We could do worse. And have, for that matter.

I’d gladly swap these candidates for quite a few current Congressmen.  And that includes more than a few Republicans.  A homeless gutter punk, tarot card reader – even drug addicts would probably spend more responsibly than the current crop of legislators.

Via Althouse via Insty.

I’m definitely making some

Quote of the day…

“What do I really think about Hawking’s theory? I guess the obvious answer is that you can’t talk about Hawking’s latest work without touching on Richard Feynman’s quantic experiment, which famously involved a double-slit barrier that particles were projected at. You have to accept as Jose Rodrigues dos Santos says, the Hawking explanation that “it was inevitable that a universe fine-tuned for life would emerge – it’s just a statistical accident.” (Admit it, you never saw that paragraph coming. It was like a tightly coiled puma, waiting to pounce.)”

Time to visit D.C. again?

I haven’t been to Washington D.C. in some time (even when we lived in the ‘burbs we seldom went to town to do touristy things, something I now regret deeply) but it sounds like the city’s improved a lot since the 90s.  Maybe New Orleans can get Fenty after D.C. is done with him. 

I realize it’s not Shatnerday, but…

an interesting read, nevertheless.
