33. The whole McConnell media circus...

…reminds me of the bad old days of the Cold War and the USSR, particularly the way their heavy-handed propaganda system attempted to hide the deaths of their leaders (sometimes for weeks).

I guess my memory of those times might be one of the purported benefits of now being “of a certain age”. I worry that our own political system is now taking on some of the characteristics of the old Soviet gerontocracy.
