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.

We Will Miss You, Barney

Enjoy your milk, Barney.

Barney Frank is retiring.  Why do we love Barney?  Because of things like this.

Frank could be as funny and caustic as a politician was allowed to be.  He is blindingly smart and lightning quick.  I know he said he wants to write, but he has a mind made for television for the quick give and take.

He and Rachel Maddow would be the perfect GLAAD tag team for MSNBC.
