    I’ve liked what I’ve read about Colom and I’m happy for Mississippi he won. Then I see the Richard Pryor sweatshirt he’s been wearing since he got the good news, and now I’m sure he’s a great dude!

      Wow, my house was built then and it’s a janky mess of a place. In constant need of update, repair, and modernizing. None of which I can afford.

      Fitting allegory.

      Yes. And it’s not looking good for Dan Sullivan there, so unless something wild happens there will be 56 Democratic senators in January.
