OK time for some much needed Menckin Levity

" as democracy is perfected the office of the president more and more reflects the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks will achieve their hearts desire and the office of the president will be occupied by a downright moron" H.L. Mencken

That's what we got

Brian Tyler Cohen's clip below made me feel better:



I constantly have to remind myself that America is an experiment, working towards a more perfect union. We've only been a nation for 250 years. We haven't been through wars on our home turf (except Pearl Harbor & Twin Tower attacks) & authoritarian rule.
We need to stay engaged and fight another day, another year, another 10 years...for the country we want. "A republic, if we can keep it".
