Nor do Jews.

Take a number.

The only problem would be - two Senators.

Yeah, Obama/Biden.

But by now I think there probably better be more of a resume balance.

But I have to say - the words of Michael Moore this week still rattle around in my brain.

He said what we need to run with is "a beloved American." He suggested somebody like Captain Sully Sullenberger or other American hero like that. This would not rule out Oprah or Michelle Obama, even though neither has expressed interest in running.

But I think he might be making a good point.

Yeah. I like 'em both, but Harris is too new to the scene, too.

But they add to our bench strength, for sure!

Lock him up.

That damn Cardinal Roger Mahony.

All he ever did was move priests around and out of the spotlight when they turned out to be predatory nogoodniks. They were NEVER forced to face the music. He protected them.

Cardinal Roger Mahony can never be redeemed, even if he opposes President Trump

Cardinal Roger Mahony can never be redeemed, even if he opposes President Trump

To the editor: I read with interest your flattering article on Cardinal Roger Mahony, the former Roman Catholic archbishop of Los Angeles who retired in disgrace but is still speaking out on immigration. I would like to clarify a few things.
Although Mahony now says he told his successor that he would “stay below the radar” and try not to draw too much media attention to himself, the article fails to note that it was actually Archbishop Jose Gomez who, in the wake of the archdiocese’s ordered release of priest abuse records, wrote a public letter to the faithful admonishing Mahony for his failures in dealing with the abuse and announcing that he no longer would have any administrative or public duties.

Readers should revisit past L.A. Times articles that recount how Mahony refused to report the allegations of abuse to authorities, selected therapists for some victims whom he knew would not report to law enforcement and advised some accused priests to stay away from California to avoid prosecution.
As a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in child abuse, I have to set the record straight.

He died a few years ago. May God have mercy on his soul. I'm still not sure I can get to that point yet.

That's probably it.

Pathetic is more like it.
