Tom Perez, eh? I was thinking that a younger dude like Canada’s Justin Trudeau would be the new leader of the Democratic Party. I mean, really, aren’t there enough bald or gray heads in power these days? But, hey, I’m not a Democrat. Many years ago, I registered as a Dem so I could vote in a primary for a woman who was running for re-election as mayor. We don’t have open primaries here in Connecticut so I had to go to Town Hall and sign up as a donkey party member. My candida

The other day at one

I listened to the trump press conference yesterday almost all the way home from Stamford. I was with a bunch of cartoonist friends who are smart, informed, funny, committed and talented among so many other fine qualities. It was a culture shock to listen for an hour to that loathsome pile of excrement, the fake president, occupying the White House. Even Fox News Channel’s few enlightened TV talkers are appalled.
