LUCKY!

It's always a thrill!

I can't give you the address, but I can get it to him if you are serious.

( a flood of du mail rushes in to DFW )

But last time I offered something like this, someone wanted to get a letter to Helen Thomas, who was a good friend of our family. The DUer in question and I communicated by PM, I gave an address in the Washington area to send it to, and I delivered it to Helen the next time I was in DC. To this day, I have no idea what it said. The people whose address I gave were nice enough to hold it for me, and that way, there was no flood of mail to deal with.

Near the river sort of by the warehouse district.

Do know Al was active in seeing that development happen. Kind of his area to live in. Got the Deli's on Hennipen and the Theaters a few blocks away.

It's so punny!

I'm hanging out at the wrong places.

On 26th and Lyndale. A while back I used to see him and his daughter at Uptown Lund's when she was living in the neighborhood.

My regular hangout is Sunstreet Breads on 46th and Nicollet. I wish Al would come there; it's frequented by nice liberal Trump-haters.

Loads of signs like All are welcome, gender is fluid, and homelessness, etc. Great lox and bagels.

...in the well of the Senate, too!

He was very personable in my interaction with him.

I would have been absolutely thrilled!

I saw him and felt I had to say something.

Where I live you can't get a decent bagel.

This place makes excellent bagels. I go there most Saturdays to pick up the lox with everything on an onion bagel for me and Mrs. Geardaddy.

The first time I went into a place in a nearby town that sold bagels, I asked them if they had egg bagels. They said:

Sure, do you want your egg fried or scrambled?

Pics or it didn't happen.

I didn't want to bother him further.

Thank you for speaking for all of us.
I miss him, too, and I know that I am far from alone.
You did good. You said just the right thing, and so did Al.

I felt like I was speaking for more than just myself.

...speaking for many.

Mae angen iddo glywed bod !

Roedd rhaid i mi deud rhywbeth!

Ac rwy'n siwr Al yn rhy.

No hearing, no nothing for Sen. Franken.

She helped take away my voice in the Senate.

But we only have room to blame one.

Not Klobuchar, as she had the decency to deliver her sentiments, wrong as I think they were, out of the public eye. But those Democratic Senators who jumped on the public bandwagon will not get a cent from me during the primary season. Not without a public apology to Al, anyway, and I'm betting not a one of them has the guts to be the first (and is therefore not presidential material in my eye).

On the other hand, that freed up some money I had earmarked for some early primary contributions, so I just sent $500 to Ohio Planned Parenthood. Just 1199 more like me nationwide, and we can make up the deficit left by Kasich's effort to defund them.

I blame them all for not allowing an investigation for something that was obviously ratfucking by Zippy the Pinhead, et al.

I don't know about the other 4, but Klobuchar pointedly refused to sign.

Maybe if we're lucky we can get rober mueller iii to investigate.

I'll vote for whomever the Democratic candidate is but gillibrand is dead to me otherwise as well.

Who the fuck are we kidding? trump is in for another term anyway. mueller just proved that. Then the statute of limitations runs out for all of the "president's" crimes and he pardons everyone else.

Mission accomplished. Welcome to the new world order. The new American century. A pseudo-Christian radical religious totalitarian state that will make the taliban and isis look like liberals by comparison.

Who's first in the detention camps? Don't everyone raise your hands at once.

He would have been running for POTUS, taking Trump's attacks head on and ridiculing them in such a way that even Trumpanzees would understand.

veggie cream cheese, then he's my man! That is my Sunday delight from the bagel place...

But your selection sounds delish!

No reminders needed on the folksi blame.

Every NY'er knows the lingo

I had ordered my usual onion bagel with lox and fixings (gotta have those capers!) and was waiting for my to go order when he walked in. I'm sure he knows how to order a bagel the right way after all his time in NYC, and growing up in a Jewish household in St. Louis Park, MN.

May it become a bonfire!

He can legitimately claim NY as a residence. If he would move there, and challenge Gillibrand in the primary, I would leave Arizona and campaign for him.

Stick it to her shit-headedness.....

(BTW...does she really think any PRIMARY voters would support her for President?? REALLY?? Or is she as delusional as Tulsi Gabbard??)

Al should run for presnit someday. I wish he were running this cycle.

He would ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THE FUCKING TRAITOR IN THE WH in any debates.

money to watch those two debate one another. I can’t think too much about the way he was taken down because it riles me up again and makes me sick. Democrats have just got to stop apologizing for stuff they never did. We could take a page out of the Republican handbook and not throw our best and brightest under the bus.

......and ended up at an event next to Walter Mondale's place near the Lake of the Isles (If I'm not mistaken, I believe that has a different name now?). At any rate, it was a thrill to meet him. I'm sure I would've felt the same about running into Al. He was indeed shafted.

He explains how government works in a clear and humorous way.

Especially like this: "During the 2012 campaign, Republicans and their lackeys in the media like to claim that Obama 'owned the Congress for the first two years. They did everything he wanted.' ... Chris Wallace of Fox News put it this way: 'The first two years, he had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.' I think they kept using this talking point specifically to drive me insane. The truth is that we held a filibuster-proof majority from September 24, 2009 (when Paul Kirk was sworn in), until February 4, 2010 when Scott Brown was sworn in -- all of four months and ten days."
