According to Reason TV, this campaign season is absolutely sugar and spice compared to some we’ve had in the past.

You all know the story. A shepherd boy gets bored with his duties and craves something more exciting than watching a herd of sheep graze, so he cries “Wolf!” and the townspeople come running. That ruse worked so well that he tries it again and again and again, each time bringing the townspeople to his rescue.

Then one day a real wolf actually shows up, but when the shepherd boy cries “Wolf!” the townspeople don’t respond. Been there, done that, not doing it again, they say.

Do you think those on the left side of the isle have heard that story? I don’t.

Maybe Santyana looked into the past to predict the future. Maybe he read that

. . . in the twenty-nice years since the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, Americans had already risen in revolt three times, and on each occasion over taxation (A Darn Good History of the United States, 161).

Maybe Congress and the President should read a little history.

How do these guys manage to run a campaign, let alone the country, with their foot always planted firmly in their mouths? First, second, third, and fourth (etc.) it was Coakley, now it’s Van Hollen’s turn. Hollen, chairman of he Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, had this to say about how the Republicans shouldn’t be handed the keys to the Cadillac, er, I mean, the House, just after he said that it was “pure hallucination” to think that Scott Brown might beat Martha Coakley in the contest to see who will succeed Teddy Kennedy as the new senator from Massachusettes:

“Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?” Van Hollen said. “For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.”

Okay, so Chappaquiddick isn’t a ditch.
