Meyerson on TAP

Short Winter's Nap

Beginning tomorrow, the

**Prospect**'s staff will be taking some time to recover from the
year's tumult, engaging instead in yuletide meditation and occasional
heavy drinking. Through New Year's, we'll be posting our favorite
pieces from this year, along with some golden oldies from our archives
(e.g., my attack-reflecting my shock, my sense of betrayal-on the
rightward drift of Grover Cleveland). Of course, in the event of Satanic
Intervention or, forgive the redundancy, a major effort by Trump to
overturn the election and the republic, we'll return to the fray.

In any case, we'll be back immediately after New Year's, reporting
on the ground from Georgia, watching Trump forcing the Republicans to
choose between him and the Constitution, assessing Biden's picks and
what they portend for policy, mulling over the future of humankind, and
so on.

To our readers, profuse thanks for engaging with us and supporting us
(donations to the

**Prospect**, of course, are tax-deductible
). Have as happy a
set of holidays as conditions permit, and (we sincerely hope) then some!
