Origins of Wednesday xxi: One good towel

I can't believe we couldn't restruc-ture our entire political polar system between that faction of humanity which desires only one good cry, and the one which would settle for one good towel. Not that the basis for their achieving a consensus is obscure. Where the substance of each position is so amenable to the justifications of the other, nobody particularly cares very much for holding hearings on that moisture, much less on that absorbency, for that very reason. Plainly, to govern anybody on the basis of so much common understanding only threatens to engulf Conservatism in Trumpism, which is as infamous for the sumptuous towel as for voluminous tears. Such a shame.
