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.

RFK, Jr's Reign Of Error

 The Atlantic published a series of thumbnail bios of people who have been fired or accepted retirement or quit on principle over the last year. It's a sobering example of the gutting of the Federal bureaucracy of it's institutional ballast.

What becomes clear is that the devastation wrought by RFK to public health and public science is brutal, far reaching and soon to be lethal. 

That gasoline, gargling creature with a face like a dried apricot is among the many sins of the swing voters who thought, "Eggs are pricey, what's the worst that can happen."
