- Who will Mitt Romney pick as his running mate?
- Joke ▲. Mitt Romney will be HRC's running mate.
- Actually ▲ joke. ▲▲ Not joke. Trump will not be GOP nominee. If he can't run as Trump his followers will abandon him, if he runs as Trump the GOP will abandon him.
- Trump will quit before he loses.
- So Trump's usefulness as a Clinton agent may be ending sooner than expected.
- Nothing Left.
- On lesser-evilism.
- The New York Times dances on Sanders' corpse.
- The Washington Post dances on Sanders' followers' corpses.
- REMINDER: the work to stop a 2020 primary challenge to Clinton starts.... NOW!
- The insurgent architect.
- Nature.
- Part of criticism.
- I remembered The Mechanickal Duck, but being reminded how funny, yay me.
- Frederick Seidel and an unmade movie about Frank O'Hara.
- Hilary Mantel short story.
- Growth. Les Murray poem.
- Thirteen Bernadette Mayer poems.
- New Deerhoof song!

[MY COLLEAGUES WILL TURN...]
PJOEPF OF VRIECYH
My colleagues will turn
narc Bookkeeper'll flip them
they'll claim my quotas're
short my myth too big

4)among the byrds at that time was david crosby, who showed up at joan baez's 75th birthday show as broadcast on pbs - as did judy collins - bob dylan wasn't there, but judy joined joan in singing about him ("diamonds and rust")
5) the one time i saw joan baez live and in person she sang dylan's "simple twist of fate" - one verse was done in a parody of dylan's vocal style - we in the audience laughed
6) the fellow grad student i went to that concert with, forty years ago, is now a clintonista who has been putting strongly anti-bernie posts on her facebook page - i have bit my tongue, metaphorically speaking
7)to every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven - or so some say
