conversation about sexual mores in the Age of Trump. We could start with the “Access Hollywood” tape, made in 2005 when Donald Trump was the star of a different kind of reality show than the one he is now. His vulgar boasts about how to seduce women did not prevent...
Twitter, truthiness and titillation
Suzanne Fields 03/16/2018 - 11:01am
TRUTH: March 16, 2018 When talking politics, online or in person, you don’t often hear anything about the “magnificent middle.” You hear epithets like the “dirtbag left” or the “wicked alt-right,” and all of the ugly, free associations with references to commies and fascists, loonies and wackos. Moderation...
