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.

The WaPo

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/wtf-richard-cohen

The first thing that the new owner of the Washington Post needs to do is fire everyone who writes for their Op-Ed page.  And I would include EJ Dionne and Eugene Robinson.

And then they would have to write a compelling argument for their being re-hired.

Richard Cohen has been an embarrassment for years.  Maybe not as much as torture-apologist Mark Thiessen, but he's been laughably bad.

Promote Ezra Klein from the blog page.  Hire David Frum.

But get some of these fossils under ground where they belong.
