Woke up this morning: ‘I beat cancer (sort of) for this?’ I said. ‘No,‘ said the Minions, ‘you beat it (sort of) for us! Now get out there & dance on Mortality’s face!’ OK, but I’m not quite feeling it yet.

OK, Biden should step aside. But I still don’t see anyone else willing to step up. Where are the younger, more energetic Democrats willing to face off against MAGA? ’The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity…’

Does anyone else get echoes of McCarthyism in Trumpism? The baseless accusations of conspiracy, the fear-mongering. This time, instead of the Red Menace of ‘Commies’, it’s immigrants from foreign prisons & insane asylums—& it still isn’t true

My apologies to those who follow me: I will try harder to be more interesting, or something. I’ve just been suffering from severe political anxiety. In 70-mumble yrs, I’ve seen all kinds of stuff. But the last time I was this scared was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
