Off Topic - Politics

Timothy Egan wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times today about Arizona's wacko legislature and Governor. Unfortunately it is spot on and perhaps even a bit too kind. It can be found at:

The piece starts off with: "Even a spate of recent temperatures in the 105-degree range cannot explain the latest doings of government by crackpots."

And finishes up with: "There’s no mystery what a nation run by the Tea Party and talk-radio zealots who’ve taken over the G.O.P. would look like. It would be Arizona....The people who now control the state are proof of the old saying that in a democracy, voters get what they deserve."
