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.

Howler Monkey

 I'm so old, I can remember when Kevin McCarthy acquiesced to the idea that Marjorie Traitor Greene should be denied committee assignments because of her embrace of QAnon.

Now, she might be setting the agenda for the House, including impeaching the Secretary of Homeland Security.

I'm torn. On the one hand, she's shown more political intelligence than I would have assumed in being the power broker for McCarthy's Speakership. On the other, how hard is it to outsmart McCarthy?
