Goes on Fox, talks about wanting to work in bipartisan manner w/Tim Scott, talks about addressing real problems. Meanwhile Darline says “Kiss my ass” & engages in name-calling (“batshit crazy”). Which one has the character to address governance & SC’s needs in a serious manner?
Fox News: What's your number one priority if you win? Dr. Annie Andrews: As a physician, Medicaid is the backbone of children’s healthcare here in South Carolina. I look forward to working with senator Tim Scott on that issue. If these budget cuts go through, rural hospitals will close, and tens of thousands of South Carolinians will lose their insurance.

That’s rich. If you hear her speak, even if you disagree strongly with her, Dr. Andrews sounds like a pretty normal person. On the other hand the guy in the Oval Office telling the puppet #DataCenterDarline how to vote on every issue, he TRULY is batshit crazy.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

10/25/1986 An out away from losing the World Series, the Mets score three runs to beat the Red Sox and force a Game 7. Gary Carter, Kevin Mitchell, and Ray Knight record two-out hits, New York ties the score on a wild pitch, and Mookie Wilson hits a little roller up along first.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

I would’ve flipped 1 & 2; wish Severance was higher & wish Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant’s Extras was on this list. But biggest objection I have is that Barry should be WAY higher, maybe top 25. Genre-defying, brilliantly conceived & written & great performances across the board

25 yrs ago I’d landed in Anchorage late 9/10 to play a music festival. Went to sleep around midnight, 5 AM NY time. Woke up to beautiful Alaskan paradise, my host hadn’t turned TV on. Call from violinist Paul Rosenthal at 8 AM & heard the whole story from him: it had all happened

Europe, Dallas, other destinations. Nearby Air Force base full of folks from grounded flights from Asia in days ahead, and many Alaskans volunteered to help feed them etc. We had concerts scheduled for Fri 9/14, would we still do them, could we still do them with players missing?

In the end we did still gather at Alaska Pacific U, more in nature of a service than concert. Sharing the music of JS Bach (a gamba Sonata w/violist David Harding) w/those gathered, we all realized the hunger to touch some of the best of what humanity could create at that moment.

Fine with me if it means he will go be its first (and only) full time resident ASAP.

Oh boo-fricking-hoo Signed, progressive in a southern state under one-party (GOP) rule for the entire 21st century so far. Work to change people’s minds if you don’t like it, or move.
The mental health of conservatives suffers when they live in progressive places

A delightful side benefit of the release of “Coyote vs Acme” has been everyone posting their favorite “Coyote-fail” moments here—like this gem
