"I have found happiness. I no longer pursue it, for it is mine.”

Here is the Oregon Muse post this morning at Ace of Spades.

"So here's a NY Times food columnist singing the praises of George H.W. Bush who unfortunately passed away the day before the column was published, so he wasn't around to read how much he was loved by his enemies. Because, as we all know, there are no good Republicans other than dead ones. Also, why can't today's Republicans be like the old Republicans, i.e. not fighting back. Not that they fought back much while they were alive, except against other Republicans. Which is why they hate Trump: he hits back. Bush 41 served his country admirably in WWII, so I respect him for that. But I don't think he was a particularly good president. There, I said it. Remember, in the run-up to the 1980 GOP nomination, he used the phrase 'voodoo economics' to describe Reagan's policy proposals? At heart, Bush was no conservative, he was your archetypical 'country club Republican'. Yes, he gave us Clarence Thomas, but he also gave us David Souter, and he left the impression they were all the same to him. But aside from that, the spectacle of all the lefties boo-hooing like they lost a long-time pal is disgusting and hypocritical."
