You may have missed it. But something wonderful has happened. For the past 48 hours we’ve heard absolutely nothing about the Thrilla from Wasilla. Ain’t it grand, this respite?
Sarah Palin infamously talks without speaking. The news media infamously hears without listening. Yet neither side dared disturb the “sound of silence.” The neon god that McCain made is missing, if only for now. For Simon & Garfunkel, “silence like a cancer grows.” Here’s hoping for a rapidly-spreading, metaphorical tumor.
