From my paper

• Jim Bunning. Hooray for his financial realism but to give his liberal critic credit, where was that when his party was in power?
• The ’60s and today contrasted. The optimism of the time, or the future isn’t what it used to be.
• A conservative I won’t vote for. One of the rubber-hose right making small-government noises. I won’t be fooled again.
