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 Worst People

Jeffrey Epstein's indictment is long overdue. There is an obvious political angle this story, as some of the men accused of having Epstein procur underaged women are powerful political figures.

Another angle is how there is simply two legal systems in this country. There is no reason why Epstein wasn't in prison for years. But he was rich, he was well-connected, he was walking the streets.

I don't know how we solve this problem, but it's very real.
