This is not good news. I fear the bounce and good coverage that the Dem Party and our nominee Hillary could get from the convention will be severely compromised by this. This is the worse case scenario. Maybe someone can "talk me down" from how I feel.
On a happier note-- HEY Iamaartist-Your Beatles painting is cool!
HILLARY 2016! SANDERS NEVER! BEATLES 4 EVER!
I saw The Who in Oakland last night. They put on a very good show and their voices are still great. Townsend's birthday was yesterday...He is 71. Nice to know someone can still be totally cool at that age!
