WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

A Must-Read from Ezra Klein

Ezra Klein's post on "Wonkblog" at The Washington Post today is a must-read.  Here Mr. Klein says what I attempted to express about Mr. Romney saying, "I didn't inherit anything."  And Klein gives it to us in lean, straightforward prose. Beautifully presented.   He delves into privilege and personal responsibility, opening a clean window so we can see the everyday realities faced by the poor in this Country.  We something of the enormous energy it takes to be responsible while in a David-Goliath struggle with poverty—a struggle too often unlikely to end in David's favor.

 Kudos, Ezra Klein, for every word in  "What Romney Doesn't Understand About Personal Responsibility."  You nailed it.

 Click the link and have yourself an illuminating read.  Then share it.
