That’s what I’m talking about!

Well, at the end of his life Teddy was saying it was his biggest legislative regret.
But thanks SO MUCH for bringing up the Tidal Basin Bombshell!

Santos is going nowhere.
My guess is he will also renege on a re-election campaign when he considers that he might actually have to work for a living after December 2024. This guy appears to have never done an honest day’s work in his life and I don’t see him changing that any time soon.
And darned few editors to insist on accuracy and grammer.

I still remember being in Monterrey for a week with the Carrier project and watching the morning weather forecast, where the map of Mexico still included the land of Texas in its outline.
Haha!
We’re all meeting in DC next week for Thanksgiving. I’ll mention it. At least he’s not 29! 
These are just a bunch of the top RawStory headlines this morning. Not saying they are good or bad, certainly anything with the word ‘Chump’ in it gets clicks. But they feed only LW tastes. It’s mostly good, honest news at least. But it’s juiced to do what that For-Profit entity wants.
The failure of our media is obvious.
Every story for the last 3 years should have been ‘Traitorous Scum-Bag Still At Large’. Or “Will Traitorous Scum-Bag Avoid Death Penalty”.
And I am not just blaming the media or saying they can do much about it at this point, after decades of creating a fake-universe for most everyone to inhabit (created in a very large part by advertisers greed.) Think about that feedback loop. They are already in the business of making joyous happy people appear joyous and happy and buy more detergent and pills. They are Dreamweavers with all the cameras and tech, money and time to really push every person’s button. Maybe they aren’t the Media giants but the Media giants are wholly reliant on the huge corporations who sell things, and use ads/news/reality warping to make sure you keep buying their stuff and never hear about their malfeasance.
They needed to create a ‘reality’, and then they needed to keep maintaining / creating it
ever-after. The effort to absorb the daily reality and decide how it gets (or doesn’t) relayed to the masses goes mostly unseen, but it’s massive.
When half the country, approx, whole states sometimes of buyers/consumers are blindly following a Traitorous Scum-Bag, what are Matrix Weaving Media Conglomerates to do?

Northern CALIFORNIA. Should not have been so US-Centric, I guess.

One of Teddy’s biggest regrets that he said was not voting for C. Everette Koop for Surgeon General due to his more conservative views. He like many came to really respect him particularly his work, in light of the Reagan administration trying to squelch him, on HIV AIDS.
He also said that one of his proudest votes was voting no on the Iraq War in late 2002. Obviously he remembered the quagmire of Vietnam. Stuff like that is why I’m not a fan of term limits. That kind of institutional and historical memory really matters.
