It is good to see you.

Maybe. The official government cop reports to the newspapers are that "radio equipment" has been stolen. One can't help but wonder if that is all. Or what state of the art equipment the doomsday plane would use for communication.

I should have read ahead. Yup. These aren't the car radios from my Toyota.

It doesn't.Bernie had the same plan Trump did, appeal to your base and no one else and think that will be enough.In the end, they both lost with that logic and it wasn't even close.

Trump was also able from a tactical consideration to hold the center (of attention) and picked off candidates one by one. They never worked together to beat a character they swore was "bad for the party". But ya know Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Kasich had to stick in for reasons

What does it mean when I think "This new progressive rock band isn't bad" and then I realize it's a classic rock station?

Ok to the folks demanding a progressive get in a cabinet position... you REALLY want that? You know that person isn't an elected position or anything like that. It's appointment contingent on the President still liking you. Say in another dimension Bernie were made Labor Sec. He ain't putting a whole Bernie spin on the department. He might, might, MIGHT do rules within the department concerning itself, but largely he'll be a person running Biden's agency with Biden's orders. God, it feels like I'm teaching freshmen again, and I'm not even getting paid this time.

I can't believe Fox has the nerve to say anything (actually I do believe it). Have they forgotten Yosemite ?

She would have been the better match because she's a black woman and you need as many glass ciellings broken as possible? I don't know, maybe we're trying to run a country and a humongous number of ppl don't give a s---- about every racial slant that has ever occurred. This is a guy who ran the department before and whether you run it is more important than whether you're the right color skin

I'd kind of have preferred Heidi Heitkamp to the "nominate me BECAUSE I'm black." Marcia might have been a good candidate but the optics of her campaigning was not something I liked. Also, there have been black agriculture seceretaries before

I also don't like Vilsack, but for the sake of diversity Biden is required to pick some elitist, aging white men.
