'Anger' does not describe my emotions these days. Instead it is a morph of my old punk furor, throwing shoulders in the pit, and the abject hopelessness that is 2025.

I was for this as a juvenile delinquent in the seventies hopping the fences and stealing flags in the dark of night. What's the statute of limitations for a greens flag?

AOC has the package. Smart. Pelosi tutored her on to some of the congressional jiujitsu and gave her a sense of how long a game this is. I hope DC doesn't eat AOC's soul.

Geez, what a tiny little tent y'all want to make. He is a warrior. He is a liberal. He can be more complex than the headlines.
He is not a follower. He is a leader.

Now imagine 92 million people living in that area. Garden City. Ogallala. Cody. Those are the individuals, with jobs and grandparents, kids and complications, those are the individuals we just declared war on.

I had a string of business trips (in coach) to Asia, and they all opened my eyes and let me see the world as both a bigger and a smaller place. The one trip around-the-world proved to me that the Earth is round and we need to love each other like the sisters and brothers we are.

Israel struck me as a profoundly racist country, convinced that Israeli Jews are better than any others because an imaginary god picked them, and especially better than their 20% Muslim population they piss on.

Singapore always strikes me as Asia-Lite for a westerner. The city and even the airport are pretty normal until you cross to the Asia-facing terminal and venture into mystery.

It's not privatized. These yahoos are competing against the world's greatest boondoggle at >$2B a pop. No one else is challenging Boeing Lockhead and the rest.
