In a year of financial crisis and largely bloodless economic debate, three recent developments have once again made social issues relevant. How this happened is a reversal of a common misconception that cultural conservatives have kept the culture wars alive against the wishes of liberals, who are tired of the whole thing.

Ron Paul is not a breath of fresh air in the Republican Party. He’s not a speaker of truth to power. He’s not the heir to Reagan or the face of conservatism for the next generation.

From the continuing annals of conventional wisdom proved wrong comes this — in professional football, a running play of three yards, rather than being the sign of offensive success, actually lowers a team’s chances of scoring on that possession, and therefore lowers the team’s chances of winning the game.

Everyone is lamenting the decline of imagination. In some half-remembered land of lost content, we made things and dreamed big dreams.

I’ll start with the usual disclaimers: Herman Cain has not been found guilty of anything in a court of law. Accusations are sometimes just accusations.

Sept. 11 was a foundational event for the Millennial generation. It was an end to childhood — at least the childhood of complete and enveloping safety — and the end of the world our parents expected us to inherit.
