Krugman on California

Two links to NY Times columnists in two days? Either I gotta get out more, or these guys are good. Maybe both. Paul Krugman on what's happening in the Golden State:"California, it has long been claimed, is where the future happens first. But is that still true? If it is, God help America."

To be blunt: recent events suggest that the Republican Party has been driven mad by lack of power. The few remaining moderates have been defeated, have fled, or are being driven out. What’s left is a party whose national committee has just passed a resolution solemnly declaring that Democrats are “dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals,” and released a video comparing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to Pussy Galore.
