Long lines at Baker School in Austin.

It took two hours to get to the voting checkin.

There was but one laptop for everyone to check in - Republicans and Dems alike.

It was hot and smelly and there was even a crying baby to make it all perfect.

It was like they weren't expecting, you know, voters to show up.

Four here in Texas

Me, son and daughter-in-law, and other son.

That's all of us. 100% for my family.

I donated again.

A little more this time.

What really amazed me, having watched bureaucracies

Bend over backwards not to offend TPTB is how they got the publisher to let them run the story.

Apparently, the Catholic Church ran everything in Boston back then.

Me!

I cried the first time I voted for Obama, just wishing so much that my mother and grandmother were still alive and could vote for him.

They would have loved him.

As Sermon-on-the-Mount Christians, I think they would love Bernie, too.

Bravo.

I fear that her Supreme Court nominees

will be complete corporatists.

Hate to say it,

But me, too.

February 20, 2016

I'm in.

Thanks for the reminder.
