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.

Stewart On Ferguson

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/jon-stewart-ferguson

It was a bullshit fantasy then and it's a bullshit fantasy now.
