[FRIAM] the power of metaphor.

[Marcus Daniels]

The prior reflections by Glen on young adulthood makes me wonder about Ted's.   Was there a particular point at which he decided to be a public person and that he realized he could find an angle in any situation?   Did he anticipate what his life would become, or did he just fall into it?  Sometimes it seems like he doesn't even enjoy it.   It seems there is no objective distance he gets from his nihilism.  There's just always the next thing he has to do.

Bret Stephens, a NYT columnist, described Ted Cruz as "a serpent covered in Vaseline" .  Will I ever get that image out of my head?
