Happy Birthday, Dan Rather!

You continue to be a beacon of truth. And we need that. And we need YOU, too!

That's the kind of thing I love to see.

When the super rich actually help those who aren’t.

I’m NOT interested, OR impressed, with richies who fund think tanks and political institutions - usually on the wrong side of the aisle.

Indeed.

They never REALLY reassessed and reformed. Every now and then after they get their asses kicked by the voters, they’ll waste everybody’s time (including their own) issuing an “autopsy” on what went wrong and how to do better.

But their idea of “doing better” isn’t anything that has ever impressed me. Just more bullshit.

I'm SO DAMN SICK of those Troglodytes.

It’s reality. GET USED TO IT!

Writing it down is an excellent idea.

It sets things out, separately from you, so you can look at them dispassionately, and analyze and reflect and either dismiss or edit or otherwise clarify. Seems to me it allows for some room for objectivity.

And it sure-as-shootin’ gives you room for some perspective.

Not only that, but writing it down HERE invites support, further comment, and further thought.

Love it!

Love DU too!

This is such a wonderful community!

Happy Trails indeed!

I’ve become a fan of “do it while you still can.”

LOVE IT!!!

Just make sure not to set ‘em down anywhere before you all head for home!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
