The Party's Over
Mar. 25th, 2004 10:34 am(T)here has not been a sudden sea change in party platforms and the rampant fiscal irresponsibility of the Republicans is not a mystery; they are merely returning to their historical roots. The Republican Party was established as a party of big government and economic intervention.

Monday I handed in the picture of Alex Hamilton I used to carry around my neck, the one with my own picture at the bottom. (The portrait of Alex was kind of faint. For a long time I thought it was a smudge.) I guess I am free to be a Democrat if I want to be. Or any other damn thing I feel like. Then again I always was. At least as free as anybody else, and maybe a little more. Which may not be all that much.
Cheers.
