In The New York Times today, Paul Krugman explains why Tom DeLay, someone who thinks that "juvenile violence is the result of day care, birth control and the teaching of evolution" among other insanely extreme views, runs the world. And how, but for certain lucky circumstances like the fall of Enron, he would be getting away with it. (Which is not to say that he won't get away with it, but he is being investigated and has lawyered up.)
*shudder*
