This Thursday, August 6, 2015

This Thursday evening, is, coincidentally and/or ironically:

--the date of the first debate of the 2016 Republican Primaries.

--the date of Jon Stewart's final Daily Show appearance as host.

--the 70th anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan

--the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. 

Thanks for the first three to FB friend Doug Frank.  Thanks, Doug.

2012 Republican Presidential race so far

Former Alaska Governor (and permanent quitter) Sarah Palin. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. Newt Gingrich. Rick Santorum. And that's just so far. If Democrats have things to be concerned about in the November election, so far it doesn't look like it's about who's in the White House.
