Some Things Should Not Be Controversial

Here are some things on which all rational people ought to agree:

Bridges ought not to fall down.

Freeway overpasses ought not to fall down.

Schools ought not to fall down.

Hospitals ought not to fall down.

But the leaders of the Republican party do not want to spend the money necessary to prevent the bridges, freeways, schools, and hospitals from falling down.

Why?

Because better bridges, freeways, schools, and hospitals would make Obama look good.

And that is anathema.

Anything which might make Obama look good is to be avoided at all costs.

All costs.

Including the deaths of innocents.

They will be perfectly happy to found their careers on the soil of the graves of the innocent.

Go ahead. Vote for that.
