I sent this letter to the New York Times this morning:

I was struck by the juxtaposition of Anya Kamenetz's thoughtful column and Maureen Dowd's puerile nonsense on today's op-ed page.

Anya Kamenetz's makes a sensible proposal on empowering ready teenagers by lowering the age thresholds for voting, drinking, credit cards when they demonstrate maturity.

Maureen Dowd continues in her usual rut, going on again about Cheneyesque paranoia, Bill's legacy, Obambi, and tough dames.

Perhaps Ms. Dowd could take Ms. Kamenetz's maturity test.

We attended a Super Tuesday party last night. As a PCO, I know a fair bit about the local caucus process, but I was unable to give a good answer about who the super delegates are. What should I find in my email as soon as I got home, but a list of the Washington State super delegates.
