today's blogging hero Robert Schrank: My immigrant father told how in the early part of the last century in Europe people spoke of the streets in America as being paved with gold. Now the the worst thing a conservative Republican can say about the bailout is that it smacks of socialism. The very word "socialism" has become the hell word to describe government intervention in the bailout crisis.posted here Schrank is the author of Ten Thousand Working Days (1979) and Wasn't That a Time?: Growing Up Radical and Red in America (1999). He turns ninety-one years old next week, born two weeks before this event. And he's blogging. Very nicely, in fact. Though apparently he does so mostly under the radar, save to his family members. He has no blogroll. And he lets his grandson post about visiting Burning Man. He is today's hero at TiR. |
