Tête-à-Tête-Tête

It’s good to talk about the theory - or at least the rhetoric - public policy debates. That’s my style, anyway. I like to talk about how the right uses “personal responsibility” to memory hole our social responsibilities, and how we should not let that work… how we should remember both. How [...]

It’s 12 days now, or thereabouts, that the Democrats have controlled Congress. Having fumigated the old stink of corruption from the GOP side, it’s time to start the sniffers up for early signs of Democratic putrescence.
