Thoughtful today
In one of those fun links-to-links progressions, I came upon normblog and his interview with Dymphna (whose own blogs are The Neighborhood of God and Gates of Vienna - both quite interesting). He asked her "What is your favourite piece of political wisdom?" to which she answered,
"Wanniski's idea that the Republicans are the Daddy party and the Democrats are the Mommy party. The dads want you to be strong and able to take care of yourself. The moms want you to be safe and for things to be 'fair'. What we need, and don't have, is a Mensch party, one that would provide both strength and compassion."Too tidy and cute to be entirely accurate, but pretty close and amen to the last.
