Today might be the day hell freezes over. First of all, remember that it's going to get hellishly cold this weekend, at least here on the east coast. OK, I'm going to ask Howie Klein about his article posted at DownWithTyranny.com titled "In Defense of Chuck Schumer". https://www.downwithtyranny.com/post/in-defense-of-chuck-schumer Seriously.

Extreme Capitalism" https://www.downwithtyranny.com/post/music-biz-has-deteriorated-not-because-of-the-artists-but-because-of-extreme-capitalism Congress is once again on recess, and Stephen Breyer finally decided to retire from the Supreme Court, opening the door for Mitch McConnell to again try to steal another US Supreme Court seat from the Democrats.
