I like travel, walking with my dog, watching sports, old TV shows.
No patience with today's Republicans.
A challenge for Carnie Wilson.

All it took to be criticized for "celebrating Kirk's murder" was to quote what he said.

Looking forward to the president ordering flags to be flown at half mast.

That this hasn't been a constant topic on MSM demonstrates how poorly they serve the public. This dwarfs the death toll in Gaza.

This meme with 600,000 dead is at least 2 months old.

Projections are perhaps 14 million deaths by 2030.

The article includes "An immigration judge ruled in 2019 that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, could not be deported to El Salvador because he faced danger from a gang that targeted his family." Judge couldn't grant asylum because of time limit.

That should be repeated in every mention of him.

...and then I'm going to get smashed and pass out by the toilet.

No, by the bar. I got class.

I tweeted about it at the time. I forget the other things I included, but it might have been the first time you read a tweet of mine on the air.

BTW, you look especially young and lovely today, Miss Miller.

Years ago on a cross country flight I listened to the audio version of your hilarious best selling* book "Sexy Liberal! Of Me I Sing". It was also incredibly politically incisive**. An actual screaming baby was in the row ahead.

*No idea, just to get a like

Members of Congress have Obamacare. It is partially subsidized by the government, just as most large corporations subsidize insurance for their employees.

GOP plan continues to be:
1) Don't get sick
2) If you do get sick, die quickly

Do Members of Congress Get Free Health Care?
According to memes, Congressional members and staffers are offered free, no-strings-attached health care, but there's more to the story.

Good morning. I'm sorry you lost your friend and co-worker to that horrible disease. I was an early listener in Columbus, so got to enjoy Jim for many years.

I guess one of my memories was Jim showing up late so often. Seems that when you're a star, they let you do it.

I'm old enough that there was no vaccine for measles or mumps, which everyone just expected to contract. Mumps were so painful I can still remember it.

Fortunately the polio vaccine was available by the time I started school.

Much of this is because of Pelosi's leadership in the House.

She's one of the most successful Speakers in history.

Instead of using a photo of #Felon47 for this post, I would have used the opportunity to treat readers with a photo of Jeff Kent who was elected to the HoF. I used to admire him from the stands.

Thanks. Pertinent info.

I'd guess part of the 20% was because of inflation, which Republicans did a good job of blaming Democrats.

Democrats did a bad job of countering that. Their consistent message should have been "post-covid inflation was global, and the U.S. had the lowest of major countries"

Thanks. Odds are I won't be here in 2042.

It's beautiful here tonight.

Been there. Done that.

I remember someone in the office predicting the price of gas was going to be over a dollar - it had always been much lower. And then interest rates over 10%.

He should have used his platform to talk about the comprehensive immigration bill that Dems had that addressed much more than the border, which Republicans killed at Trump's direction.
