Have Coffee Will Write

Perhaps,at 70 years old, I’ve reverted to being that clueless teenager in high school who yearned to become Henry David Thoreau.

I’ve struggling to get back into the flow in these dangerous times.

I regularly watch Jake’s videos and I nearly always agree with him.

So, I’m still in the fight and I want don’t want to let the perfect become the enemy of the good, but from where I sit, outside of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Raskin, I’m not seeing much good in the Democratic Party at the national level.

I’m not a Big-D Democrat, but I have three times solemnly sworn to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

In the past I have used phrases like “Let the tumbrels roll” and referenced Phrygian caps, but after watching the discussion between George Conway and Sarah Longwell, I must say that I agree with Conway: the guardrails are gone.

So, there is way too much to even begin commenting on here.

So, this morning I started watching the above video and stopped at the 28:14 time mark asking myself the question in the headline.

While writing this morning I’m listening to Alice Cooper’s album From The Inside.

This nightmare showed up in my email inbox this morning.

From Jamesleo on this morning’s Daily Kos: Every shelf was stacked and prices didn’t appear much different from last year.

Democrats and Republicans are the front for the Pro-War Pro-Business Party.

Editor’s Note: Maybe 15 years ago at one of our monthly blogger meetups, someone who had lived in Cleveland all his life berated me for talking about Roldo Bartimole.

In my 40s, friends who never served in the military started to approach me about my own experiences.
