This is an old article I had tucked away in my bookmarks reading it now makes when it was published look like an understatement. FTA: "Eight years ago, with the publication of Susan Jacoby's The Age of American Unreason, our country had a debate about whether its citizens were becoming less intelligent. This year, we had a debate about how big Donald Trump's penis is. While we have not resolved the latter, we have answered the former. Former means first, and latter means second."
