My new slogan: Feed the Needy Not the Greedy

If the GOP loses the midterms, Squeaker of the House Johnson can still 1)ask the House clerk to refuse to list the new delegates; 2)fire the clerk who refuses and replace with a MAGA shill. If that fails, he can refuse to seat the new delegates or refuse to declare the House in session.

About that GoFundMe, I have severe chronic arthritis. It's difficult and painful for me to get out of a regular chair, even a recliner. I'll be 82 in a month, so I'm not likely to get better or have surgery. All help much appreciated!

So why do authors post links to the dreaded Amazon? Because when I posted a link to B&N, the book there is out of stock.

The assorted rightwingers who thing the Odyssey movie isn't "true to Homer" obviously have no idea of what "Homer" really was and what was actually in the Odyssey. Hint: it starts with O. already marooned on the nymph's island.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
