They Can't Really be that Dumb

I've not written in a while -- laziness. But today's editorial in the Washington Post was either so dishonest or so stupid (or both) that I had to comment. The Post argues that because of the great transportation needs in NoVA, the GOP-lead General Assembly should have passed statewide tax increases.

Of course, any statewide tax increase results in Fairfax County residents sending dollars to Richmond in order to receive pennies back. Therefore, using the Post's logic, we would need to pay much more to improve our traffic mess with Kaine's approach than with the bill passed by the General Assembly.

How stupid are these people? Did anyone there ever taken a basic course in state and local government? Do these people ever read their own newspaper? Are they so liberal and committed to tax increases that facts are to be ignored? The money I save by not subscribing to the Post pays dividends daily.
