What a Burke

The first paragraph of this David Brooks article reads:

Modern conservatism begins with Edmund Burke. What Burke articulated was not an ideology or a creed, but a disposition, a reverence for tradition, a suspicion of radical change.

I'm pretty sure "radical change" encompasses pink dress shirts and hot pink ties with electric blue fishies[*], dude. (See the picture.)

Hey, it's nothing to me, but someone oughtta tell him.

You will be getting stale images for Foto Friday, late, because I have to spend the rest of the afternoon cleaning up the shrapnel from the glass bomb that went off in my kitchen when the maintenance man dropped four feet of fluorescent bulb. Oh, he swept up the big pieces, but there were little chips all over the counters. I oughta just ingest one and die, and then Niles will own this complex. That'll learn 'em.

[*]Or whatever those are.
