My dad (born in 1930) was 62 before there was President younger than he was (Bill Clinton). I'll be at least 65 and maybe older before I see a President younger than me.

RIP Jesse Jackson. In 1988 I saw him speak at the NH Democratic state party convention. I'm sure it wasn't his best speech, but it was by far the best speech I've heard. The man had a gift.

Good to know that the Washington Post is still continuing its tradition of quality investigative journalism.

IMHO Duvall’s best line in Apocalypse Now isn’t β€œI love the smell of napalm in the morning” (though it is a great line) it’s when he wistfully says β€œSomeday this war’s going to end” and then walks off

RIP Robert Duvall. I marvel at how many classic movies he was in:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Bullitt
True Grit
M*A*S*H
The Godfather
The Conversation
The Godfather II
Network
Apocalypse Now
