I still eat out a fair amount. Alcohol and desserts, I am being reminded, are pricey. My biggest nonrent expense by far, though, is travel.

We have not, of course, arrived in a golden age of fair-minded, intellectually honest postpartisanship, as proved by the congressional votes on the stimulus package and the redoubled ferocity of brain-dead partisans. But a majority of Americans out in America are dialing back or turning off their ideological autopilots, thanks to the economic crises, Obama's approach and the post-Cold War realities.
