Yes it is.

I had a discussion with a friend who is English and works in DC as a free lance policy wonk for different think tanks — a pretty cool job but he is over educated, articulate and thinks 50 moves ahead, so he deserves it. Anyway, he told me about 5 years ago that the Democrats had really turned into the reactionary party and that they would come to power on a promise to turn back the clocks but presented in a way that seemed forward looking.

I argued with him.

He was dead right.

I think I will email him my concession on the matter.

In other words, Howard Dean happened.

It’s very sad to to see this happen. I wonder what country will be the shining city on the hill, because it sure as hell won’t be us anymore.
