Anti-establishment gestures, both welcome and silly

Now that I'm out of the parish, I can write about politics again.

Tuesday primary results: Arlen Specter lost the Democratic nomination in his bid for re-election in Pennsylvania (his first race as an actual, rather than a vitual, Democrat), and extremist Rand Paul, son of extraterrestrial former presidential candidate Ron Paul, won the Republican nomination for the Senate in Tennessee.

Hopefully both of yesterday's winners will be losers in November. We need fewer, rather than more, extremists in Washington, and also fewer supporters of the current administration.
