SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ― Mark Twain (A discussion of this quote’s possibly-erroneous attribution to Twain can be found here.)
“The Little Boy and the Old Man Said the little boy, “Sometimes I drop my spoon.”
Said the old man, “I do that too.”
The little boy whispered, “I wet my pants.”
I do that too,” laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, “I often cry.”
The old man nodded, “So do I.”
But worst of all,” said the boy, “it seems
Grown-ups don’t pay attention to me.”
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
I know what you mean,” said the little old man.”
― Shel Silverstein

This is something I’ve given a lot of thought to in the last few weeks, and I think I have some new ideas about what’s going on with the Democrats.
My estimations … I think that Alan Grayson and Anthony Weiner may be the core around which will coalesce a new kind of Democrat and a new kind of Democratic Party.
If Anthony Weiner is the intellect of this new kind of Democrat, I think that Alan Grayson is, if I may crudely analogize, the balls. Continue reading →
