So At Least Two People Agree With Me

From the New Yorker, 6/25/07

If I could change this cartoon in any way, I'd add three words to the caption: "So I drink." 

And, as a bonus, I come across this sentence in Walter Russell Mead's essay in the current issue of  Foreign Affairs

The French have long felt that Englishmen do not like women, are bored or frightened in their presence, and turn to drink as a substitute for female company.

I don't know how accurate the stereotype about Englishmen is, but the link between alcohol and women is dead on.

You probably think this is some sort of a mysterious code, and for some of you it is. Realistic people will consider it as mere reporting the truth:

A cat woke me up 5 minutes ago.

I heard its "voice", recognized it as "the voice".

But you're always talking about how you're an alcoholic misanthrope. Are you different? Or are you lying, and if so, why? You present just enough to be confusing and contradictory, with the enlightenment always out of reach. You have never delivered. Surely it must occur to you that there are many possible motivations for problem drinking, including just silencing emotional pain and trauma so that one can just be functional. You always talk about inability to see the other's perspective, yet put words in the mouths of vast swaths of people you'll never even know. And now you don't blog anymore, and I believe that's for the best.
