Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

What Did We Vote For Again?

So, we had the epochal midterm election, but only 40% are pleased with the result.  About 28% are disappointed, whereas 27% don't care much and 5% don't even know what they think about the midterm.

Now that we've "thrown the bums out" the percentage of people disappointed with Washington has risen from 51% to 56%.

I think we can now safely interpret the midterm election.  The American people clearly sent a message to Washington, DC.  And that message is "Mambo dogface in the banana patch."
