Dick Cheney was a dangerous fool. He not only wanted to exploit the trauma of 9/11 to turn America into the kind of country that builds a network of gulags, tortures random unfortunates, and embarks on misdirected wars, he got the whole power structure of the republic to go along with him.

Woke up to news that a church in my town was vandalized with a swastika.

Please get out and vote in your state and local elections today.

The presidential elections aren’t the only ones that matter.

It's funny that we know that the best way to learn *anything* is to do it regularly and consistently in small frequent chunks throughout the day and week, *not* cramming marathons, with plenty of sleep.

And then every school is the exact opposite of that.

I'll be skipping any obits that begin "Whatever you think of what he did as Vice President..." It's what you do when you think nobody can stop you that counts.

I never celebrate death. But I do notice when a certain weight is lifted, a cool breeze, a prince of darkness departed, a little more light in the world...

This week I received four items through interlibrary loan and document delivery, and I gotta say, that service suite continues to be a shining example of society functioning as it should. Eduroam is another.

Thank your librarians working on ILL in the background. They do saintly work.

So the pride I feel w/Rep. J. Crockett I feel the exact opposite w/ted cruz. I don't have room to list the reasons why, but he does a great job for me - just see his own words below.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.
Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:

"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."
