speaking of olds: A record number of folks age 85 and older are working. Here’s what they’re doing. quote:Nobody questions whether older workers can make a difference. After all, some of America’s most prominent workers are around 85. The oldest Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is 85. Rupert Murdoch is 87. So are George Soros, Warren Buffett and Toni Morrison. lol

The son of Mothers. The father of Daughters. The brother of Sisters. The nephew of Aunts. The uncle of Nieces. The well-wisher who just gets a gift certificate at the baby shower because he doesn't really know you that well, honestly. Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we've got.

I thought Holden Caulfield was a whiny douche when I was 15 and I doubt I'd feel any different now or is it like an It's Always Sunny type deal where the point is you know he's an rear end in a top hat

The point is selfishness and hypocrisy and how hard learning that you're doing that is. Um. Yes. That annoying character you've described was intended.

Let's remember that Stein presides over an organization of literal tinfoil hat-wearers, their "party" get-togethers are truly embarrassments. She campaigned on "both sides are the same" when that could not be more obvious horseshit, and had an execrable platform even by third-party standards. We know Putin has his tentacles into fringe figures on the left (Oliver Stone has become his puppet) because they are desperate for their own source of wingnut welfare. We know she's been doing PR for the Kremlin's stance on the Ukraine, for example. In a world where the fringe left doesn't have its own TV network in order to perpetuate and strengthen itself, the most shameless of them can be bought.
