Tonight, instead of writing the essay on The Merchant of Venice that should have been done yesterday, I went to a meeting at Columbia called "How Did Bush Win (And What Do We Do Now?)" It was hosted by the International Socialist Organization.
There were some good points made, and anyone interested in exploring the question should visit The Socialist Worker for some insights. In this election, the ISO endorsed Ralph Nader for President. They believe that the urgent problems facing the U.S. could not be solved by what they see as the corrupt, decadent Democratic Party and its "Bush Lite" platform. I'm not so sure, and therefore am frankly relieved to be done with an election in which I was ambivalent about both leftist candidates.
Some sadder news: Frank Rich's column will not appear in tomorrow's Arts & Leisure section. Just when we need him most, the so-called "Ann Coulter of the Left" takes a little vacation.
Jeers to that.
