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.

Clown



Hey, Mr. Speaker?  Have the frakking votes before you call a vote.  Just a suggestion.

What are we to make of a party that hates government so much, it takes it over and doesn't even bother to figure out how it works?

I used to have sympathy for Boehner, who I saw as a typical smoke-filled room dealmaker.

Now I just have contempt for his weakness and ineffectualness.
