Written in 1968, "In C", is one of the most often performed and recorded "classical" composition of the 20th century, and Maya Beiser's solo cello version is maybe the most glorious and visionary performance on record. Well worth a focused listening!

It's anger. She wanted to run for senate. Trump wanted her to stay in the house and had the RNC and RNSC quash it. So she's going scorched earth. She's still a horrible person. Sun Tzu said it best. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." I'll settle for frenemy.

Seems to me that an important detail is being ignored in the discussion of ACA subsidy extensions.
Why the spiny acrid fuck are health insurance companies not regulated better? Why can they increase premiums by ten fold just because of no subsidy? Those fuckers need a goddam leash

The SILENCE from George W. Bush right now is very telling.
He's always been an intellectual lightweight.
I'm just surprised at what a COWARD he is and how he obviously doesn't care about the country he supposedly led for 8 years.
