Hopefully I don’t wind up doing this myself in 25-30 years, but I will never cease to be amazed at people who manage to drive the wrong way on a U.S. interstate highway.

IRRELEVANT. You don’t get to be Lee Atwater with your deathbed confession. The damage is done.
You can’t drop a glass, tape the pieces back together and say “sorry”. Some damage is permanent.
Hmm. This seems like an oversimplification, but… maybe necessary? I wish we could find a way to get more people into the stock market (like, via mutual funds or index funds, as opposed to gambling on individual stocks and day trading) and tax individual wealth, but if this is the way it has to go… I guess.

«Keep an eye on the Virginia House of Delegates in particular. If Republicans can flip the six seats they need to take control of the chamber, they will break Democrats’ total control over Virginia state government even if Democrats win the governorship.»

«So one night I floated down
Right above wilson’s shack
I hid in the woods
Till I saw him walk out back
I put a bullet in his head
And dropped him in his tracks
And we went down the river
Down below the trestle
Where the water runs slow
I chained him to an anvil
And then I let him go
And five years later
I ain’t told a soul
And I ain’t done much fishing
I hardly wet a line
The death of my brother
Is still heavy on my mind
I’ve been thinking wilson’s cousin
Better find a place to hide
‘Cause I’m going down the river
Yeah I’m going down the river»
