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.

Governing From A Defensive Crouch

As I've argued before, anything that Bob Schrum advises is probably stupid.

Obama's decision to delay immigration reform is a bad one.  But it's a bad one he set up himself by saying he would do something.

This is just terrible politics and terrible policy.
