SHOUTS & MURMURS
PAUL RUDNICK
EVERY TEN-BEST LIST

1. Something so obscure and pretentious that you’re the only person who’s ever seen, read, or listened to it. Use the phrases “soul-shattering,” “proudly noncommercial,” “blazingly idiosyncratic,” and “seemingly empty yet rife with meaning.”

2. Something super-successful that you can ratify in a quasi-absurdist, neo-ironic way, with language like “populist,” “ubiquitous,” “surprisingly heartfelt,” and “Taylor Swift meets Beyoncé meets Justin and Britney Beanie Babies.”

But, on the façades of small businesses and in the doorways of private homes, I could see evidence of political activity. Across from the sparkling Susquehanna River, there was a row of Democratic lawn signs: Malcolm Kenyatta for auditor general, Bob Casey for U.S. Senate, and, most important, in white letters atop a periwinkle not unlike that of the sky, Kamala Harris for President.
