I'm a little surprised during all this Ferguson coverage that the Dump-On-Obama marathon slowed up a little. How 'bout that.

Grim times. Times when I, too, need DU and all the people toward whom I feel great fondness and affection. DU has kept me sane and not feeling alone and isolated - since the early months of bush/cheney. I needed it badly then. I still need it now. Glad you're here. Your wisdom is always great to have, and to read.
