Overheard


It's hard to watch all these beautiful things get swept away, and to see all the wrong things growing in their place.

But listen - listen - we have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us.  We have to find the courage to be the beautiful things.

Drawing Contrasts


Mind you, I've never been a Biden fan. There's just too much about the guy that rubs me the wrong way.

That said, he's a good and decent man - capable and competent - and I have to give him props where it's due.

Here's one:

He took a 10-hour train trip across a country at war, and entered Kyiv when it was under almost daily missile attack. Then he took that same train 10 hours back, and he did all that without benefit of air cover, or a Special Ops unit to look after him.

So he's not my favorite hero, but at least he didn't hide in a fucking beverage cart, leaving dozens of press and crew and staffers to serve as decoys while he tucked tail and ran.

Fuck that Trump guy.
