Conservatives who squawk about the deficit — and Democrats who should know better, but squawk anyway — tend to do so selectively. That is, they tend to focus only on spending.

The theme this time around was People, and so I thought I would go with photos of important people in my life. That didn't work out, so I then thought I would rather show different shots of Pumpkin Island Lighthouse, which is our view when we stay at Moose and Squirrel, a house in Little Deer Isle, Maine. Obviously, I didn't take these today, but so what. We sit out on the ...
