He s really, really, good and smart.

Don't watch much cable "news" now. Get too upset as a former American History teacher..

But do check into Latest and General DU, other headlines and summaries on the net etc. I am now addicted to Netflix, Amazon, and Acorn to escape regular shows, whether news or programs with political ads.

I know I am a Dem. I do NOT need any ads to reinforce or otherwise.

However, thanks for the Pierce insight I would have missed due to my current viewing habit"
