   Deep disappointment. I am somehow starting to feel that perhaps more strenuous rigor needs to be enforced in our voting laws. A higher age, perhaps. Military or government service. If you miss a year voting you must recertify your understanding of your voting obligation before you are allowed to be considered a citizen with full voting privileges, otherwise you are simply a taxed legal resident with no representation.

   I don’t think that it’s the fireplace. It’s about half the height of the tree and nearly touches the decorations hanging down from the ceiling. For some reason Baldo is immensely tall today. If he stands up he’s going through the roof.

   It means you’ve never read “The Drunken Boat” by Arthur Rimbaud. One of the weirdest poems ever translated into English from French. And there have been some doozies.

   He didn’t. But Godfrey isn’t wrong. Too many people suppressed their own vote.

   It’s been my experience that using, “Someone might misbehave” as a reason to not do something is a bad reason to say no.

   Let me back up and try again.

   So far Trump is playing his own game and the Democrats are letting him not only make up the rules but change them as he needs. The dude is a showman, and people want a show. It is time for the Democrats to figure that out.

   It doesn’t have to be Bread and Circuses, but they need to do something to regain the momentum that they lost in November when Trump stole their mojo.

   For most movies nowadays I have what I call the Highlander Rule. “There should be only one!” If they make a sequel, or do a remake, there had better be something clever going on and not just milking the rights you bought to the franchise.

    Agreed. One of the things that helps me appreciate different styles of music is listening to them in another language. I used to be a linguist and long ago learned how much music helps you pick up a language and understand the culture. Anyway, when you’re not so focused on the words you can pick up the nuances better. At least it works that way for me. Russian rap, with balalaikas, can be pretty awesome, that kind of thing.
