Paul Craig Roberts - why am I agreeing with him so much lately?
Submitted by arendt on Sat, 12/09/2017 - 7:45pmDr. Roberts is an economist who had a cabinet level position under Reagan.

Real cold day when Republicans might save us.

Bernie Sanders predicts Republican response to 2017 tax bill
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Fri, 12/08/2017 - 8:23pmWhile probably none of us here totally agree with everything Bernie says, I think most of us would unhesitatingly agree that there is no finer practitioner of the art of discomforting Republicans than he.

Still feeling blue about losing Oscar, but little Fred is injecting fun around the household. Thank goodness he sleeps once in a while.
