Kennedy Center Honors is really gonna be something this year

RFK really missed the simplest lesson of LBJ’s career, try not to get any kids killed if your name rhymes with “how many kids did you kill today”

Call me crazy but I just called Bill Cassidy’s office. With rare exception he has proven a coward but everyone around him knows he hates Trump and RFK and he does believe in the sound science of vaccines. And he’s chair of Senate HELP. DC office number (202) 224-5824

You know things are getting weird when you are getting your hope from the Jefferson Parish Council

I regret that I had but one Washington Post subscription to cancel for my country

I’m headed to Stonewall to cover a protest against the Trump administration erasing trans and queer people from the Stonewall National Monument website last night. See below from ACT UP, and AP coverage of the website purge. www.huffpost.com/entry/stonew...

Time for the stragglers to turn out their lights

Starting to understand why my typing teacher had me doing “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country” over and over

Hard to say but I have my pick for the day’s most shameful hypocrite

At the Deathbed, by Edvard Munch, 1895

Rest in peace to Tom Robbins who among other things wrote about New Orleans very well

“When you’re a priest, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

It’s all fun and games until they show up expecting the Quarter to look like this

Jon Batiste was wonderful but “land of the free” and “home of the brave” are both up for grabs

On second thought maybe I won’t check the news before going to bed

How did I never know this

I saw an actual wolf in my front yard today being a perfect metaphor
