Tim Walz



If elected, Harris’ VP choice could usher in the country’s first female Native American state governor—Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan.

Tim Walz is a 60 year old white guy, governor of Minnesota. Grew up in Nebraska, married a Minnesota woman. Got a DUI in 1995, and claims to be sober since then. Nice reaction, that's what you're supposed to do if you're not an addict, and if you're an addict. He was a teacher. He coached his high school football team to a state championship in Nebraska. They moved to Mankato Minnesota where his wife is from. He was in the military and went to Congress. Then he became a governor. He's for legalization of pot. He's for gun freedom. Can't all be perfect, but maybe it will cool down those who are gun nuts. 

Just read he taught a year in China, and his children were born through IVF.

I think we need a rigorously and aggressively sane person in government. We've had too much weirdness.

Now that the ticket is locked in, there's no excuse to vote ideology over America. Republicans have nothing to offer but a felon and a couch fucking flip flopper, who instead of seeing pride in his heritage, judges them. 

I can imagine people are unwilling to admit they've been duped beyond belief, and that Russian troll farms are flooding social media with divisive hooey. Russian interference of the Trump v Clinton election makes Trump's presidency illegitimate. Every accusation from the Republicans is an admission of guilt. Trump knows he wasn't a legitimate president. We found out Don-old got 10 million from Egypt, in violation of election laws. 

If republicans had any integrity, anyone who complained about Biden's age, would have to now maintain that standard for Don-old.

People are tired of business as usual in DC. You mean like having real leaders who are slightly boring, lead the country. They're not lurid click bait type leaders, they're real and substantial. 

There's not enough time in the day to prosecute Orangina for everything he's done. To keep considering him for president is to not believe in democracy, and not believe in America. And what's we're watching is him spin out, his blarney on a social media that nobody goes to. Corrupt Musk let him back on Twitter, but I've blocked him so I only see stuff where people post a photo of his tweets, because if they just retweet him, he's blocked. I'm done thinking about him.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

movie versus book

I'm watching the movie a second time, and I'm halfway through the book. Among the movie's differences from the book. Sortilege starts off narrating. The movie doesn't have the school bell for the phone either, just a regular ring. It's really weird the way Doc shouts when he sees the photo of Amethyst as a baby. I guess it's to dramatize the negative impact of being pregnant and using, but the child we see looks pretty healthy. The child doesn't huff out because they're boring like she did in the book.  Superficially The Big Lebowski and Inherent Vice are similar but it's a completely different style of narrative. The Coen brothers are amazing, they have a very witty movie that I have loved for a long time. Pynchon is a whole other realm of fiction, and this conversion is fairly faithful, taking out the best lines and making it more compact. The audio book is 15 hours, the movie is 2 hours. Anyway, I like the different movies for different reasons. T...

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...
