I'm happy for you both, Angie.

Difficult question, because the act of telling my truth has already been characterized as a "self-fulfilling prophecy"

Take the self-fulfilling nonsense out of there and it's simply how the facts look to me. Unless something changes radically we're headed for autocracy.

This is how it's done. Now if only the Democratic leadership would get the message.

Great to see you here. I'm just learning how this thing works and finding my way around.

Well I'll be damned. The last time I saw you was in the early 80s. You've had half a life since then. I'm 80, and retired.

Schumer is long past his sell-by date. Hogg's right. We need need leadership.

The man lives and dies by ratings. I wonder if yesterday's failure made it through his bubble.

I'm waiting for McCartney to post his eulogy.

The bankers have also bought enough of the Democratic Party away from Labor, that the Democrats are no longer able to tell the truth about the class war. The threat of losing donations from finance has neutered them.

Nobody listened to Senator Sanders, and now we're going to pay for it. Bigtime.

Finally, some fucking pushback. She got confirmed, but not by anybody I voted for.

It's going to be interesting to see which big name entertainers are so hungry that they'll accept an award from him. He's already trashed the Medal of Freedom by giving one to Limbaugh.

Stoller is what Lenin used to call a "useful idiot".

Boy, that's a hard call. Gaetz can't help himself. He's driven and damaged. I'm saying that the enablers are worse.

I can't even find a goddam styptic pencil at the drug store. I know they still make them, but no one stocks them.

Listening to your remembrance of Steve at the memorial last weekend, my wife said, "I can see why Steve fell in love with him." I could, too.

Best wishes.

Just what I need more social media. I made room for it by dumping that one with the musky odor about it.
