Ok, not their traditional stem-cells are bad and Roy-Blunt-is-worth-electing values, but the KY3 blog's Ozark Values series profiling individuals and their political beliefs has been a good read. (Normally I wouldn't post this kind of thought, but things have quiet here on MoPo and I'm trying to push that stupid London Calling song off the front page.)

Today's installment had Republican graduate student Matt Lyons saying some things I can really agree with:

"I'm disappointed with the Governor's performance," he says.

And Lyons calls his State Representative, Charlie Denison (#135), almost useless. "Basically we're the only legislative district without a state representative," he says.

Of course, I wouldn't agree that he's in the ONLY district without a state representative, but Charlie certainly one of the more useless seat warmers.

The whole series has been an insight into minds I could never understand. Some people have no base for their beliefs and others have given it some thought.

I could go without some of the commentary such as this from the Lyons profile:

The thing about Lyons is that he's got strong conservative convictions, without being a partisan. In today's hyper-polarized world, courage like that isn't so easy to find.

It doesn't take courage not to be hyper-polarized when you're not running for office. No body thinks they are highly partisan. It's something that happens to a person during the election process when they're forced separate themselves for their opponent. Or it occurs after being in Washington or Jefferson City and realizing all that is at play.

So keep the profiles coming, Catenese, but leave the editorializing to someone else.
