Anyway, three cheers to all traditional-progressives!

Yes, that sounds like an oxymoron because that’s where we are linguistically these days. Conservatives have abandoned their traditional religious values, neo-liberals have empowered the few to the exclusion of the many.

Time for new blood and new terms. And Pelosi is new blood relative to several thousand years of male hegemony.

She’s doing great.
