Question:
(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/will-sanders-long-ago-praise-socialist-regimes-hurt-democrats-november-n1139811)
". . . Will Bernie Sanders' long-ago praise of Socialist regimes hurt Democrats in November?
If Sanders is the nominee, some Democrats worry Trump will hammer him on his long-buried words in defense of governments in Nicaragua, Cuba and the USSR. . . "?

Answer:
No.
(from s://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/05/the-tragedy-of-trumps-foreign-policy/)

". . . Trump did have some valid and important insights into America’s current problems and he had a chance to do something about them when he got elected. That opportunity has been wasted, however, and Trump’s flaws as a politician, strategist, and human being are the main reason why. . . Trump and Bernie Sanders were the only candidates to acknowledge that globalization was not delivering as promised, and his message resonated with lower- and middle-class Americans who were deeply worried about lost jobs, flat income growth, and lax immigration controls. . . Trump’s vanity, stubbornness, poor taste in advisors, and other deficiencies of character have led to repeated disappointments at home and abroad. . . "  [Plus, unlike the boisterous incumbent, Sanders is a principled and articulate thinking man who can honestly respond to an inquiry about a position he held 35 years ago.]

Question . . .

If you google:

"qualifications for the job of u.s. president?"

you receive 'about 173,000,000 results'


Essentially, all you get, over and over again- is:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident ...


The requirement for this job would appear to require A LITTLE BIT MORE than merely these. . .
(the requirements for my last job were much more involved than this)

Reflecting . . .

. . . on others' reflections . . .


(from http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/hitherthither.html by Gary T. Marx)

". . . There are many reasons for reflecting back on one’s life. The pleasures of good memories and nostalgia; revisiting people and places that were formative in one’s development; musing about roads not taken and imagining what might have happened if they had been; answering the question who am I now and how does that connect with who I was at the beginning of a career; finding the knowledge (or perhaps just new beliefs and interpretations) that can emerge from straining a career through five decades of experience; and channeling one’s lingering narcissistic needs into a socially acceptable form under the rationale of leaving a record for family, friends and fellow travelers. Furthermore, if it is correct as Eli Wiesel observes in Night that we are our memories then involvement with them is fundamental to our sense of self. . . Such reflections are like reversing the vista of a telescope by looking in the wrong end,—taking in the width of a life and narrowing it to one’s present. We can’t with much certitude turn to an unknown future. But the cornucopia of a lifetime’s memories, however blurry, faded and selective are there to be worked with. . ."

Passwords . . .

. . .  in this cyber-culture are becoming a burden . . . to say the least. . . 

IF you happen to lose you password list for some reason, you'll be asked if you "Forgot your UserName" and/or "Forgot Your Password which will inevitably draw you into a cat-and-mouse game of either having an email sent to you which provides instructions for re-setting your password, or answering security question(S) [yes, that's a BIG "S"] which you may or may not have actually setup yourself or which may also have been included on that list of passwords or, worse yet, a different list of security questions which, for some odd reason, you have ALSO lost!!!

Exactly . . .

. . . what we need?????


Cowboy justice
Is just exactly what we need
Twice as effective
As mercy now for which they plead
If I can't get you
To see things the way I do
Something happens
I start the process see it through
It's what I've been taught to do
And I'll teach you

No one tells me
Just what I can or cannot do
My advisers
Some say are keepers of this zoo
I don't mind if
You think that what they say is real
I'm in charge here
At least that's how they make me feel
That's a part of the deal
And it came true

Gotta see it my way
I'm giving the people what I want
It's a price I must pay
We cowboys know how to be gallant

There's no question
Of right or wrong here to debate
Disagree though
You'll be subjected to the hate
That's inflicted
On members of the team like you
Cause we cowboys
Will never worry if we're few
Our justice is true
Make no mistake


Cowboy Justice

They're At It Again. . .

. . . or should I say "NOT" at it again . . .

. . . Murrow is turning over in his grave. . .


The Washington Post wrote that an NBC-WSJ showed that seven in 10 people agreed with the statement that Republicans are “putting their own political agenda ahead of what is good for the country”.  At the other end, only 27 percent said that the GOP is “demonstrating strong leadership and standing up for what they believe in.”

House Republicans repeatedly said that their efforts to derail the Affordable Care Act were in response to the wishes of the American people.

WHAT American People????  I shouted at the radio or television every time I heard it.

Why didn't our dear friends in the press, who daily bring us the mealy-mouths and pasty faces of these cartoonish "public servants", ASK THIS QUESTION???

I think the outcome of this debacle answers MY question.

Sharp. . .

. . . no, I am not criticizing the Miss America beauty contestant Marissa Powell, who fumbled her answer to a question about equal pay for women.  I mean THE PRESS.

The media quickly called Miss Utah for her comically rambling response to the question, which by the way she has handled superbly to her own benefit.  But on a daily basis, we are bombarded by the confounding eloquence of Boehners, Mitchells, Reids, Pauls, Dingells, Rangels, Waxmans, Grahams, Ryans and others, which the press dutifully reports to us verbatum and without question.

Marissa Powell for Congress?

Too Much . . .

. . . wisdom?

. . . can't happen. . . 

 “The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.”
-H. L. Mencken


“When men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them.  When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are so to be called, will be the same.”
-Alexander Hamilton
