Prepared to be offended

   [1]Henninger:

     We live in hyperpoliticized times. With the Web drawing
     ever-greater numbers into the daily game, no political offense is
     too slight to raise waves of high dudgeon.

   Whatever happened to being cool and being able to handle stuff instead
   of writing 10,000 word blog posts about every disrespect, perceived
   and otherwise? Maybe it gets you hits, I don't know, but people who
   are in crisis mode all the time get on my damn nerves.
   Be like this, [2]Seipp via [3]Althouse:

     What puzzles me is why so many people are scared of so many
     ridiculous things.
