The Lady can write

Peggy Noonan writes that we live in A Time of Lore.

And Wednesday came reports that an asteroid hurtling toward earth could hit us in 2019. Which gave me cause for optimism. Think of all our warring parties. We'd come together to battle the asteroid, pooling our best talent and sharing our genius, wouldn't we? And then once we blew the asteroid up, and had a party, and felt safe, we'd get back to fighting again.

It is amazing that all of this is happening, isn't it?

So much of this is good that I want to cut and paste the entire thing, but I won't. Click, read, enjoy.
