Golden . . .

Golden we were
All that we touched
Turned in a favorable tide
Life, but we know,
Brings what it may
Think of yourself
But don’t do it too much
Pressing your luck
Go too far

Prosperity
Honestly won
No one can say
They begrudge
What is the cost
Turns out to be
Too much for us
More than we want to spare
All that we care
About will fade

Money, guns, the planet may be
Money, guns, the planet we should think about

Money is just
Root of all bad
That hasn’t changed
Over time
Guns that we need
Certainly has
Now we must act
To preserve our own lives

Money, Guns; The Planet

Dear . . .

. . . venue . . .

With the 2019 season now over, I am writing to acquaint you with OHO 's music and in hopes of a performance opportunity during the off-season and/or spots on your 2020 calendar. . . OHO began as a Baltimore underground band that came out of nowhere and played music the chroniclers swore was years ahead of its time. Due in part to a sense of humor and an 'unerring humanity,' OHO, like The Dude, abides. After more than forty years of evolution and refinement, current OHO (now consisting of founders Jay Graboski and David Reeve, reunited with long-time musical collaborator Ray Jozwiak) now cranks out a bevy of thought-provoking original material blended with some classics and sophisticated covers-an intelligent alternative to the 'staple' Delmarva cover band repertoire. A sample of OHO’s recent activities can be seen and heard at http://www.ohomusic.com. . . I can send you a digital downloadable files (via WeTransfer) or a digital [CD Baby.com] download card (via USPS) of our latest band release GAZEBO upon your request or meet with you at your convenience. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Coming . . .

. . . soon

. . . to YOUR theatre . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democratic-impeachment-holdouts-grapple-rising-pressure-n1058761)

". . . Over the course of the past week, most (House Democratic caucus) holdouts (all of which represented districts Trump won in 2016 had been notably reluctant to speak (on impeachment of Trump), with some ignoring or literally running from questions. . . . Reps. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., Lucy McBath, D-Ga., and Sharice Davids, D-Kansas, for instance, deflected queries from NBC News on Wednesday by directing reporters to contact their offices, which proved no more interested in responding: they did not return requests for comment. . .

In Case . . .

. . . you didn't know . . .

(from https://www.emptywheel.net/2019/09/26/the-definition-of-collusion-as-impeachment-proceeds-the-risk-trump-poses-to-all-americans/)
". . . There is an impact that Trump’s “collusion” and corruption have on everyday Americans, whether they wear pussy hats or MAGA caps, an impact that Democrats have permitted Republicans to obscure. Trump’s actions effectively rob Americans of the powerful executive on foreign policy issues that our Constitution very imperfectly sought to ensure, without stripping the weakened Trump of the tools he can wield to punish those who call him on his weakness. . .Because he always self-deals, Trump has made himself an intolerably weak President, one who makes the US less secure at every step. Republicans defending him need to be held accountable for weakening the US. . ."

Senator . . .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmC-4u7dwm8

(from https://www.sasse.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/about and https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-critic-rising-gop-star-ben-sasse-now-trump-apologist-ncna1056926)
". . . Ben Sasse is a fifth-generation Nebraskan with the honor of representing the Cornhusker state in the U.S. Senate. Having never run for anything before, he and his family campaigned tirelessly in a rickety old campaign bus in 2013 and 2014, ultimately winning all of Nebraska's 93 counties in one of the biggest landslides in state history. . . Ben Sasse got the Trump tweet he gave up so much to get. “Senator Ben Sasse has done a wonderful job representing the people of Nebraska,” President Donald Trump tweeted. “He is great with our Vets, the Military, and your very important Second Amendment. Strong on Crime and the Border, Ben has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”. . . it is easy to see Sasse’s surrender as both inevitable and predictable: this is, after all, Trump’s party, and colleagues who refused to bend the knee have been defeated — like Mark Sanford — or forced into retirement — like Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Bob Corker. . . If Sasse had remained anti-Trump, he would have faced a primary challenge and possible defeat; a presidential bid would likely have been a kamikaze mission. So he chose survival; another six years in the Senate that gives him a chance to actually outlast the Trump presidency, whenever it ends. . ."
