Is our time and most of all our attention. They will pay a lot of money for it.

Andrea Mitchell is never worth trading that hour of our one wild and precious day.

The Summer Day
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean-
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
—Mary Oliver

the campaign up until now. I couldn't take her eyerolls regarding Hillary anymore. I prefer reading the news plus I don't have to hear the idiot in the WH.

next to the computer, so I can Duckduckgo any questionable statements. Sometimes I turn up the sound.

I mean, I don't actually support heckling people out of restaurants for the most part (which I know many here disagree with, that's fine, reasonable people can differ). But the heckling is occurring because people are personally upset, and they don't feel that they have any recourse, and it's verbal, not violent. There's also a direct cause and effect (people upset about Kavanaugh, feeling powerless, run into someone who could have stalled or prevented the nomination, ore at least examined it, but didn't).

These wide-ranging assassination attempts are in a different category altogether, and if Andrea Mitchell can't the events apart, her journalism credentials should be revoked.

It's bad enough drawing equivalency between Proud Boys screaming nonsense at Pelosi (such as calling her a communist) and people shouting at those who are doing serious harm to life and the natural environment. Now we're talking about sending bombs to people. Bombs!
