Thanks, Sugar M. That sounds like an excellent information program to GOTV. I hope that today volunteers are knocking on many doors. This election really matters.

Espy is asking for money with hours to go before the polls open in Mississippi. I cannot inagine that new or more ads will make much difference now. GOTV efforts should have priority; ads might help there.

NPR ran an interesting story about C. diff. infections. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/11/25/657861409/dangerous-infection-tied-to-hospitals-now-becoming-common-outside-them It was once thought that most infections were due to antibiotic use changing the flora of the gut or to acquir...

Beto O’Rourke is 46 and a graduate of Columbia. He is not a member of a dynasty family. Some described in as charismatic. How about him?

What a beautiful dream! My much more prosaic dreams are envious. A cup of New Orleans seafood gumbo should remedy the damage.

I think Pelosi is least effective when she is publicly representing the Democratic Party. Maybe she can find people who can do that more effectively.

I love that graphic showing the diversity of the Democratic members of the House. That is America. The lily white Republicans are on tge road to death.

I am surprised that the Trump Organization was permitted to open this building.

Agreed, Addie.

Someone here probably remembers better than me, and I'm not doing any research on it, but my recollection is that the laws were changed because of the high number of women who would tell responding police that no, she was fine, don't arrest her husband. Often neighbors were the ones calling, not th...

What is "due process" for revoking Acosta's hard pass? I doubt the White House wants to charge him with a crime.

This thread is about Michael Avenatti. As I see it, it is not a place for a member to lecture other members.

Under Republicans, people exploit people
Under Democrats, it's exactly the opposite

What does this add to any discussion?

The question is not whether Bill and Hillary Clinton have the right to go on a speaking tour for which they charge as much as the market will bear. The question is whether this is good for the Democratic Party.

Thanks for being considerate, Kate. Stern is a treasure that we do not want to lose.

Local Ruverhead press says 14 arrests for trafficking crack cocaine.

I use Peapod, which has ties to Stop and Shop and Giant groceries. I have had good luck with the produce. I think that mostly depends upon the produce manager. It may save me money if it eliminates most impulse buys. The fee is usually $6.95 plus a tip.

I also had an easy recovery from cataract surgeries. They greatly improved my vision, including perception of colors.

Do have your ophthalmologist check for retinal detachments. A laser shot can fix them.

Do we know if both Stern and his ranch are OK?

i seriously dislike the First Lady's interference in White House staffing. She has no competence to take such actions. If WH staff now must sneak quietly around her, a bad morale problem just got worse. Trump has the ability but not the strength to fix this.

Several analysts, including a recent Slate writer, are arguing that the Democrats did indeed have a significant Blue Wave in 2018. In fact, the base of support for the Republican Party has shifted from the suburbs to rural areas. I agree with these analysts. Good job!

We have the first nor’easter of the season in our near future: snow, sleet, freezing rain. Glad Peapod is coming before the storm.

I know that it takes time to notify troops that an armistice has been signed. Do we know how many people were killed between the signing of the armistice and the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month? I understand that a “stop shooting” order would have been unfair until both sides had the mes...

Is there anything remotely legal about Trump's suggestion?

If you stop and read the names on some WWI memorials in smaller towns and villages in England, you will see the same surname listed several times. So many families lost multiple, in some cases, all, their sons to this war. Every war is appalling; but WWI was especially brutal, annihilating a large ...
