I've been thinking I may have to tune out DU during the primaries.

Yes, I know political campaigns have always been mean, brutish, and ugly, but I believe we're all facing some pretty large challenges as a country and as a planet for this politics-as-usual crap.

As Bob Dylan once sang, "Let us stop talking falsely now...the hour is getting late."

There's even more urgency to that line than when he first wrote it, imo.
