There is an appropriate Dylan song for almost every occasion.

One guy yelled ā€œNRA!ā€ at us and we turned to each other and laughed. Somehow ā€œNRAā€ is an antidote to people who donā€™t want other peopleā€™s children kidnaped. Itā€™s the opposite, the antonym.

Iā€™m talking about previous elections. Not the one in November. No excuses in November.

O - sorry. Guess I didnā€™t track that right.

Voting itself takes almost no time. Waiting in line to vote can take hours - weā€™ve seen those 6 and 8 hour long lines - when Obama ran in '08.

I hope 2016 was a lesson to a lot of people who didnā€™t bother.

Oh, youā€™re right about that. Sorry. Here, it takes about ten minutes.

Early voting and enough voting precincts would make it easier, but we know why thatā€™s less of an option in some states, donā€™t we.

A neighbor and I held signs rejecting zero tolerance policy at a major intersection in our neighborhood! Got a lot of thumbs up from commuters!

What is the Trump administration doing to resolve this? Why isnā€™t anyone in the Republican Party concerned?

At the march I went to some older guy in a car yelled out, ā€œWhat about abortion?ā€ Brief pause and then, ā€œFuck all of you!ā€ And he drove off.

A little too ironic, donā€™t you think?

Almost as ironic as rain on your wedding day.

Speaking of Trump supporters, I just saw the clip on The Daily Show of Michael Kosta interviewing some of them about ā€œSpace Forceā€. Lordy, if you havenā€™t seen it, you must.

Ignoring what itā€™s like to suffer through even a minute of Hugh Hewitt, from a business standpoint, giving him a show was hard to explain.

Last week at AM Saturday there were about 1.7 million people tuned in to FOX, 600k for CNN, and 312k for Hewitt on MSNBC. Iā€™m assuming many of them had fallen asleep with the TV on, or were waiting for the next show. Hour by hour, as people were waking up, the ratings went from 360k at 7, dipped to 312k for Hewittā€™s show, then immediately jumped to 431k at 7:30, then 580k at 8m. The shows surrounding Hewitt are generic ones where they donā€™t even put the hostā€™s name in the name of the show.

Hewitt was hired at a period where MSNBC was seemingly trying to kill itself. The only thing that kept management from destroying MSNBC was that the weekday evening ratings suddenly took went sky high, but at the time they seemed hellbent on turning it into a less-popular version of CNN.

(BTW, when will MSNBC attempt to program competitively on weekend evenings? Their only show last Saturday or Sunday that cracked the cable top 50 (for viewers 18-49) was AM Joy at 46th place at 10AM on Saturday. By comparison, last Thursday, MSNBC 8/9/10/11pm shows came in at 44/13/29/45 with Maddow beating Hannity for the top cable news show of the day )

Remember the tens of thousands who showed up to Tea Bagger rallies?

Yeah, neither do I.

I always loved how the media would never give a wide shot of the crowds in order to show the tens of tens that were in attendance.
