I do, too. I try not to miss her show.

I’m really impressed by her work.

March 4, 2020

Yep!

They’re saving our country.

Shit - call HIM the "Comeback Kid!"

I’ve never seen a Lazarus effect like this (she said, having started watching politics sine the Student Coalition for Humphrey/Muskie)!

Yep!!!

That's a totally fair statement.

One thing I’ve heard pundits say about African/American voters: they’re practical. That’s how I try to be whenever I vote.

Head-over-heart. Seems to me that’s the only voting strategy that makes sense. I don’t fall in love with politicians. That’s not what they’re for.

It's awfully hard to let go of something like that.

We recently sold the old family home that I grew up in, and kept, for more than half a century.

I totally get how you feel. But the kids had grown up and moved out and the elders passed on and it was too much for us to deal with, in more ways than one.

“It’s just a house.” Yeah, I hear that. And that’s true in one respect. But it was also a HOME. With all that the word “home” means.

I so know how you feel, Coventina. I sympathize and empathize. Give it time and be gentle with yourself about it. And don’t put a deadline on it, by which you presumably would expect yourself to have moved on. Go easy on yourself. Little by little, you’ll eventually prevail.

I can't help wondering how the guest seated closest to him

avoided the spittle shower that inevitably spewed out of his mouth while he yelled and bellowed and hyperventilated. And interrupted and talked over them. And fumfered his words.

SHEESH he blew so many pronunciations that my husband and I would start the “what number of martinis did he have at lunch this time?”

“What? Did he just come back from a two-martini lunch?”

“Three, ya think?”

“Man, that must have been a FIVE-martini lunch. If he were stumbling over trash cans he’d be in traction by now...” “Yeah. And he never did get the pronunciation right.”

About time somebody did.

Donna Brazile is usually such a damn low-energy milquetoast, I’m frankly surprised. Maybe she switched AWAY from decaf for a change.

First time I’ve heard her actually raise her voice and get riled up!

Now that's class.

Gracious, kind, loving, and classy.

The kind of First Lady we’ve been needing!

ROFL!!!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
