A friend of mine who writes for the New York Times recently called me “cynical, but insightful.” I took it as a compliment, though I’d rather be known as trusting, loving, caring, and giving, of course. But cynicism is probably the best lens in which to view the announcement of the new U.S. Senator representing California. And maybe even all of national politics these days.
