Happy Thoughts for Steph
Since Steph has been getting depressed by the political climate recently (and who can blame her?), I figured I'd link to this piece at Powerline. It makes an excellent and too-often overlooked point: the standard of living enjoyed by an average American today dwarfs that of the kings and emperors of ages past. OK, it would be nice to have 10 servants to do laundry, but we have washing machines, so that puts us ahead of any but the superrich of the past even on this one, trivial point.
