I installed a new dishwasher on Sunday, because my GE dishwasher bit the dust. Bosch was recommended highly.

Installing dishwashers is a pain, but it's a known pain. What I had not anticipated was that I couldn't figure out how to turn the new dishwasher on. It took *hours*.

I think of myself as a "pragmatic socialist," so I say things like, "Libertarians and Communists have something important in common: both cling to a theory of how humans ought to be, rather than how humans actually are."

But I'm always interested in what "pragmatic conservatives" have to say.

As we contemplate Trump's impending cabinet, shall we remember his failed appointments too, which he has already begun to accumulate?

In the lingo of SpaceX, Matt Gaetz didn't even survive Stage Zero --- before the inauguration.

Maybe Trump should try Jeff Sessions for AG again.
