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.

What Is This World Coming To?

For a moment there, Sarah Palin made sense.

But don't worry, it passed.

But at least she was able to discern that our current immigration system needs fixing.

John McCain has a lot to answer for: his support for the Iraq misadventure and every jingoistic military adventure anyone can dream up.  But when Sarah Palin was elevated to the presidential ticket, it signaled the complete embrace of the Idiot Wing of the GOP.  This was the root of the Teahadists.

And yet even she can see the problems with what we are doing now.
