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.

Then I thought, but since when did Gangs of (Pick a Number) ever produce anything really admirable.  But I believe McCain and Rubio are sincere on immigration reform, and Flake has made good noises on the issue, so....

And then I remembered the House and realized this was probably a big nothing-burger in the end.
