18. It is easier when good guys are just good

and bad guys are just bad.

Sometimes, sadly, "good guys" aren't really good.

It is important we view our elected representatives as expendable. Or at least transactional. There are a lot of skeletons in a lot of closets amongst the ambitious elite. If I don't know, shame on them. Once I find out and I excuse it? Shame on me.

Roger Stone? Red herring. Misdirect. As relevant as the type of liquor used to date rape somebody.
