WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! That’s thought one. GOOD. It’s nice when justice is served. That’s thought two. But this great moment is worth more comment and thought than that. There are important political and policy lessons to be learned from this as the election to choose our next Commander in Chief heats up. So, in no particular order… […]

Non-Live Blog of the State of the Union
January 26th, 2011 · Comments Off on Non-Live Blog of the State of the Union
I couldn’t live blog tonight, as I had a class to teach. But I listened to most of it on the radio, and watched the rest on DVR when I got home. I wish the entire nation could have seen Governor Sandoval’s speech last night, in order to contrast it with this one. Sandoval gave […]

A Nonsensical Liberal Argument that Admits Liberalism Doesn’t Work
February 22nd, 2009 · Comments Off on A Nonsensical Liberal Argument that Admits Liberalism Doesn’t Work
Yesterday in the RGJ, there was a piece by local columnist David Jacobs snarkily noting that neither George Bush nor Congressional Republicans (back when they held majorities) were all that fiscally conservative.

I came across this video today via the Politico. Not only did it crack me up, but it reminded me why I still like Bush, on the whole.
