The change has come, she's under my thumb.

No. I like to read his stuff because he's clever. But on issues that matter to people, he can be maddening, because he can seem oblivious to the aspects that matter because he's preoccupied with sounding clever. As I suggested, this doesn't happen when he writes about stem-cell research, no doubt because the issues hit home with him (he has Parkinson's).

Right or wrong in politics is entirely, well, partisan.
I don't even know what this means, but it sounds stupid. Does anyone but a bunch of Cubans in south Florida think that our Cuban policy is the best course for us and for Cuba? No, and in my experience just about every non-Cuban Republican agrees. But because this same group of Cubans votes on this one issue and because they live in a swing state with a bunch of electoral votes, they get to run our Cuban policy.
