Someone said your prognostications reflect hope and not logic.

Now there’s a nuanced assertion. A political pearl.

A perfect example of the Right, following the philosophical teachings of, A Field of Dreams. If you build it, he will come. In this example, if you build a different reality and repeat it over and over and over again, people will eventually believe. They will throw their telescopes away and cease looking at the stars — because everyone now knows, the Sun revolves around the Earth.

There is no logic in politics. If there was we wouldn’t be where we are now. We wouldn’t have a Senate leader shutting down the government and laughing about it on TV.

Hope trumps logic! God, it felt good to use that word in a positive way.

Hope is simply another word for change. And we all know change happens. We just need to believe it. And then do it!
