Back When Politics Was Just Politics
I was hoping for an image or two from last night’s bipartisan get-together at the White House. Short of that (and inspired by the image above), I was reminiscing about the days when Republicans acted “a little bigger,” and personal relationships could exist while “agreeing to disagree.” (image: Barry...

Utter Infantilization
