Seriously, I’d vote for potato over Pence (or, God help us if he is still there, Trump).

But, I would never vote for a person with zero government or specific policy experience in a primary. And while I’m sure Oprah and Hanks are bright, neither has the academic background, universal awareness background, or brute strength intellect I would want to see in the next President — especially one with little to no serious experience.

It's a long story, but I gave Oprah Winfrey a ride to court once in 1980 or so. She was, at that time, a local news personality, pretty low on the totem pole, here in Baltimore. She was born in 1954, so she was around 26.
At that time there was some litigation going on in Baltimore. Oprah was to be a witness. She would have to testify against a local radio station and personality. I picked her up in my boss's Buick station wagon to take her to court. She was reading a Bible and sat in the Courtroom reading the Bible for, I suppose, strength and inspiration.
It did not occur to me then how hard it would be for a news person to testify about another media personality. And, Oprah was only 26.
In the 40 years I've been a lawyer I have noted that many people just refuse to be involved in Court cases. They may see a car accident, but not want to testify and claim they remember nothing. They just don't want to be inconvenienced. That is the norm. Or, they are just frightened of testifying and repercussions they perceive will be there.
Now, after all of these years, I realize what guts and strength it took Oprah to testify in that case. She did not refuse to be involved.
She had some relevant information to impart to the jury and did not shy from telling the truth. She felt that was her duty.
Again, it didn't mean all that much at the time to me. Reflecting on it, however, makes me think that at least at that moment, she had courage, strength, intellectual ability, honesty and forthrightness as some of her qualities. She does not appear to have lost these qualities and those qualities are not altogether unimportant. And, that was at age 26. She was a bit frightened of what she was doing, but she did it because it was the right thing to do.

So far, it has not been a good week for El Presidente.
He said we are selling F-52s to Norway. (There is no such plane)
The shithole comment.
A stupid tweet about spies.
He promised to sign a bipartisan DACA bill, and then changed his mind.
He said that he has a good relationship with the head of N. Korea (?).
Today he goes to the doctor for a taxpayer paid medical exam. (He gets free medical care for the rest of his life now).
Depending on what the doctor tells him, McDonalds and Coca Cola stocks might take a hit.

Now we learn he wanted to fire Bobby. The great thing is Mueller knows all the answers already to the questions he is going to ask the habitual and compulsive liar.

Yes. There is no such thing as a “perjury trap”. He wouldn’t be able to tell Mueller about what he ate for breakfast without lying. And his lawyers know it.

I didn't watch the speech. I don't care for horror movies.

The Greenbrier used to be owned by CSX, the railroad people. I am not sure who owns it now. It's a nice place.
I was there once for a weekend. Played golf. Went to the bar. Sat down for a beer. Who came in and sat beside me? Sam Snead! I got my picture taken with Mr. Snead and I have it in my office.

It is really a wonderful resort, although I'm not such a Dorothy Draper fan. Her designs and motifs are a little over the top.

It's owned by Jim Justice, a local businessman who the natives feel singlehandedly saved the resort and a ton of local jobs. He is also the current governor of West Virginia.

The majority of those that voted for him unwittingly sold their souls on election day. It has taken some time, but now the GOP in both houses of congress have done the same.

Sadly, many people are unwilling to admit that they made a YUGE mistake, or they have been completely brainwashed by the antics of an unabashed charlatan.

As I have told countless people since 11/8/2016, America must really hate HRC.

The hypocrisy is staggering!

Goose stepping allowed?


I wonder what the cost of a parade like this would be. You have to gather the troops, fly in a bunch of tanks and missiles. You have to have a ton of security. You need to close down alot of local business and agencies. (Of course, the Trump hotel would be full). You need some infrastructure, like barriers, port-a-potties and such. Then, you have to clean up the mess afterwards, and probably repave some roads damaged by the weight of the tanks, missiles, trucks, etc.

What a bonehead idea. But, considering the source..........

irwin, you forgot to add the cost for the pumpkin head with a fox on his head renting a military uniform for himself ( if they make one that XXXL) and then buying all the fake metals he would award himself to the cost.

For a person who did everything possible to avoid serving, he sure wants to be a general one day. I’m thinking he has military PJ’s with feet in them.
