Only 20% in 2012 thought Obama won 1st debate Worse than Joe who got 30% per CNN But you don't run a democracy by polls. Just a snapshot of selected sample by set of demographics- in a moment of time. You don't run a national campaign by public polling solely either. Get put of the way & WIN

in their heyday, the big three networks employed journalists who, if not always the equal of print, were legitimately talented, and often ex-war correspondents. now it's the exception. an epic failure of talent development

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

before i left Twitter, i "capped" my followers at 222 as a joke; there was no chance i'd gain many more without, y'know, trying. my point is, i'm at 322 here now, and most of those are real people? and i've only blocked a few of them? probably? anyway, thanks for the AD[H]D!
