Wow, can we extend this to members of the House as well?

They're probably trying to point a landmark—any landmark!—to orient people. Let's face it, it's impossible to find your way around that station because it's so terminally boring and desperately unmemorable.

"...even though everyone knew they would be paid in full shortly..."

He has no idea how mortgage payments work, does he?

Old lady here; few resources, heart problems too. My tiny donation won’t pay for much, but please warm your heart on the appreciation and encouragement. Thanks for a sorely needed contrast with other things these days. You give love to the world, in your work, messages, and images.

This is SUCH a good insight. Thank you!

Gosh darn it, Filipowski, this is gosh darned important! If women are ever stoned to death for adultery in the US of A, it's gonna be according to the CHRISTIAN BIBLE!

And I am now reading one of your books because I keep seeing you here and I like your posts.

I (American) took my kid to the Museum of the City of Tokyo when she was 8. Watching a video of the B-29s dropping bombs in March 1945, she said, “Those are the bad guys, right?” I had to tell her, “Actually, honey, that’s us.” She was shocked that we had once been at war with Japan.

Rest and get well. Just let it all go for a few days. I love your posts and will be looking forward to more when you're better.

I can always recognize your posts the moment I read them (without before I even see your name). Glad I've found you here after quitting The Other Place.

This is flat-out wrong. If it were so, John McCain would not have been eligible for the presidency, since he was born in Panama.

1. I've noticed that fish oil can help stave off depression. Yay!
2. Two powerful and guilty people have turned to savaging each other instead of us.
3. It has become a nice, rainy, late Friday afternoon.

Senator Booker:

Energy is contagious!

You just transmitted a big dose to all of us, all across the country, when we really need it.

Thank you for raising our heat with your fire: your passionate words, your example of stamina, and your defeat of Strom Thurmond. Every bit of that mattered.

Oh! How did you know?

Every day when you offer this, I assume it's me you're talking about. So thank you for noticing.
