Tonight I am celebrating the life and legacy of Wendell Berry, Kentucky's greatest modern writer, who passed away today at age 92. Wendell was a kind, generous and wise man. I am proud to have known him. Here is a portrait I took of him at his home in December 2011. Rest in peace, Wendell.

Could there be a better endorsement of this book? What a lunatic.

The partisan split makes sense when you consider that so many Republicans get their "news" from Fox and other right-wing propaganda companies. It makes them ignorant of facts and immune to logic, reason and, increasingly, human decency. This is why fact-based, honest journalism is vital.

In case you missed the First Felon's demented rambling at Davos, my governor offers a good summary.

Today in 2021, the First Felon was impeached after he sent a violent mob to storm the Capitol in attempt to stay in power despite losing the election. Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to convict despite obvious evidence. Instead of being in prison, Trump is now destroying America.

Character matters, and the problem with this administration's leadership is that it's an assemblage of liars whose moral character resembles that of Donald Trump.

Of course they have been. Local prosecutors must fight for justice.

Fox News, the right-wing propaganda network, is doing everything it can to promote the administration's lies about ICE's murder of an American citizen. Never forget: our whole Trump nightmare would not have been possible without the journalistic malpractice of Fox. Its lies are destroying America.
