73. I avoid them like the plague. I know it's the title of the vid (usually a vid) but it's like ...

…the Boy Who Cried Wolf, and I’ve been tricked too often. All our enemies are still out there doing what they do and not feeling an iota of embarrassment, much less humiliation or the sense of being destroyed.

High on my list of other things I refuse to read is the flood of similarly-construed begging e-mails from politicians I donated to because I like and support them. Very shortly I’m going to unsubscribe from Reuben Gallego until I’m damn good and ready to donate again.

It’s not his personal fault — it’s some kind of widespread disease cooked up in a political advertising lab — and we can’t even blame Wuhan for it. The last straw for me was when Joe Biden’s campaign advertisers started telling me he was out of money and I was the only Democrat left in Goleta who had not yet donated to help him defeat Trump.

A. I had already donated over a hundred bucks to Joe back then, and could read in the newspapers for myself that his campaign chest was, if not overflowing, certainly not scraping the bottom. B. That was an obsolete location. C. What ad agency idiot told all our Dem politicians that this ploy would work? D. What kind of country do we live in where it does work?
