"Off the tracks and hurtling forward, toward an unknown destination."

Peggy Noonan's lastest in Opinion Journal strikes a resonant chord. As non-specific as she is, a lot of us know exactly of what she writes. Hilary used to write about this sort of thing in Fiat Mihi. So occasionally do Jeff Culbreath and others. All from different viewpoints, of course, and not limited to the political sphere. But the sense that the wheels have indeed come off the trolley is not Miss Noonan's alone.

See if you recognize the experience.
