The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

No comments on this SOTU speech last night?

I thought it was good and he said what was needed about Ukraine.
"We have it in our power to begin the world over again"

It is really hard to listen to Biden speak through all his gaffs and especially a speech as important as that one.

Before last night I was unaware you can't build a wall high enough to keep out a vaccine.  Judging by the look on Nancy Pelosi's face she wasn't either.

By Biden standards it wasn't a bad speech (although even CNN's Chris Cillizza, who usually grades Biden public speaking on a very generous curve, called him out for confusing Ukrainians and Iranians); at very least his message on Ukraine was on target. 

Representatives Boebert's and Greene's behavior was both appalling and unsurprising.  (Assuming that they're re-elected) we should build them a special Statler and Waldorf box for the next State of the Union.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

They heckled him throughout; this article (fittingly in the entertainment section) gives a detailed account.

Actually I think this picture:

Of them shouting "Build the wall" says it all.

Two economists examined state voter ID laws enacted between 2008 and 2018 and found no evidence of suppression.

Like I've been saying all along.

Fun factoid from the same Economist article: black turnout was higher than white turnout during Obama's general elections.

Wait, two economists agreed on what a data set means?  That alone would give any reasonable person some pause as to just  how credible the analysis is.
