Hardest thing about reducing political intake is how much I like reading Kevin D. Williamson and Nick Catoggio. Example:
There are two things you need to know about Minnesota politics. One is that two-thirds of the state’s population lives in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. The second is that Minneapolis does have two-party politics, but the two parties are factions within the DFL: the progressives and the ultra-progressives. (It’s like the inverse of statewide politics in Texas, where Republicans offer voters a choice between crazy right-wingers and rabid, carpet-chewing, monster-raving-loony right-wingers, and then wonder why all the cities are Democratic.)
