The best thing is that no one in Minnesota can vote for Lander. He just went there because it's the right thing to do.

I was very vaguely aware of the idea that "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wizard of Oz" are weirdly synced. But I did not know until just now that one of my long-time favorite reporters is intimately connected.

news you can use. I am in the “there should be more extremely well-behaved dogs everywhere who are friendly to me personally” camp
“Dentists who participated in the study described calmer patients, smoother procedures, and a friendlier office atmosphere. Compared with costly pharmacologic sedation, a therapy dog was “a remarkably cost-effective adjunct,” the authors concluded”
Dogs might be the secret to getting some anxious patients in the dentist’s chair
Been avoiding the dentist? Would knowing a dog is waiting for you make a difference?

Do not let your public servants become your masters. Make sure they know their place.
One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official
