Some relatively light news
I wanted this to be something less onerous than what I said yesterday about Biden and Ukraine.
Now, the People's Party was starting to look kind of sketchy about a year ago. But Cornel West is fun, and it's quite clear that the fundamental problem of American politics is the complete atrophy of political imagination, and that another "someone running for President" could contribute to an overhaul of our pitifully inadequate political imaginary here in the US. Of course, this overhaul would have to start by Cornel West being someone more than the Cornel West of the past, and more specifically that Cornel West's campaign would have to be something more than West's pursuance of his own habits as driven by his self-image.
But, as I've suggested before, let a thousand non-Joe-Bidens bloom.

that sounds like a relatively miserable evaluation /nt
talking is silver, silence is golden
Krystal and Saagar are sizing up West

love the image of a thousand non-bidens blooming
in the fields of our imaginations
like poppies ..
There is no hope
of recovering control of our government through the election process.
Only outside forces are capable of doing that through creative destruction of the existing regime.
IMHO
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Oh, not by itself, no.

I'm ok with West running
though it's hard to break past our two party system, he would have needed to get organized in 50 states earlier. Always good to have more choices. Needs a haircut.
