Long time nemesis: Barbara Boxer!

Fer cryin' out loud: "long-time nemesis?"

What's with the cartoonish wording here? This isn't a Superman strip, although maybe our state politicians--and news reporters--have forgotten that part. According to the rhetoric, it would appear that we're on the final showdown between the forces of Good and Evil.

Except no one looks really that good or bad--they all just look kind of stupid.

You just have to wonder. Why do they want it so badly? What do they get out of it that makes it worth while to spend millions of their own money--as well as all the money of their friends and supporters, which is kind of worse--to get elected? When someone wants something so badly that they're basically willing to do anything to get it, you start wondering.

Or at least, I sure do.
