I’m almost too depressed to write anything today. The Georgia Bulldogs came within five yards on the final play of the game of winning college football’s national championship (the game against Notre Dame being a mere formality for the winner of the Southeastern Conference), but fell 32-28 to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

But if the Continental Army could survive a bitter winter at Valley Forge, then surely I can summon the intestinal fortitude to write a blog post while sitting in a warm hotel room (yes, perhaps I’m being a tad bit melodramatic).

So here comes the second edition of “Question of the Week.” Last weekend, I responded to a query about whether I hated Republicans.

The most interesting question this week comes from a German reader, who asks “Are there any issues where you have changed your mind since coming to Washington?”
