'The idea of "embracing" insults to erase their power is oversold, I think.'

Oversold is putting it mildly. “Democrat Party” is a deliberate expression of disrespect. It’s a verbal form of kicking sand in our faces. To pretend otherwise reinforces the idea that the Democratic Party is pathetic and weak. I say call them out every time they use it.

Aren’t there Senate and House rules of civility and decorum that could at least be enforced when Congress is in session?

In honor of my 1000th post, I want to share old news that's new to me.

I had no idea that Dylan hosted a radio show from 2006-2009, and returned last September to do another. Each show is theme-based, and there are 100+ available via YouTube and various other providers (see links).

Dylan’s inimitable commentary as he introduces each song is priceless. Every show I’ve listened to so far is a treasure. I never thought of him as “cozy,” but Dylan is great company in the middle of the night.
