I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Donald Trump is getting rid of Medicaid entirely, this means you will need the $14,000 a year for Health Insurance and the $25,000 for bills you still get to give birth. Or you will have to do it at home like it is 1825. This is in the richest country in the world.

Been in a big Jerry Garcia Band mood these days. The world is a mess, but listening to Jerry put his soul into all he's got makes me think about nothing but good times. Here's JGB playing After Midnight. (Clapton could never. [JJ Cale most definitely could.]) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF0E...
