The average American has regular contact with the federal government at three points - the IRS, the post office and the TSA. Start with that fact if you are formulating a unified field theory to explain the public's current political mood.

I've got double posts over at Facebook, so I am taking off the clicks at the bottom of the page -- to see if one or both posts over there don't show up....

I'd be a lot more impressed with that if Will weren't openly calling for racial profiling. He's been very hot on that topic lately, which makes this column nothing more than a white-man's-privilege screed.

Is he, now? Pity. I thought Wills was a conservative, but sounds like he's a Republican Teabagger. Used to be he had some class. Guess that's no longer the case.
