While this entire column by Michael Gerson is worth reading,
I absolutely had to post a link to it just to slip in the following two quotes:
“Watching Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) debate science with Fauci
during committee hearings is like watching Albert Einstein being disputed by
his dry cleaner.”
And in conclusion: “Fauci is practicing epidemiology. His critics are practicing idiocy. Both are very good at their chosen work.”

Morris “B.B” Dickerson was an original member of the
legendary funk/rock/soul band War, serving as vocalist (perhaps most notably on
“The World Is A Ghetto”) and bassist.
Despite their accomplishments, War is STILL not a member of
the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Get with it, people!

There’s been a lot in the news recently about the
voting-suppression laws passed in Georgia and proposed in numerous other
states. Barry Svrluga provided an incisive column in the Post concerning MLB’s
decision to move this year’s All-Star Game out of Atlanta.
