I’m intending to hard copy a letter to the Times castigating them for journalistic incompetence and submitting my termination of subscription. On the other hand, I only pay $4 per month special rate. It would have no effect on them.
Busy as things move along during this hot miserable summer of ‘24,’ I’m reminded that you plan a beautiful garden of vegetable and flower plants. Watering and enriching the soil and the plants are growing nicety. But leave it to a democrat to muck things up. We’ve been mucking things up in our metaphorical garden for a quarter century or more. And the question begs to be asked, “When will we stop mucking things up?” Answer: Probably never because after all, we are democrats. And democrats just have a nack of mucking things up.
I would rather be a member of a party that debates and dedicates itself to free speech than to one where you must be loyal to a king/czar/dictator or pay the consequences.
The vast majority of Democrats will vote for whoever the nominee for president is. Biden or someone else. In the meantime we will squabble like a big family. But in the end the food is great and we hug each other before heading home.
I see freedom of expression and vigorous debate within a party as a strength and something to be proud of. The other guys? A bunch of cowering cowards who started out trashing Trump and now bend over to kiss his ring.
There is nothing to be admired in the mindless, lockstep unity of the MAGANAZIS. But what we should be emulating is their long term planning for governing dominance. We have been asleep at the switch while Leonard Leo and Co. have stolen the judiciary. That is the big "muckup".
Good analogy, Bill. It is almost as if we have organic gardeners, flower gardeners, native plant gardeners, grow the biggest tomato gardeners, orchid gardeners, competitive lawn grower gardeners, all trying to coalesce into one garden party...
Bill -- There's power in numbers. Many of us have dropped The NY Times over the past couple of years. And it's the advertising dollars that speak volumes to the Publisher.
As I comment elsewhere here, subscriptions to cable TV are dropping like a rock. The first quarter of 2024 saw the largest loss of subscribers in a single quarter -- EVER. Only about 53 million households now have cable compared to over 100 million at the peak.
I tried to quit Spectrum several months ago and they actually pay me, $10/month not to cancel by not charging for cable and reducing my Internet charge by $10/month.
My point is -- Who is pay attention to what is going on out there at this point in the election cycle? I know we all are and we get our information from HCR.

No really.

Ohhhhh…. I thought you were never going to interact.
Well I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my almost 100 year old friends
A chance to share old memories
And play our songs again
But it’s all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself
Oh great, now I have that Ricky Nelson song stuck in my head. :)

Now I do to because of you. I didn’t much like it when it came out but you know time passes. I like it.
Wasn't my stuff at the time either. But my sister was ga ga for him.
Now? Not so bad. Reminds of simpler times.
The back story is interesting. Written because the audience wanted him to musically stay in the 1950s
Agree Bill. As the famous Will Rogers said, "I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."
Unfortunately true-we don't have the maturity to stay focused on the prize. We all need to support Biden and win this damn election or we're toast!
