I'm starting to refer to Kavanaugh as Brett "Kegger" Kavanaugh.

And on his eventual headstone will be his signature declaration: "I LIKE BEER!!!"

Rough year so far. We've lost more than a few distinguished individuals.

Louie Anderson
Meatloaf
Ronnie Spector
Bob Saget
Sidney Poitier
Peter Bogdanovich
and more.
And closing out the last year we lost Betty White and John Madden, too.

Awwww, Bayard...

I’m so sorry! I still think of our Goldie every day, and she’s been gone awhile by now.

They sure do leave paw prints on your heart.

But on average, women tend to live longer.

She could outlast them both.

To that I'd say - Stand your ground when some anti-masker wants to give you shit.

A lot of the time they aren't expecting pushback. They're used to just yelling and venting and owning the floor and acting out/up with no consequences. They're used to thinking of us and our side as nothing but pushovers. So WHEN we DO push back, they're probably not going to be well-prepared and won't know how to handle it. Often they won't even have a comeback because they've never considered that they'd need one.

So do we brace ourselves for them throwing a fit and doing everything to subdivide us?

She's a GREAT leader and we need that leadership even more, now.

Conditions back when she promised that - have RADICALLY and DRASTICALLY changed. Maybe now is NOT such a good time to switch from the experienced hand on the steering wheel to somebody who's new - and pretty much untested - at it. Might have been, a few years back, when American democracy itself didn't have its head forced onto a Republican chopping block.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
