This thread made me search back to find Wretch on Horowitz, which I had not read.

Expecting to get some common sense.

Instead I get Horowitz as Peggy Noonan.

I say there is intrinsic value in SANITY,
when all around you have gone berserk.
Enough of this Imaginary Child’s Play.
It is what it is,
and it ain’t pretty.

Horowitz as Noonan or John McCain ain’t gonna cut it.
