In one of his last interviews Carl Sagan told me that he thought the odds for other intelligent life--despite the vastness of the universe--was low or nil.

Churchill's funeral was on a Saturday, 61-years ago today. Skipped my usual TV cartoons that morning and watched the proceedings for hours. And then it was off to youthful adventures and misdeeds and the years passed by and somehow our paths crossed again 50-years later. Life is funny that way.

Vance likely wishes he could. After couches, anything goes.

They're "trained" for exactly 47 days. You know why it's that number of days of course.

DOJ filing criminal charges against Fed Chair Powell? Powell's rebuke of Trump was Powell's Joe Walsh moment. . . , when, 70-years ago Walsh asked Senator Joe McCarthy, "Have you no sense of decency, sir?" Trump does not. Big mistake on Trump's part. Big mistake.

Well, that's not just a word salad, it's a fking buffet.

Your logic is lacking; a crime was committed in the daycare scandal. The more you pooh-pooh it, the more the MAGAs will turn it against you, even as they commit greater crimes everyday. Grow up, and smell the rot.

Agreed, but the "learing" center scandal WAS and IS a huge scandal. You're feeding right into the MAGA maw with your downplaying if it.

The daycare "scandal" was a whopper of a scandal. Face up to it. Fiscal incompetence, failed government oversight. A scam. But Trump is using it to tar all Somalis, all of "the other". If it wasn't real he'd make one up, like, "they're eating your cats and dogs".

Christmas sunset tonight in the Blue Ridge, 4:54pm. Sun left with one final burst of glory. Happy 2026 all (one hopes).
