Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

    I dare say that there isn’t one single policy proposal that you couldn’t round up a posse of political pundits and economists to oppose it. Let’s test that out; ‘Leading economic and political pundits agree that throwing bags of money out the windows of limousines is a bad idea.’ See.
