For What It's Worth

Just noticed in my Twitter feed that Dick Lugar says he expects to face a Tea Party primary challenger next time around — I’m assuming because of how he helped sheppard New START through the Senate.

A couple weeks ago I had an in-depth conversation with someone working missile defense on the contractor side of things. More clearances on this person than most hippies have dandruff flakes. And I put it to them like this:

From what I’ve read, New Start is either a good and necessary treaty, an OK but mostly harmless treaty, a useless treaty, or the worst thing since canned bread. So which is it?

And my friend said, “Yes, it is — a little bit of all four.”
