Quote Of The Day

How pleasant to lie motionless on the sofa and to know that one is alone in the room. Real happiness is impossible without solitude. The fallen angel betrayed God probably because he longed for solitude,” ~ Anton Chekhov, from Complete Works of Anton Chekhov; “Ward No. 6,”

An Open Letter to Elizabeth and Bernie

Knock it off.

Knock off this petty bickering because all you’re doing is making it easier for Trump to win reelection.

Elizabeth? I’m not sure I believe you when you say Bernie Sanders told you in 2018 that a woman could never be president, because if he had, and with your love for social media, and knowing the two of you would be running for president this year, you would have spoken out then. But to sit on it for two years and then drop it this week smacks of desperation; it smacks of infighting; it smacks of not focusing on what’s important and that’s getting this rapist, drug-addicted, adulterer, liar, thief, con artist, traitor out of office.

So, again, tell me what you’re going to do if you’re elected, and stop this ridiculous squabbling with the other candidates. That accomplishes nothing. Oh, and that bit where you wouldn’t shake Bernie’s hand was childish and unnecessary and totally Trump.

Knock it off.

Now, Bernie. You need to get your supporters in line, because if they are, with your blessing or not, personally going after Elizabeth Warren, then that’s on you. They’re your volunteers; tell them to knock it off.

I don’t know who will get the nomination but if it’s not you, and you don’t step up and support whomever gets the nod, and you don’t demand that your supporters rally around the nominee, then we will all know that you are just a desperate old man who wants to be president and when he can’t he pouts.

Knock it off.

I need y’all to run for office, run for president, not run against your fellow Democrats. This country cannot stand, literally can not stand, another four years of this.

Quote of the Day

A person of good intelligence and sensitivity cannot exist in this society very long without having some anger about the inequality—and it’s not just a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, liberal kind of a thing—it is just a normal human reaction to a nonsensical set of values where we have cinnamon flavored dental floss and there are people sleeping in the street.” ~ George Carlin

Quote of the Day

There are many parts of my youth that I’m not proud of… there were loose threads… untidy parts of me that I would like to remove. But when I pulled on one of those threads… it unraveled the tapestry of my life.” ~ Jean-Luc Picard in STTNG: Tapestry
