“No,” said Mr. Dooley, “they’ve got to print what’s diff’rent. Whiniver they begin to put headlines on happiness, contint, varchoo, an’ charity, I’ll know things is goin’ as wrong with this counthry as I think they ar-re ivry naytional campaign.”

Frum presents my ideas very clearly and cogently. He says it better than I could. i especially appreciate what he says about this approach allowing Democratic candidates to focus on important issues rather than getting entangled with the minutiae of Trump wrongdoing.
Saw it. I think one point to colonoscopies is that they let your see and remove polyps while they are still benign. But I'm not clear how important that really is.
That's what I figure too. I raised the question of how long colonoscopies should continue with my old oncologist. Reasonably enough, he said it depended on the condition of the individual colon; with some people it can become risky sooner, with others later. I gathered that it wasn't uncommon to continue them until age 80, or even past then.
Ohio is propping up nuclear plants and dismissing wind and solar power because they believe that will help trump get re-elected. I'm always surprised that a state with 50 universities, colleges and tech schools has so many BLASTED IDIOTS in it! Part of the problem is that pallid worm Mike DeWine who is all-in for trump and just as repressive as any Republican who ever rolled down the pike. Oh, and *we* get to pay extra on our energy bills to fund this joke. I really, really, really hate Republicans.
I don't know what Ohio is doing, but propping up nuclear plants is hardly incompatible with encouraging wind and solar power. And I don't see what either has to do with re-electing Trump.
The National Popular Vote Compact isn't even being mentioned in Illinois. I wouldn't know about it if I didn't see it mentioned here. I guess Illinois currently has too many other things on its agenda -- a graduated income tax, recreational marijuana, expanded abortion rights, etc.
President Trump said that he planned to impose a 5% tariff on all imported goods from Mexico beginning June 10, a tax that he said would “gradually increase” until Mexico stopped the flow of undocumented immigrants across the border, the New York Times reports.
Well, howzabout Mexico puts an import tax on corn from the United States and gradually increases it until the flood of firearms from the US into Mexico is halted?
I'm up to my neck in preparations and will be nearly over my head this weekend with two young grands here the whole time. We'll have 6 year old Grandson and 3 year old Granddaughter, for two overnights, with parents out of state. Send me energy vibes!! LOL!

ReplyDeleteIt's bad enough what has become of the Democratic Party, but the decay of the Republican Party is in another class altogether. IMO.

DeleteThey're Republicans, Bill. You can't expect coherent thought from them.
