A little birdie in DC told me that ReTHUGs are in a state of stunned incredulity because

of Cory Booker’s 25 hour plus marathon response to their authoritarian Jim Crow and handmaiden agenda.

Big up Booker.

It feels like victory. A small victory, perhaps, but also one of the most gratifying.

It sounds like it's given the good side a shot in the arm. That's something we really needed.

The combination of Senator Booker's outstanding speech, the big victory in Wisconsin and yesterday's defeat of those terrible tariffs have made these last two days happy ones.

But apparently fasting is a good practice for your memory. It clears toxins. I even know where I read this, so I may return to this post with a source.

Especially when most everyone else is doing what James Carville recommends: Play Dead.

Gee. Now that I think of it, Old Carville and his friends do well no matter how crappy things get for everyone else. Again.
