CLINTON VERSUS THE SLACKERS. Further efforts by New York’s junior senator to alienate me as she decides that young people these days are just all too lazy. “They don’t know what work is. They think work is a four-letter word.” Who, exactly, does she think is fighting her regret-free war? The legendarily hard-working, nose-to-the-grindstone baby boom generation?
