I love serendipity. At the very moment this new article posted, I opened up my deceased mom’s copy of the latest Birds & Blooms. On the back cover, there is a beautiful owl with its neck cocked and staring straight ahead at me. The quote with it is one from Marie Curie: “Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.”

The message to me is that we need to stay on task: the issues that are facing us all, and what the platform of the Democratic Party is going to be, and how are we going to proceed next year, with the Democratic Party holding the Executive Branch, and both the Senate and the House.

Keep Calm and Wash your hands! We’ve got work to do.

Note to the general public: Speaker Pelosi shows how good governance is done yet again: “It’s a security and health decision.” Excuse me while I adore her unabashedly!

Yes, wash your hands, and disinfect your phone Madam Speaker. And can you get Joe to stop shaking hands, do the elbow bump thingy…

We don’t want anyone on our side getting sick from the Trump virus.

Pelosi’s instincts are honorable and for the best interests of the country, Trump’s instincts are dishonorable and self-serving.

Gee, would be nice to have a President Pelosi stepping up on a day like today to reassure the nation, after the DOW craters and the country looks like it’s about to be every person for themselves…

Rather than just praying that a certain other idiot just keeps his mouth shut and out of the headlines lest tomorrow be even worse…

She’s my representative, and she’s about to to face a Dem. challenger in a general election for the first time in thirty years. I’ll be proud to vote for her again.

Somebody has to keep the country running while Moron happily Neroshimas the Nation.

Meanwhile Senate R’s are self quarantining to score martyr points. But it’s not as if they were going to do any work anyway.

Is that a caduceus pinned to her dress?

Yes.

I’d give anything. I would not be as nervous as I am if we had a real president and if her name was Nancy Pelosi.

Not very nice of her, though. She sprays it in MoscowMitch’s eyes when there aren’t any witnesses around, and she laughs like a maniac as he rolls around on the rug in agony.

I expect a lot of the world panic is amplified because the US is unable at this time to provide the needed leadership.

I suspect the stock market would be a little less volatile as well.

There is nothing to fear but Trump his self.
