Dream

In a perfect world...

"A major world leader--the aggressively nationalistic spoiled scion of a famous political family, who has thrown his own ruling party into disarray and whose approval ratings have dipped below 30 percent amid accusations of corruption and after presiding over a cabinet full of embarrassingly incompetent hacks--has finally decided to resign today."

Too bad it's the prime minister of Japan.

What do you know? TNR isn’t entirely staffed by stealth-conservative nitwits. To think I quit paying attention to them years ago.

Yeah. I don't know whether the change was gradual or sudden, but I stumbled across some interesting articles or so ago, bit the bullet and subscribed to the online version, and was pleasantly surprised. It's a mixed bag, but for the most part I'd say TNR drifting steadily back to the left. It's a good thing.
