You got the the heart of my piece, Natalie - and thank you. I'd like to write just the facts: the Republicans don't make a case for policy-based governing. But that's so dry, people might read it, but - and nothing against them - they wouldn't absorb it. Heck, I might not either. I feel like the only way to drive home the point, given my limited writing abilities, is to lather it up with my silly satirical nonsense.
