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.

Under Siege

I'm teaching Russia right now in Comp Gov.  At the end of class, a student asked why we haven't done more to combat Russian meddling.

It's because Trump can't admit that he benefitted from that meddling.  Lord Smallgloves' tiny, fragile ego cannot permit this reality to penetrate "his government."
