Cuomo and Other Things

• There are several Democratic governors who are worth admiring and even putting forth as presidential material. Andrew Cuomo is not one of them. I couldn't believe how many of my liberal friends in 2020 were putting him out there as an unbeatable Democratic presidential nominee. Please stop it. He never was or will be anything but a bad governor.

• Today is a good illustration of why I say Political Correctness (as well as wokeness, cancel culture, etc.) is not a thing. The unhinged Right finds and condemns PC-ness in every corner of America. But Rush Limbau dies and they are invoking it as a wonderful thing to be practiced with vigor.

• Wanted: A Republican officeholder who is willing to take responsibility for something. Anything at all.

• For a long time now, I have been having a hard time getting my head around why eliminating the filibuster is some sort of sinister evilness. Even without the filibuster, the Senate is an inherently undemocratic body.  It was at the country's founding and has become more so as new demographiics have evolved over the years. With the filibuster, the institution is even more obscenely undemocratic.
  
  In short, I can't see how making the Senate more democratic is a bad thing. And no one has been able to convince me otherwise so far.
