US: Cultural Irrigation Needed?

[adderslj]

I'd be very interested as to what US readers think of this article.

Despite being published by The Guardian, it's from a right-wing commentator, incidentally.

I'm inherently skeptical of any politician, particularly someone touted as the "next best thing" at a point where the current politician is abysmally bad. When you have a glass full of sewage with a drop of wine, and a glass full of wine with a drop of sewage, it's still just sewage. Comparatively, yes, Kerry looked better. That's why I was very, very careful to scrutinize him and for me he didn't pass muster. I didn't believe he'd keep the promises he made.

Not that it matters; Fairfax county returned something like 90% on Kerry, so whatever I ended up deciding was either at the crest of the wave or beneath it. :)
