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.

I Love This Picture


It reminds me of Robert Frost's advice to John Kennedy.  "You have a touch of the Irish in you, and a touch of Harvard.  Be more Irish than Harvard."

I am awaiting the Wingnut - probably a member of the legislature in a former Confederate state - who will photoshop a bottle of malt liquor over the glass of Guinness.

Part of what makes Obama a remarkable human being - regardless of what you feel about his politics - is that he is in many ways, the quintessential 21st century man.  He is from everywhere.
