Let me see, last 100 years:
FDR/Truman: 20
Kennedy/Johnson: 8
Carter: 4
Clinton: 8
Obama: 8
Biden: 4
52 out of the last 100 years seems pretty good
I’m a Democrat and unhappy with the current situation in the party, but it’s not from an inability to win the WH in the last 100 years

There‘s graphic novel made of the teleplay. It’s radically different and a great story and art. I liked the original but understand why Ellison was angry.
Among many other things, Yeoman Rand kicks some butt, and there actually is a city on the edge of forever. Worth a read if you can find it.

I know, you couldn’t (or wouldn’t) read it because of the paywall. Now you have a gift article, so no excuses! (/s in case it’s not blindingly obvious)

I’m a lifelong Dem, like these guys and their politics, and know they aren’t going to win the presidency.
It’s way early and like you said, there needs to be vetting. Like what you said about Pritzker. I would suggest Kelly is another good possibility.

We found that boiled noodles, especially thin rice vermicelli, had a tendency to get mushy and, if left in the hot soup for any length of time, broke apart.

This is my minimum expectation. I can count party members in Congress. I know the odds of passing something. Try anyway, there’s nothing to lose!

My Italian grandmother, great-grandmother, and great aunt taught me to make them with a ricer. Definitely the best way.

Of course insurance will pay! (If you can still afford insurance.) The cost of vaccines is pennies compared to the cost of actually getting the conditions they protect against. They don’t want to pay out the amount it costs if you get sick.

That whole battle scene is just perfect. Saw it not too long ago on the big screen, my first time since I saw it on release. Screen time for it is short, but it involves you so fully that “hours seem like days”.

Fun note: when we were in grad school, my wife became good friends with the lead nurse at the surgery. She is the wife of the surgeon, and for retirement went back to school for bioarchaeology.

Donald Crabtree was the major figure that advanced our knowledge of stone tool making and analysis. In 1978, he had heart surgery performed with a set of stone tools he made. It healed extremely well because the tools were sharper than steel. 2/2

When I was doing archaeology a lifetime ago, my focus was stone tools (lithics). Tools to do this are relatively easy to create from stone. Stone can be made into very fine instruments, and obsidian has surgical uses. 1/2

French for “out of action.” Incapable of fighting, for whatever reason. You don’t kill people who are defenseless.

I would also not blame Comey. When he re-opened the investigation, my reaction was “Anthony Weiner?! How did ANYONE let him near State Dept. information?!” Completely unforced error to have that mook anywhere near you or your campaign.
