The Lincoln Project – “Zero Sum Game”

[The Cloud Converter seems to get more popular every day… but the line moves fast enough.]
While you are sleeping Republicans across the country are attempting to turn Trump’s mega nastiness into the law. Bills that would dramatically impact access to your constitutional rights to a ballot, laws that would restrict vote by mail, even make giving water to those waiting in line to vote illegal. Why? Why would Republicans make this the spine of their party? They said it in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. The only way they can combat the Democrats’ Voting advantage is to play dirty. Politics is a zero sum game. Because that’s what this is to them – a game. While you work, while you pray, while you’re fighting for your families, the fight for democracy goes on.

Justice Matters – Democracy Matters – Can’t hurt.

Why Do We Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? | National Geographic – My theory is that “we” – now meaning people all overt he world, although it was in the U.S. that it really got big – celebrate it because it always falls in Lent, and, being a celebration, exempts one from fasting for that day. The same is true of Saint Joseph (March 19), though that didn’t take off as much, probably because he wasn’t associated with a group that shines at PR.)

This seems to me like going to ridiculous extremes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Who knew walruses cared?

The ultimate telemarketer prank. Good thing the script is all on screen. The announcers are laughing so hard it’s a challenge to hear.
