Via Dan Griswold of Cato, Lou Dobbs last night (and his last night) on the current state of national affairs:
[national affairs] are now defined in the public arena by partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous empirical thought and forthright analysis and discussion. I will be working diligently to change that as best I can.
(In my best Seth Meyers impersonation) Really, Mr. Dobbs? Really?

Polarization and Cable News
Steve Chapman on the myth of extreme political polarization. He points to cable news as a main culprit in promoting this false idea.
In my eyes cable news is MTV for people who want to feel politically relevant; it'll keep you updated and 'hip', but you will never actually learn anything of substance.
Cable news is like the Jerry Spring Show; entertaining for five minutes, discomforting after ten, and simpy nauseating after a half-hour.
I could do this all day.
