an infrequent digression into things political

I was happy that, in this season of America's discontent, Cali maintained its sanity and failed to export any wild eyed anarchists to Washington.

Other states did not fare as well.

And the party’s advisers on health care policy say it is being discussed more seriously than ever, though they admit it may be as much a huge in-your-face to Washington as anything else.

Its tempting to laugh at such juvenile playground posturing masquerading as political philosophy. Only my certainty that Texas's Medicaid recipients need the help every bit as desperately as California's stay my guffaws.
