Hope he's in prison if he's guilty of sexual assault. Not sure how that would make his statement about stories untrue, though.

The great thing about libraries is that they're big enough to fit the whole world inside...but small enough to fit inside your town!

Where is the Party?: time for Democratic leaders to β€˜fight with both hands’ or β€˜step aside’ Even in easy times, this democracy needs care. And right now it is in dire need of defense. And it needs defenders who are willing to do whatever it takes.Β Americans are begging for more. Begging for Democrats to get off the mat and back into the fight. If political leaders in this country are not prepared to fight with both hands, and are not prepared to make β€œgood trouble”, then perhaps they should step aside and make space for those who will.

I confess: English teachers are partly responsible. It seems half the country does not get parody and political satire.
