And, I would absolutely love it if Janeane Garafolo would come back to SNL, even briefly!

with every imaginable group fighting for its own interests, has been overdone. We need to come together as one to fight fascism, Christian reconstructionism, kleptocracy and all the rest of the evils threatening from the right.

"identity politics...has been overdone"

A most creative, though wholly unsupported, premise. Indeed, quite the allegation.

was not what I had in mind, Bettyellen, when I said we must work together.

Growing extremism, internal hostility, and certainly irresponsible indulgence of stupid, counterproductive tactics on our side will play into the hands of the right. What is ugly and repellent on the right is just as repellent when viewed from their directlion.

We need to be discliplined, decent, honest, and smart.

agree with one is a major characteristic of extremists on both the left and the right. And political scientists say millions on both sides are becoming more extreme.

This is an existential threat to our nation, which depends on reasonable, cooperative people being able to come together in the center to agree on how to run our country.

That would be brilliant. As much as Trump and Spicer take the most obvious of baits, it would be delicious to watch the entire administration fight week after week against a mere comedy sketch!
