The Long View

Well, Sarah, that “hopey, changey thing” is looking pretty good to me. Looking much better than that “nopey, dopey thing” that you, the Tea Baggers, the Tea Baggers’ punditry, and the Tea Baggers’ paramours, the Republican Party, have going on.

In one week (after a year’s work, of course): Health care reform (not perfect but the best we’ve had during my more than half century on earth), student financial aid reform (access to higher education was responsible for the unprecedented post-World War II social and economic expansion and may continue to work its magic), and a new nuclear arms limitation treaty with Russia (which may help in containing nuclear arms proliferation, as in Iran).

So, Sarah, while there are some in America who are dazzled by your manic pageant performance, and a desperate John McCain and the Tea Bag Nation turns its lonely eyes to you, I’ll stick with No-Drama Hopey Changey.
