My first exposure to her was when my brother played the St Anne's concert CD for me. So damn good. (I knew about Broken English and that she hung with the Velvet Underground, but that was about it.)

So what is the word for that weird smell/taste/feeling in the head when you have a cold or sinus infection or whatever this is that I've got? I just call it sick-head but does it have an actual name?

He need to be impeached again. BUT! NOT without first quietly polling the Senate to see if there is support for conviction. Because immpeachment is impotent without conviction.
The problem with the first and second times was that the House leaders who pushed them knew there would be no conviction.

Just had a leftist at the Facey place -- who was wailing on and on about AIPAC and Graham Platner's step-brother -- tell me that conflating Zionism amd Judaism is anti-Semitic.
Uh, whut? So all those ZionistJews are anti-Semitic because it's part of their identity? How ... what ... why ...?

And, of course, zero evidence of any proof of him "working for" those people.
He didn't. He just peddled his influence with anyone who would let him.

Gov. Mills is easily the strongest option in what’s 1 of the oldest states in the U.S.. Especially w/ Wood now running for Golden’s seat. 🤷♂️

Is there not one progressive in the Maine legislature that wants to give it a go? There must be better than this out there.
He also failed to file the personal financial disclosure that was due in September because it’s due within 30 days of launch. He’s now 8 weeks delinquent.
May wanna read the whole article for how bad it looks with full context.

This is going to be very nuanced and very divisive. I hope you will do me the courtesy of reading the whole thing and digesting it before commenting.
