Errata

I’m hoping there’s a silver lining for Conservatism in yesterday’s passage of sweeping healthcare “reform”: a realization by Republicans that the noisemongers in their lunatic fringe have been leading them into the wilderness; that all the shrill-yet-empty obstructionist bloviation of the last twelve months did nothing more than rally House Democrats — from Blue Dogs to socialists — against them.

So the GOP can console itself with the moral victory of sticking to their “values.” As  Pyrrhus said, “Another such victory, and I am undone.”
