For too long, those of us on the left have refused to engage in politics as the rightists do: free of conscience and dead-heartedly. Maybe it's just because we're good people or because we're a tad squeamish or, less generously, because we're just not any good at it

I’m in Canada right now (British Columbia to be more specific, [Whistler Village to be even more specific {the Mountainside Lodge to be most specific of all}]), after having spent 5 ½ days trying to get some writing done. How’d it go? Like it usually goes: not well.

So I'm crossing the Canadian border just north of Blaine, Washington, in my silvery and lovely Civic. Nearly every time I cross over, I get hassled.
