Christmas time in NYC.
My dad, Rodney Waters, and I at Christmas time. Another person I really miss at this time of year. I didn't really get how intelligent he was until we were playing Scrabble once and he was coming up with these legitimate words that NOBODY knows! He was curious about everything.

The magat cult never left their middle school emotions behind in middle school.
This over-used, tired out strategy isn't just childish though -- it's stupid and it's always some glaringly, obviously desperate lie.
It is SO not working for them anymore.

Absolute polar opposites. Almost a shame to put a pic of the cowardly Orange Humiliation next to one of a hero of Mark Kelly's caliber.

Could there be a name that fits an ignorant, hyper-bigoted cracker better than "Markwayne"?

Just watched the Jimmy Kimmel/Mark Kelly interview again. The tears stung my eyes. Raw courage makes me emotional. It humbles me.
I think that every parent on earth should watch that interview, or ANY Volodymy Zelensky interview, with their kids and say about all three of these men:
Be. Like Them.

I miss this.
I'll never forget Nancy's delightful giggle as her introduction began with "His Excelleny." I'm firmly convinced it wasn't just non-familiarity with the term that caused the laugh. Watch it again. She's just happy. And excited that he's there.
And she knows that he is indeed excellent.

All good but "Incite a kids' table uprising" is the best. That's actually the one you wouldn't want but it's still funny. So is the last one.
Nobody I encounter seems to want to "talk about politics" but it's all I ever want to talk about. Some even seem uncomfortable if I tell them to be safe. Why?

Perfect. Kegbreath IS a coward. And it makes me happy that Ruben used the word "defense" instead of "war." Why on earth would I prefer some sloppy drunk who can only fantasize about himself as a war-mongering hero in his sad, cowardly head instead of someone who simply cares about defending me?!

One thing that just kills me is that Michael didn't even have to BE at the capitol that day. He just took it upon himself to help. These good men deserved So. Much. Better.
