I have a long week of services ahead starting tomorrow morning with Divine Liturgy for the Saturday of Lazarus. Then all week morning and evening. The Greek Orthodox Church I attend is 27 miles away and usually in the evenings I take a friend who lives 10 miles away. I love the services but sometimes, I admit, my mind wanders and it gets a bit tedious.

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

(I'm really going to enjoy meat and cheese on Pascha)

and I told the man that I would choose individually which candidates for Senate to support during the primary season.

He was quite pleasant and still asked for a contribution (I have donated before) but I said only after the primaries.

He verified that the DSCC only picks one Democratic candidate during a primary and I told him that is why I won't donate to DSCC during a primary.

I got my 1st ever hide for stating my opinion. No personal attack whatsoever.

Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Thank you.

unless he takes a crushing defeat in New York tomorrow. If he has a competitive race tomorrow in New York, I think he'll continue to be in the passing lane and be ahead of her by next week. That's my hunch."

To think that Tweety is saying this!

It seems she didn't have their back but they had hers.

That sounds a lot like "I've always tried to tell the truth". Saying you tried means you didn't succeed.

"Despite headlining the story at its front page as relating to Cruz, AP's story covered both races. Here what Julie Pace and Scott Bauer wrote about Sanders' victory ...


draping front-runners Trump and Clinton in uncertainty and preventing both from fully setting their sights on the general election.

For Sanders, Wisconsin was favorable territory, with an overwhelming white electorate and liberal pockets of voters"
....
Darn that Bernie Sanders. He's winning in predominantly white states and distracting Mrs. Clinton from the all-important task of winning the general election."
