Nantucket, tiny as it is

The cost of houses there is off the charts, and the people there (and the Vineyard) hold LOTS of fundraisers every summer. Obama and the Clintons were regulars, and this year, I know Senators Ossoff and Hickenlooper are coming, and I think Katie Hobbs of Arizona was planning a trip, though I don’t know exactly when. If Nantucket weren’t such a pain to get to from Provincetown, I’d be making the trek over there myself a couple of times just to see “the gang.” I know there are people that hire private planes for just such occasions. I am not one of them.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
