Commentary: Rich Manieri - Unity awash in a sea of exclamation points

An email laced with exclamation points is never a good sign. At least not if you’re me.
In my world, exclamation points usually follow words such as “idiot!” or “communist!” I take issue with the latter though the former is certainly up for discussion.
Moreover, when the salutation itself is followed by an exclamation point, as it was in a recent email, I know it’s trouble. “Mr. Manieri!”
Inside voice, I’m right here.
This particular writer went on to make several assumptions about my intellect or lack of. He ended with a call to action. “Defend your character!”

Rioters climb the west wall of the Capitol in Washington.Jose Luis Magana | AP
You might have seen the photo by now. Of all the disturbing images of Wednesday’s insurrection, this one lingers.
The photo shows seven or so Trump supporters scaling the wall on the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol.
There’s a certain irony in this photo, due only perhaps to the way my mind works.
On June 6, 1944, D-Day, a group of 225 Army Rangers scaled a 100-foot cliff at Pointe Du Hoc on the coast of Normandy in France. The soldiers used ropes and ladders as German gunfire rained down on them. It was chaos and carnage but they kept climbing and a handful made it to the top.

Some people are sensitive about their titles. Some are sensitive on behalf of others who are sensitive, which might help explain the hysterical response of some liberals to a Wall Street Journal op-ed in which contributing writer, Joseph Epstein, argued that soon-to-be first lady, Jill Biden, should drop her “doctor” title.
As an aside, liberals don’t have the market cornered on hysterical responses. (See President Joe Biden = Apocalypse)
Regarding the issue at hand, among other things, Epstein said Biden’s “doctor” title “feels fraudulent,” pointing out that Biden is not a medical doctor. She holds a Ph.D. in education from the University of Delaware. (Go, Blue Hens.)
