Usually I write about what I care about, which is a weakness but I think also a strength.

I'm not anti-immigration.

Do Obama and Boxer realize they are on the wrong side of a tsunami of voter discontent with a government run by and for the public employee unions?

If Americans are reluctant to go on the dole that's because they have a healthy work ethic.

One danger, when you're writing lots of quick, opinionated blog items about the latest developments, is that you never get around to stating fully, in one place, what you think about a particular topic.

Do we really want a society in which the stigma of going on the dole has been erased?

I don't have any particular beef with Barbara Boxer. My beef is with the official Democratic doctrine that anybody who reaches Boxer's position has to spout and has to endorse.
