I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you about Rebellion Stonewall that aired Sunday night. But through the magic of technology, you can watch it anyway — and without the commercials, so just 45 minutes — by clicking that link and signing in via your cable service or Hulu or whatever. It’s really good.
And […]
[Hey! Don’t forget: second quarterly estimated tax due today.]
But first:
Why Andrew Yang Matters — you read about him here first!
Justice Kavanaugh Wants Us To Know He’s Won (thanks, Glenn — you’ve ruined my day).

Once the guys leave Sunday night to “go to work” (a concept with which I’ve grown increasingly unfamiliar), I spend Monday through Friday eating whatever they’ve left behind.

John Seiffer: “Regarding Gloria’s comment on food waste. 412 Food Rescue is a great organization in Pittsburgh — and is expanding nationwide.

Suggested here nine years ago at $1.25, I sold most of my EMIS at $9.75 yesterday. Sometimes, patience pays off. Buy when everyone else thinks it’s hopeless — like SPRT last week? (I bought more at $1.65) — but only with money you can truly afford to lose, because all too often everyone […]
Here’s a seven-minute PBS preview you may find uplifting. I know one of these former inmates. He is a fine guy who, as a kid, made one terrible mistake.
As a nation, we could “do” criminal justice so much better. Here’s just one example — 22 years in prison, and counting.

Hey, so I see BOREF dipped below $5 for a minute yesterday and is not much higher than it was 20 years ago when I first bought some just north of $3 a share (and first wrote about it a few months later).
You can read the January 3, 2019 Chairman’s letter in […]
It touches on our Middle East policy, Russia, the DeVos family, Blackwater, the Republican National Committee — everything.
Watch!
And then consider the contrast.
Do you remember how outraged Bush 43 […]
Under four minutes. Amazing. (Thanks, Alan.)
I have a 1937 Mills nickel slot machine — a “one-armed bandit” like this one — that’s kind of beautiful but got jammed and now doesn’t take nickels. (Any ideas?)
