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.

Political Theater

 People are hanging on the hearings for Amy Comey Barrett as if they make a difference. They really don't. Amy Klobuchar landing a Gotcha doesn't matter at all. Unless a handful of GOP Senators get Covid and die, she's going to be confirmed and sit on the Court for decades.

Hopefully most of the decades will be served in the minority, scribbling out fan-fiction to the ghost of Antonin Scalia.
