Meanwhile on the other side of the Lincoln Memorial the algae blooms. They can't fool me. That's not some drainage pipe issue. That's athlete's foot from the UFC locker room. That sacrilegious honors parade was a bad idea. [Politico, sorry]

I was tempted to post this photo last night for my dad but I decided to honor the later, stranger days and be nice but today I have a different context. I'm cutting out early and I haven't heard from Walter Reed yet.

beware of Harlan Crow

Politics is mourning for so many things. We could start with the state of the union and work our way out to the state of the world and even the state of the universe. But I'm looking inward today. The biggest personal enemy I ever had died today. He actually died decades ago but he didn't notice. He became a different person. I still fought him for a long time because he still looked like my dad. It took a very long time for me to acknowledge that he was not the same person. When you have been at war longer than you can remember if is difficult to stop. If you can't catch the political analogy then I don't know what to tell you.

I have no idea why he liked this but he did

I imagine that he was idealizing like I did
