Iβm not the biggest Bill Clinton fan, but this is an excellent quote. Far too many people in the West, are failing to understand that the battle for #Ukraine is the battle for democracy itself. It is democracy vs authoritarianism. If πΊπ¦ falls to π·πΊ, then Taiwan falls to π¨π³, πΊπΈ targets Greenland, then π¨π¦.

Yeah. Bloody parking!!
My cardiac care has been excellent and timely. My wife's hip took a while to get scheduled but the procedure and care were terrific. We're OK with the compromise.

Despite multiple visits to Portland over the years, I was only ever to have them once, as the line was always absurdly long.
My only real criticism of Portland, in fact. Lovely city.
Good enough to be in Canada!

I heard there was a secret cove
Where mallards preened and cormorants dove
But you don't really care for birding do ya?
They've slimey skin and pec'tral fins
They get quite big though they're long and thin
the river kings a-lurking, anguillidae

They each became involved in the progressive world, too. Bob became a major figure in the NRDC environmental group. Paul, who made it on to Nixon's enemies list, later was a part owner of The Nation magazine. They were each gracious, smart, and engaged. They entertained and enlightened.
One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
