At the beginning of last week, the commentariat was in raptures over the Serious, Courageous, Game-Changing Ryan plan. But now that the plan has been exposed as the cruel nonsense it is, what we’re hearing a lot about is the need for more civility in the discourse.

What we need is personal outreach; let’s do lunch!What's all this about lunch, now?

This blog attempts to respect fuzzy boundaries as best it can.

Further exposition on the 'smash and grab' I mentioned in my comment at Paul K.'s, via Southern Beale.
Every time a Bob Schaeffer or Tweety or George Stuffinenvelopes interviews a GOPer about this, we get the same old line about tax cuts stimulating the economy and no one ever says, "well, it hasn’t yet!"
Snuffleupagus is well-paid to not say it.

Alas, one does not get an op-ed column.

He promised me a soup tureen if I rec'ed him...
