A college friend of mine got a job as a DJ back then. Thanksgiving day, he played the long version of that. Soon as it was over he played it again. When it was done, his manager stepped through the door, looked him over, and said, Kid? That was cool. And kid? If you ever do that again you’re fired.
Veterans Day should be merged with Election Day, putting voting on a holiday so that more people can participate without taking a financial hit for it. Defending democracy together.
I have a friend who spent 16 days in a coma from a molar pregnancy: one that stopped developing into a baby and started growing wildly, randomly, and was rapidly turning into cancer. It was never going to be a baby, but already in the South a woman with a molar pregnancy has been refused a D&C. My friend spent a year recovering from the brain damage and is lucky to be alive. It’s not all about abortions, and even if it were, your right to force a woman to give birth should coincide with her right to force you to donate your kidney and pay for life for her anti-rejection drugs. It’s only fair.
One candidate insults and denigrates and hates, the other is calm, cool, and collected and when someone interrupted her rally on the Mall in DC and others tried to shout them down, she told them, No, this is democracy! Democracy is messy. Making your voice heard is part of the best of America!
We had a primary election that came down to a precise 50/50 split. One guy sued to try to stop the other from funding a recount (it’s not automatic when it’s that close—although this might get that changed.) They did the recount. Mr. Lawsuit pulled ahead by five votes. I expect he’ll lose tomorrow, though.
