about the presidential candidates and a final, wacky exclamation - “Whoopee!”
Who is Walter Day and how did he land this column? Did he win it in a lottery? Was he chosen at random from the county tax rolls? Was he granted the space in an affirmative action program? Is there an editor in the house?
Day’s sense of humor may be right for these disjointed times, so I suggest a stay of execution pending evidence of renewed effort and even the slightest coherence. Failing that, it’s time to give another columnist a try. Whoopee!
