Our one time GOP governor of Maryland, now running for the Senate, says ...normal sane stuff.
And the GOP cancels him for it! Proof that the GOP has lost all sanity.

| A South Korean guy I ran across on the Web said that the "easiest language for me to learn was, oddly enough, Latin". Not another East Asian language (like you might expect), but Latin. Latin has no kinship to Korean, no common vocabulary, but.. It was easy because Latin and modern Korean ... |

| I felt a surprising sense of relief when I heard about it. Maybe I'm taking things too far, but it felt like a strike against the idea that power and wealth entitle someone to get away with anything they want. Yes. Its a sad embarrassing day for America because...a former POTUS got convicted. But i... |

| Got beat up by a gang of muggers once. Ended up in the emergency room. So I would have to name "homo sapiens" as the species that I had the most dangerous close encounter with. Did see a coiled probable rattlesnake on a hiking trail from a distance once. But gave it a wide berth- if the qu... |
