Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

I won't pressure you to read or not to read this story, but I hope you heard the quip it starts with:
Last week, President Bush offered a wry critique of his Democratic challengers. "They're for tax cuts and against them. They're for NAFTA and against NAFTA. They're for the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act. They're in favor of liberating Iraq, and opposed to it. And that's just one senator from Massachusetts."
Relatedly, the National Journal came out with an analysis of all 100 Senators a few days ago, and claimed that John Kerry was the most liberal. My immediate reaction: since when is John Kerry consistent enough to be the most liberal member of the Senate?
