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.

Annnnd We're Back

 Lots of AP reading. Lots of travel. Finally settling in for a couple of weeks.

Luckily nothing happened while I was away...

Of course, nothing and everything always happen. The obsessions of the moment are often forgotten before the next obsession even comes along. There are still Covid Hawks out there and they thing the vast bulk of us are ignorant, selfish asses for not maintaining masks and distancing. In fact, we've just conveniently forgotten the fear we felt in March of 2020. That's easier.

I think the January 6th hearings are intended to remind us of why that was such a big deal. And maybe it will. But most likely we will forget again. 

It's our nature.
