Honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of practical jokes — at least, not when played on me. Don’t like the attention or appreciate the embarrassment, and it’s all the worse when things get damaged or need to be cleaned afterward. But, some people enjoy them.

This week I offer another citation about Leftism from Dennis Prager’s Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph, in which he addresses a particular apparent inconsistency between the values and actions of those on the Left.
