Pounds Down in Georgetown

Yglesias: That said, when thinking about this it’s important to recall that conservative administration [sic] generally don’t want the government to be administered effectively.

I've always wondered how it was that when Ronald Reagan stands up and says "government is the problem," that's supposed to be a reason to pick him to run the government.  Imagine someone saying "the problem with this company is that all we're trying to do is make profit" and getting hired to be CEO. Doesn't make any sense.
