Did you notice?
All of us here at Dakota are so impressed by what appears to be a new strategy developed by the Democratic women leading Congress. It is unique in its civility, warmth, humor, soothing tones and very firm limits -- a very pretty package. Their tone falls short of patronizing, but, by contrast, makes the Republican huffy puffers look like the full blown lunatics that they are. We find it most reassuring.
Wanna see the movies?
Last week Barbara Boxer calmed down Senator Inhofe at Al Gore's testimony on global warming, and today Nancy Pelosi did the same to the petulant President whose brittle narcissism was punctured by Congress's insistence on a deadline for withdrawal from Iraq.
They're flooding the political arena with oxytocin as an antedote to toxic testosterone levels.

Addendum: This is my new Chinese refrigerator magnet to remind me to follow the classy new strategy.
