I have a small but good thing to report... [View all]

...to wit: I attended the Tucson Gem Show with some friends this past few days. We stayed at a Country Inn in Tucson. On Saturday morning while we sat having breakfast, I looked up at the TV and lo! and behold! It was tuned to UP With Chris Hayes!!

I expected it to be tuned to Faux News, and was actually shocked to hear Chris and his guests having an intelligent discussion.

I took it as a good sign. Every little bit helps!
