My wife has gotten a clean bill of health after having had Gall Bladder Surgery, nearly 2 weeks ago.

This morning, I received an unexpected surprise by seeing someone whom I had not seen in over 25 years. We had a brief reunion and reminisced about her family.

Other good news, that I was expecting, but it became official today. For the second time this Summer, I have successfully knocked off a state legislative candidate off a ballot line. He needed 1,500 signatures; he filed 1,704 signatures; I objected to 722 signatures, of which 634 signatures were sustained by the State Board of Elections, leaving him with 1,070 signatures. This is the third time I have taken off a state legislative candidate in six years.

All this good news is bittersweet, as tomorrow is ATWT's last day.

      This will drag into the primaries. His NY trial isn't until March of next year. I suspect the same will be true for his federal indictments and whatever Georgia hits him with.

      I'm kind of sorry that it happened now for Trump. I hoped it would drag on well into the primaries so that he'd tear all of them apart.  Now, there's too much recovery time for them.  And I still hold to what I've always said - if we ever have a female as President, it will be Republican.   A huge % of women do not really like strong women.  They like stupid subservient ones.  Like Palin.  Like Haley.

      agreed that the writing for craig was atrocious in the final years. funny thing, though,  about hunt block is that i really like him as ben warren on gl, when he did play the emotional layers. so i wonder if something else was going on. maybe what he was playing was closer to the vision chris goutman had for the character. after scott bryce was fired in 2008, he gave an interview to michael logan and described his relationship with goutman as “odd, and disconnected,” then talked about how dark the show had become and suggested that maybe he “didn’t fit into that vision.”

      Nothing in our elections will ever be a breeze. The truth is they never have been. It's just that too many people took progress for granted and threw it away because Bernie told them that their student loans were more important than our civil rights and bodily autonomy. This was a damn fine week. Chris Licht fired, Trump indicted, Pat Robertson and James Watt both dead. (I don't know how many people here remember James Watt but he was a monster.) and SCOTUS actually protected voting rights for once. The election is 18 months away. It's counterproductive to worry about it now. People love to point out Biden's age but then turn around and act like Hamhock is some kind of supervillain. Trump is dying right in front of us but Joe Biden tripped on a sandbag. This is a marathon not a sprint. Let people celebrate the good.
