“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” -Groucho Marx
On the Diane Rehm website it says this about Judith Levine's book:
An award-winning journalist describes a year-long experiment in which she and her partner take a vow to stop shopping for anything but necessities for sustenance, health, and business.
I listened to the show and the juxtaposition was blinding. The Democratic party has no strategy and apparently not buying necessities excludes Internet access and gourmet coffee, a place in New York and a house in Vermont; and three vehicles for two people. I am willing to bet Ms. Levine is a Democrat. And the fact that she considers not going out to eat a sacrifice shows how far out of touch with the rest of America New York Intellectuals are. These are the people that make it hard for normal Americans to join the Democratic party and is why the only Democrats who can win the presidency are southern Democrats.
