Thomas Massie is a red wheelbarrow [View all]

William Carlos Williams' famous poem begins with the line, "So much depends on a red wheelbarrow, glazed with rain water...." It's a beautiful paean to the importance of small, ordinary things. So much does depend on whether Massie wins his GOP primary fight today because should he prevail, a spell will be broken and there may be, just maybe, a chance Republicans in Congress may get some backbone, possibly forestalling the rising chaos, bullying, voter intimidation, grifting, etc. as we approach the midterms. I hope he wins today and as a result the White House is forced to stock up on so much Depends.
