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 Great Mystery

Why is Elizabeth Warren an afterthought in this race?

I get it that people hate "women of a certain age," and they are gunshy after Hillary's experience in 2016. 

But she's much better at politics than she is given credit for, and she would be the best president of the five main remaining candidates.  (Sorry, Joe, you're done.)

Meanwhile the purported frontrunners - Sanders and Buttigieg - have something in common: neither one has really accomplished anything tangible in their lives as public servants.  Of course, that says more about Sanders at this point.
