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.

Required Reading

The GOP caucus at work.

Once you read this, you can understand why we should take nothing for granted on the debt ceiling.  While the McConnell-Reid plan might have some hope of working to avoid default, it's shoddy governing.

The reason why the GOP can't agree to what they likely would have done if they had control of the White House and Senate is because many members of the GOP caucus are either willfully evil or blindingly stupid.

There just isn't any other way to spin the comments from that piece above.
