It’s an intriguing notion - the idea that one of the things that has been plaguing those of us on the non-polarized extremes is the lack of a good descriptor. Both “moderates” and “centrists” are a bit too limiting and do not make room in the tent for such people as Ellis, Krugman, Will, Sykes, Applbaum, Pamela Paul and so many others. A major requirement of this coalition of the sane, after all, is to agree to disagree on a lot of the details, while coming together to defeat the excesses of the right, left, and whatever RFK, Jr. represents (the down?). So, Sanity it is! On to Year Two, in which all we have to lose is this great nation of ours!
Joe, we love our weekly jolts of Sanity here in Orange County, NY. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, Gerry...Have you seen American Fiction? Up your alley.

And thanks, Curtis for the constant sanity and insight of your comments.
