When I was a child, such people were called *show-offs* and, if
their parents were the right kind of people, were firmly
discouraged from continuing such behaviour, at least in public.
Of course, in those days every child did not have a lawyer on
call, ready to alert the media to the unconscionable torment
suffered when her client was forbidden to moon the school
assembly or wear a *Bush is a Poo Poo Head* shirt to daycare.
Today as Balloon Boy has proved, the only thing that matters to
most people is being Noticed by the International Media. I
predict that it will not be six months before somebody actually
sends his baby aloft in a flying saucer balloon, and after the
poor child falls to her death (it will be a girl this time),
memorials will spring up all along the route the doomed balloon
traced, and the location where the little one was smashed to
flinders will bear a large and tasteless monument aand the
subject of an After School Special.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause
and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress
impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist
surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our
culture.
The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it,
makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so
many people seem to be hostile to it?
