    I can deal with Perry being younger than Book Perry

    I've read the book, but can't remember how old Perry is supposed to be.  I think both A.S. (40) and N.K. (49)

    look younger than their actual ages.

  2. Do FBI agents doing a sting just waltz into a field office in the daytime where anyone can see them.

    I find that as plausible as the Doctor doing such a poor job of research on Patrick.

    I still love the show.

  3. I'm watching it on a streaming site too.  If you don't download it (making a copy) you aren't doing anything illegal.

    That's not my opinion, it is the actual law, so don't feel guilty.

    The show is even weirder and more gruesome than last season, and I haven't decided if I'm going to continue with it.

    It's like The Walking Dead meets Twin Peaks x 10.

    I have no sympathy for Rebecca and her thing about doing something for herself.  She agreed to have children, she doesn't get to play the "Jack talked me into it," card forever.  It's a good long, 18 year minimum, commitment for any parent.  Nobody gets time off. To most of us time for ourselves means getting our hair done once every few months.   Jack doesn't get to go on a fishing vacation for five weeks to Scotland, to have time for himself.  Oh yes, she'd say this is her career, not a hobby, but I think it's a little bit of both, with probably very little earnings. And again, most parents don't get to choose a "fun," career that takes us out at night, when we could probably make more money doing a day job while the kids are in school.

    You said exactly what I was thinking. Why should Jack have to work extra hours to support the family.  And he gave up his dream career.

    I really liked the song at the very beginning sung by Mimi with all the colors and "Jennifer, Sometimes" by Wildwood. If they were real, I'd probably download them from iTunes or Amazon

    So did I. They really did a great job of making them believable songs for 1967.  I'm stuck with "Jennifer, Sometimes" in my head!

    Tahani's final act on earth it could have counteracted a life time of good deeds that were selfishly motivated.

    If everyone currently doing bad things for selfish reasons started doing good things for selfish reasons
    we'd be living in a much better world.

    I am old - very old - and I don't think you young folks are stupid.  I do, however, think you could use your advanced education and superior access to information to do SOMETHING.  Even us old stoners managed the occasional sit-in.  :-)

    After seeing JFK, Bobby and MLK get assassinated and seeing NIxon get elected, we were frightened like so many of you are now.  Then we got mad and got moving.  America didn't end. Democracy didn't end.  And it wont happen now as long as you don't give up or give in.  Keep protesting. Just bring flowers instead of baseball bats.

    My anxiety comes from wanting to have Camille Paglia's columns printed off and handed out to people.

    I've been familiar with Camille for decades; we're the same age.  I admire her for sticking with her own views no matter

    how unpopular or in my opinion misguided.  She can't stand Hillary. She can't find one positive thing to say about her, but does find

    good things to say about Trump.  That is not and never will be my kind of "feminism".

     

    My beliefs are far more in line with Bernie's than with Hillary's.  But, he is too far to the left to have had any chance.  No true liberal is going to

    get elected in this country.  I found that out when much to my shock that wonderful man with the great ideas, George McGovern lost.

  9. From the NBC  website:

    Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to be wearing her dissent "jabot" on Wednesday —one day after an incredibly divisive and contentious presidential campaign ended in the election of Donald Trump.

    When the justices took the bench this morning Ginsburg appeared to be wearing her "dissent" jabot.

    Ginsburg wore the embellished collar ruffle meant to show disagreement and stray from the majority opinion on decisions before the high court. But there were no court decisions slated to go out on Wednesday.

    Votecastr projections: Clinton up early in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin

    Early model projections show Hillary Clinton leading in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin.

    Of the seven states observed Tuesday morning by Votecastr, a company founded by Obama and Bush campaign veterans, Trump only leads in one state, which hasn’t gone red since 1988: Pennsylvania.

    Trump’s 7-point lead, however, is only among the 3.4 percent of votes that have been observed in the state, which doesn’t allow early voting.

    I guess "bully" is going to be used in situations from pigtail pulling to suicide.  No one means to trivialize the latter.

    I would use "tormented" for more serious situations.

    On that note, what can you do to protect yourself? I have a substantial 403 B account at work. I'm nowhere near an age where I can withdraw from it. I'm seriously concerned that if Trump prevails, I will have nothing for my retirement.

    I'm living on a small fixed income.  Whatever "extra" bucks I could squeeze out of my budget, I've invested in Hillary.  Just getting an email from

    Joe Biden made it worthwhile !
