Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Addendum to Mencken. 

Rick Rosner: The 1930s, when Mencken was working weren’t a nice era because it was deep in the depression. But it would be nice besides the misery of living in the depression to live in an era in which Puritans actually walked the walk. The people who made other people miserable for being happy at least weren’t complete hypocrites; they practiced to a certain extent what they preached.
