Is it safe to come out and play? Or has everything been fixed already, with nothing to gripe about? World peace and hunger; health care? Have lobbyists been run-out of town? Has there been substantive banking reform?

I do plan on opining on Tuesday’s historic election — at times even against my better judgment, and also without the wife’s explicit approval — but I feel it appropriate to allow the (potentially irrational) elation to subside first.

Politicians have a way to break your heart, either suddenly or through a drawn-out process, and Barack Obama will most likely prove to do the same. Washington is a beast. It can be tamed; it will never be mastered.

Obama has climbed a mountain, but the mountain is actually a volcano.
