  1. It pains me that we are going to be subjected to any revival of Blago the “con man.” He will come up with some quote while his wife, who escaped being charged with a felony, will “stand my her man.” Both are shameless. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Hopefully history will have the final say on this lazy crook.

  2. When Blago was in town and blathering on the media, I would have to turn the volume down or switch channels. Please send him to Serbia, it is bad enough that after four years of radio silence Rahm returns from Japan to go back on the air ways. Of course it will be on CNN, so who listens anyhow.

  3. Another great podcast
    Also read the 2 articles by your brother and learned alot
    My one wish is that he comment on what Israel should or could do differently since I see no alternative to their present course of action.
    BTW, joining you in Indiana soon though closer to Indianapolis

  4. Another great movie from 1946:
    “The Best Days of Our Lives”
    About 3 servicemen who return after World War II and face the changes around their hometown.
    The scene that always tears me up is when Dana Andrews, a bombardier Captain and war hero, visits a bone yard with miles of empty WWII planes.
    He climbs up into the cockpit of a B17 and has PTSD moments.
    Also, Harold Russell who lost both hands in the war is outstanding.
    Frederic March faces a banking world that has no idea what veterans endured.
    Greer Garson is not in this movie but the great Myrna Loy is!
