Strange Bedfellows

A few years ago, I drew a distinction between the Establishment Left and the Populist Left. At the time, I thought of the Establishment Left as preferable to the “barking moonbat” Populist Left. It's a bit disconcerting to find that, when it comes to opposition to the Kelo decision, I'm allied with the moonbats.

Meanwhile, the most appropriate motto for this coalition comes from Tom Lehrer's National Brotherhood Week:

Step up and shake the hand of someone you can't stand
You can tolerate him if you try
