Ugh!

I don't often read Tom Friedman's column (despite that fact that he is a Brandeis graduate). I often find him annoyingly simplistic but his piece in today's New York Times is absolutely dead on. In fact, all the editorials and op eds are worth reading today.

What's going on in Washington is so disgusting and depressing for so many reasons but what hit me today was how it must destroying any young person's interest or involvement in the political process. We must be losing a whole generation of voters, candidates, supporters. What young person of any intelligence would now ever want to go into politics, work for the government or run for office.
