Re: A more independent government
I mentioned this idea when responding to Themis on how we could bring to pass an amicable divorce between conservative and liberal in this country and perhaps avoid a bloody and expensive attempt at revolution. We're not geographically separated as we were during the first Civil War. But we are sep...

I found the podcast to be very well done, an...

Re: Your Covid and Flu Season Crash Course
Got my flu shot for this year and pneumonia last year. Don't relax on the COVID-19 basics: hand washing, surface sterilizing, social distancing, masks, avoid crowds.

McConnell refuses to take it up (and, say, pass amendments that would make the bill acceptable to the Senate, like we all learned on School House Rock.) So Pelosi and Mnuchin have been n...

Re: President and FLOTUS Test Positive for Covid-19
And the White House has picked masks as the hill to die on -- maybe literally. Still refusing to adopt a mandatory mask rule.
