SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“What we’re discovering is that the Constitution is not a mechanism that runs by itself. Ultimately, we are a government of men and not law. The law has no force without people who are willing to enforce it. The ball is now squarely in the court of the Republican Party, and particularly Senate Republicans. Will they ever be prepared to say enough is enough?” ~ William A. Galston, a senior fellow in governance at the Brookings Institution who graduated from college just before Watergate.

SIGNOFF QUOTE:
“A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” ~ This quote has been attributed to Mark Twain, but it has never been verified as originating with Twain. This quote may have originated with Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) who attributed it to an old proverb in a sermon delivered on Sunday morning, April 1, 1855. Spurgeon was a celebrated English fundamentalist Baptist preacher. His words were: “A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.”
POSSIBLE TOPICS: Obama cancels meeting with ‘colorful’ Philippine president, North Korean Missile Launches, Krugman on Hillary, Clinton Foundation vs Trump Foundation, Trump and Bondi in Florida, GOP and Voter Suppression,

ELECTION DAY IS COMING! Register AND Vote!: VOTER & Political Info And Resources
“If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to suppress it!”
I was flattered to be asked to guest co-host, with Egberto Willies, Geoff Berg’s show, Partisan Gridlock. Geoff does a great show, and it obviously took two of us to try to replace him. Egberto and I had a great time, and we hope we’ll be invited back when needed.
