You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain |

 Send to email | Brad Delong sums up modern politics in Policy and Politics |  By Thoughts
el 16-Aug-2011 | Delong, a former Clinton economist and current econ professor at UC Berkeley, writes:
You Know, I Arrived in Washington in 1993 to Work for Lloyd Bentsen's Treasury as Part of the Sane Technocratic Bipartisan Center...
And it took me only two months--two months!--to conclude that America's best hope for sane technocratic governance required the elimination of the Republican Party from our political system as rapidly as possible. Nothing since has led me to question or change that belief--only to strengthen it. This, apropos of TX governor Rick Perry's declaration that anything the Federal Reserve might do to bolster the economy would be "almost treasonous." And speaking of treason, Perry expressed his opposition to Bernanke's policies by telling an Iowa audience "I don't know what you'all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas."
I don't know about Iowa, but in the parts of the country where I've lived, people didn't cotton to jokes about lynching government employees. Then again, I never lived in a state that seceded from the Union, nor has my governor ever suggested that secession seemed like a good option in the 21st century. Turns out, as far as political whackjobbery, Kansas wasn't so bad. Read the comments on this post...

| On politics | | Ophelia Benson has a post up looking at an interview between Benjamin Nelson (a sometime commenter here) and Chris Mooney. Nelson summarizes the interview, and the broader accommodation/confrontation conflict, by writing:
[Mooney's] stance is self-consciously political. At least to some extent, there is a ?difference in goals? between Mooney and the activist atheists ? by whic [..] Read complete article | | Published 04-Jan-2011 by Thoughts in Culture Wars

| Kansas politics in brief | | Bush's Brain, aka Turd Blossom, comes to Wichita to help "Memory Pills" Roberts remember how to run a campaign. Apparently Bob Dole is back in Kansas, too, bringing his special brand of medicine to boost a different part of the Roberts campaign. Looks like he's scared of Jim Slattery.
Meanwhile, State Senator Donald Betts, challenging mother-hating Todd Tiahrt in the Kansas 4th, is fe [..] Read complete article | | Published 15-May-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| Slightly more on politics | | The other day I laid out a bit of my position on the importance of being self-consciously political, and Amanda Marcotte has a great post on a related issue:
Nowadays, however, the verb ?to politicize? is used, 90% of the time, to suggest that politics and government are silly little trifles that shouldn?t be involved when something really serious is on the table. That?s how [..] Read complete article | | Published 18-Jan-2011 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics
