I am planning my DU birthday wishlist WAY early this year

On it is just one item:

ONE day with the GD board free of posts about Sen. Sanders or Rep. Ocasio-Cortez

There are 45 Democratic Senators and independent Angus King, who really IS on our side. There are over 230 Democratic members of the House whose first names are not Alexandria.


I know, I know.........."To Dream The Impossible Dream...."

I see "Young Frankenstein's" blind man making his wish and then calling, "wait! Where are you going? I was going to make espresso...."

He had to take a screen test to get the part!

Hilarious and painful all at the same time.

Maybe it'll happen for you!

And, actually, my wife used that line to better effectiveness one t 5 AM to run down to Sprout City or some such placime. I had to get up ate, and as I was about to leave, she called (in English!), "Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make espresso!" I swear, I considered blowing off Belgium that day........
