If You Hear Someone Call David Block A "Liberal," Just Ignore Them; They're Imbeciles

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 minute ago
If the '90s doesn't see like ancient history, you may remember David Brock as one of the most vile of the right-wing villains. He was paid by the far right to write books and articles smearing Democrats and progressives. He was particularly virulent in his screeds against President Clinton. And became a far right hero for a racist and misogynistic characterization Anita Hill as "a bit nutty and a bit slutty." After he broke with the far right and started sucking at the tit of centrist establishment Democrats, he admitted he had been a habitual liar. In regard to the arguments over ... more »

"Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie." - Dean Koontz

My friend and legendary polymath Freeman Dyson passed away at 96. We had lunch planned for when he and his irrepressibly impressive wife Imme next came to their apartment in La Jolla. Alas, it’s not to be.

Covid19 April 24 in Ohio

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 2 hours ago
So far, 649 have died of Covid19 in Ohio, and based on previous years, about 28,000 will die of heart disease in Ohio.
