"The Eradication of Trust" (Eugene Robinson):
Trust might as well be a four-letter word. American public opinion seems to have become an unguided Weapon of Mass Suspicion, and it’s not hard to understand why.

Today’s Democrats seem very much like—well—Republicans. If the Democrats still had voices like Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, and Molly Ivins, there might never have been a need for a Tea Party.Right on cue. Norman Solomon asks "Who Let the Blue Dogs Out?"
