"We are in a era when the people most politically invested in American governance want to toss out the carpenters, and hands their tools to the jackasses." And, unfortunately, in this era of anti-expertise, there are a lot jackasses available. I'm glad that you're constantly writing about this and making the problem more visible. We have to do everything possible to vote out Republicans at every level of government.
Outstanding work, Don! Congratulations on getting space in the NYT.
thanks so much - definitely has a broader reach than my blog!
