And these are the "sane" Republicans.

To think Karen was already measuring the White House drapes, convinced that Cheeto would be re-elected - but would die sometime in his second term.

deSaster's wife, to me, seems like your garden-variety social climber. Do you get that same 'vibe' for her?



Having lived in Orange County, CA, she reminds me of quite a few unpleasant acquaintances from that time.

thought was, to say the least, unflattering. The second was, "what a power-hungry monster."

I am fortunate in not being personally acquainted with any of the social climber types. Unfortunately, there is a group that I call the pretentious posse, who, to my mind, are just as obnoxious.

It's long been my contention that the root of all evil isn't money; it's the ego.

Money just supercharges it - as history has shown us again and again.

or "greed" - in Latin, "cupiditas." "Radix malorum est cupiditas." I don't remember the Greek and haven't the energy to look it up, but I'm sure it will be a word closer to "greed" than to "money" specifically.

Beau of the Fifth Column refers to money a "power coupons" which find thought-provoking.

My contention coincides with that of M. Scott Peck, who contended that the root of all evil was falsehood. His book "People of the Lie" made a pretty strong case - and that was long before wie had prefessional political delusion. as a norm.

She's very funny and her drawings of the current cast of characters is brilliant. I love the way she draws Rudy.

Kinda miss seeing cocktail server Mo and her long-suffering bartender, though.
Did they get better jobs?

I have a few things in the fire, but it's slow going. Don does most his work alone or with one or two local collaborators. Mine require a lot of back and forth between Atlanta and wherever it is I happen to be in any given moment.
