In her 1995 book Radio On: A Listener's Diary, in the wake of the 1994 Republican take over of congress led by Newt Gingrich, using the refrain of a Rolling Stones song Sarah Vowell makes a comment about the state of our country that I find to be an apt summary of our political condition today.
"From the looks of things, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is turning into the national anthem. Problem is, what if you can't get what you need?"
Fifteen years later have we really made all that much progress?
