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.

There Is No Penalty For Hypocrisy

 Rand Paul is among the worst people in a GOP filled to the brim with people who learned from Trump that the way to electoral success is being an utter asshole to "those people." Paul has repeatedly attacked disaster spending for other states, and now the horrible tragedy in Kentucky means that he will ask for disaster relief for his constituents.

Kentucky needs all of our help right now, and Rand Paul's utter assholeness should not detract from that. But we should absolutely hang this around his neck every chance we get. 

Will it make a difference? Of course not.
