Your fifth and sixth paragraphs should be engraved on a stone tablet

and replicas made, to install in EVERY Democratic headquarters from coast to coast.

While theyre at it, Olbermann?

I would LOVE to see him get a prominent platform again. We need his voice, and his outrage.

Yep.

Mount Everest vs an anthill. “The SAME! All the SAAAAAAAME!” And in the meantime, the REAL offenders here skate, because everything has somehow been swept up into some gigantic witch’s brew of generalized ick. Genius way to deflect and distract and minimize outrage and guilt.

By the time anybody remembers Roy Moore or donald trump, America throws up its collective hands and says “fuck it! I don’t even care anymore! They’re all the same-Pox on both their houses-both sides! BOTH sides!!!”

And the good guys wind up with the whole load to carry, while the bad guys skate away, free.

WHY CAN’T OUR GUYS GET A CLUE? AND PULL THIS SHIT ON THE REAL BAD GUYS???

Thanks. Yeah. It is. We've had fire scares before, around here.

But this is the first time I've run into neighbors who are actually out loading up their cars, while I'm out walking the dog. They all say the same thing. They've got young kids. They've been loading all the stuff in, first, and then adding the kids in, last. We're doing that with our animals. Stuff in first. Then the life forms.

Um... there is one thing in all this, that actually gave me a giggle. The fires have driven us to keeping local news on all day, and it's not just for background noise. One of the local stations began a look back at the last time a fire like this happened, in 1961. It was called the Bel-Air Fire. It went all over the Westside, including farther up our street. Some of the neighborhood lore says Richard Nixon lived on our street. So one of the local stations launched its retrospective, and indeed, the tales were true - there was old black-&-white footage of then Vice President Nixon, hosing down his hillside because the fire was coming. And the report named our street! Well whaddya know.

Welcome to DU, Collimator!

I don't think it's either one. Not a drama, certainly not a comedy. More like a travesty.

Anything that starts with Roger Stone is NOT legit.

Especially when his early "partner in crime" works at a CON-leaning AM radio station. Something just smells really bad about this.

Welcome to DU, hurl!

And thanks so much for the donation! Hopefully that will help pay for a tank of gas for some volunteer who's making SURE that people go to the polls next Tuesday, by personally driving them there!

Seriously, folks, there are MORE OF US than there are of the bad guys! Just by sheer numbers! If WE all came out to vote, without fail (and CERTAINLY without any mealy-mouthed excuses), we would always win. Simply by the numbers. Because there are MORE OF US than there are of the GOP.

We're not watching it. Fire out here in SoCal - may force us to evacuate tonight...

YEEEEEEESH...

Please keep a good thought for us here in fiery West L.A.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
