Panhandle Slim…

Yesterday, I got a letter from an insurance company telling me someone filed a claim against me for the car accident I was in back in October. I was pretty angry when I talked to their claims department — I said it was a three-car accident, a hit-and-run according to witnesses, and that neither I nor their insured driver could remember what happened. I said if he claimed he was northbound while I was southbound, odds are, he hit me.

I also said I had pictures of both sides of my car — the driver side pushed in from the original impact, the right front passenger side crushed from spinning out and hitting the bridge. If I hit his claimant, I said to the claims person, why are there no other impacts on my car?

I still don’t remember exactly what happens; I think I had a slight concussion. But this guy didn’t remember anything, either. Now I’m wondering if he hit me in the first place.

It’s difficult for people who have never had them to understand a migraine isn’t just a really bad headache.

It has been many moons since there was a genuinely brokered convention. I’ve seen the 1976 GOP Ford-Reagan duel called that but it all came down to one rule vote and one delegation: Mississippi. The 1960 Democratic convention was technically open but the Kennedy forces were able to convince most of the bosses to jump on… Continue Reading »

I don’t want to rub it in, but geeze, will you look at the difference when Hillary Clinton was interviewed by the New York Daily News ed board?

Here’s Bernie’s as a reminder.

I’m gonna guess his staffers wanted desperately to prep him for that interview, but he blew them off. (The word commonly used to describe him among Hill staffers is “arrogant.”)

People are blaming AngryBernie on his top aides, but I met Sanders years ago at mtg in the Senate. He came off as angry and full of himself.

This is the description I’ve heard, over and over. When even Barney Frank complains…

I’m in the house where I grew up, sleeping in my old bedroom. I hear loud party noises, and when I go out in the hall to investigate, there are a bunch of people who are friends of my father, co-workers, etc. who are meeting my dad to take him somewhere for some kind of celebration.

I see my mother and complain, “Mom, it’s the middle of the night!” She just shrugs.

Also: I’m in the downstairs restaurant of a very large, expensive apartment building with Sarah Jessica Parker and her friends. She hands me a designer dress and asks me to put it back in her room. I make it to the apartment and notice the furniture is all very beautiful, including a large round dining table with a metallic-threaded blanket thrown over it for a tableclothe.

And this is why we vote for Democrats. Unbelievably, Republicans are just planning to ignore this, like they did with global warming:

Washington (dpa) – Calling what they’ve learned since focusing on the Zika virus “not reassuring,” US health officials said Monday the illness brings a “broader set of complications” for pregnant women than first thought. “Everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we initially thought,” said Anne Schuchat of the… Continue Reading »
