Now, at last, I understand how I ended up the way that I am.
I was raised on PBS Children’s Television, and the creative force behind that was into some heavy-duty psychedelics.

Breton tells an interesting story here, but he doesn’t come to the same conclusion as I do. The moral of this story seems to be that Johnson was a political neophyte whose inaugural clumsiness turned two of his allies into enemies.
Of course, all politicians have to attend the school of hard knocks sometime, and it’s better to do it early than late.
Whether the mayor has a future in politics will depend greatly on what he learned from this thorny experience.

On the other hand, politics isn’t business. Helping retired people or badly maimed veterans with their health care needs isn’t “efficient.” If you were a businessperson, you’d do anything to keep those veterans out of your hospital. It’s not the job of a businessman to feel sad about the consequences of cutbacks for your marriage, your employees, your grandma, or your community. But it should be the president’s job. The inherently destructive nature of a dynamic market economy means that lots of people are suffering on any given day thanks to forces beyond their control. Romney’s strength is that he understands those forces better than anyone in the race, but his weakness is that he doesn’t understand the suffering.

Mitt Romney has been unbelievably lucky, but President Obama may be even luckier.
