Isn’t it about time we stop building these presidential libraries?
Most of our ex-presidents retire and get rich giving speeches and “consulting.” Isn’t that enough of a post-presidency perk?
If we must spend taxpayer money on libraries, let’s use it to construct regular libraries in poor neighborhoods, and stop building expensive shrines to these dudes.

Fire or Ice
I live in Minnesota and have endured scores of winters here. Last year was especially brutal, with bone-chilling temperatures that went on for weeks. This morning, November 2, I woke up to this depressing sight:
A few days ago I saw this headline:
What if the global-warming people have it backwards and Earth is about to turn into a giant ice-cube? I believe there was a Twilight Zone episode about something like that.

Quid Pro Quo, or, “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours”
Silly me. I assumed this is a tactic that’s commonplace among all politicians, presidents, and other people with power.
Sorry, but Democrats seeking impeachment based on quid pro quo strikes me as a continuation of their three-year temper-tantrum-fueled crusade to oust Trump.
It appears that Dems are trying to boot Trump because, unlike predecessors Clinton, Bush, and Obama, Trump is a social bonehead. (OK, OK – Bush came close.)
Unfortunately for Nancy Pelosi and company, being a social bonehead is hardly a high crime or misdemeanor.
Plus, you are conducting secret impeachment meetings based on testimony from a secret whistleblower and if anyone in the public squawks about this, your reply is “just trust us.”
Uh … sure.

Disgraced California Rep. Katie Hill is blaming her affair(s) with subordinate(s) on the patriarchy and/or misogyny.
My guess is that if her nudes were hot, she’d still be in office. Instead, we had to see this:
Also … who at the Daily Mail did that black-bar censoring of Katie’s crotch? A third grader?

Gene Hackman, Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery ….
Usually when a long time goes by without our hearing from or about some big movie star, it means it won’t be long before we’re reading an obituary.
Haven’t heard squat from these guys in quite awhile ….

According to The Daily Caller, the guy pictured above is a “Hollywood superstar.” Guess I need to pay more attention to pop culture.
