If a man is defined by his enemies, Bernie is going to be consecrated as a saint soon. NPR interviewed Hillary in prime time on Tuesday evening about some new documentary. The interview devolved into a loathsome smear of Bernie Sanders. I was having flashbacks of Hillary and Bill's 180 on healthcare reform promises in 1993-- when they only invited for-profit insurance corporation CEOs to the table, after ranting throughout 1992 about "taking on the insurance corporations." Unfortunately, I had the radio turned on in my car. P.S. United Healthcare and other for-profit healthcare corporation stocks surged yesterday after Biden's victories on Super Tuesday.

And this is just ONE major American industry that will take a massive hit in income and profit. And multiply this singular industry impact many times "world wide!" Same thing with professional sports. Postponing the latest Bond film premier for "7 months" seems a long, long time to do so. Guess they are so unsure how bad this event may get they don't want to risk a major ticket sales loss by releasing it too early. I am a Bond film addict. Have been since they first began. I love to catch them as soon as they come out. What are we going to do if things get this bad? Stay at home and watch Net Flix movies I guess. I am sure this is a concern for millions of others in America right now who have at least considered such a situation.

If a man is defined by his enemies, Bernie is going to be consecrated as a saint soon. I wish she'd shut up just because she's devisive if for no other reason. Bloomberg has actual talent working for him (I was pretty impressed with his Campaign Chair). The problem Bernie has and always will have is zero chance of getting many of Florida's 248 delegates and a less than zero chance of beating Trump there unless the Dems win the April lawsuit, which makes it possible. Biden can take Florida straight up in the general and that's what the DNC figures, I would guess. If I were to pick my preferred candidate it would be Bernie all day. I think many of his extreme positions would be tempered by the realities of putting them into action and his authenticity is admirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, Joe, it's bad for theaters and restaurants, and babysitters. But Bond will be back, to make money. Unless we're all dead by November. There may have been other factors to the delay. But it does take the wind out of Daniel Craig hosting Saturday Night Live this week. Edited March 5, 2020 by David Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 60-something Boomer with borderline diabetes I'm in a higher risk category, and I'm currently facing the daunting task of trying to convince my daughter to cancel her spring break trip to Southern California. As for Daniel Craig, is it a mere coincidence that Bond resembles Vladimir Putin nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
