Sorry, but my thoughts carried over from an earlier post of DG's where someone was callously suggesting that DG doesn't work hard enough at finding a better FT job. Haven't seen you post in a while.<br /><br />BTW, Given the situation that you just described, would now be a good time to relocate to Chicago?R Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150488267916316478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-35628398210787445812017-01-03T09:34:58.948-06:002017-01-03T09:34:58.948-06:00Rusty, there are lots of overrated hypocritical fr...Rusty, there are lots of overrated hypocritical frauds like Dowd in the world. Most of them are bit players in someone else's game. They abdicated their responsibility because it pays well. They scream 'both sides' because that's the script they've been given to read. We all get that. <br /><br />btw, I am not a newbie. I have been encouraging DG to consider broadening his scope for quite some time. Interestingly, sometimes when I nudge him, he and/or BG mention Guv. Bruce in a podcast. I hope that occurs again this week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753739198386729717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58207133397582446922017-01-02T20:14:42.974-06:002017-01-02T20:14:42.974-06:00Pups, while what you mention is noteworthy, DG goi...Pups, while what you mention is noteworthy, DG going after overrated, hypocritical frauds like Dowd highlight how worthless our media and its "journalists" really are. <br /><br />By doing so, hopefully it shines a light on how they have all abdicated their responsibility to report what's really going on like the situations you mention instead of them ignoring those acts that ultimately result from the crazy, sociopathic, greedy nature of the modern republican party by normalizing it with the false equivalence of "both sides".<br /><br />Again, like has been mentioned to some other newbies here, read some older posts and esp. listen to the podcasts. Both DG and BG are acutely aware of the tragedies happening locally as well as nationally.R Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150488267916316478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-90577614419256528572017-01-02T18:07:19.123-06:002017-01-02T18:07:19.123-06:00Meanwhile, Illinois' stopgap 'budget' ...Meanwhile, Illinois' stopgap 'budget' lapsed with 2016. Although a lot of state spending's now mandated by court order, there isn't enough money flowing in to pay for everything. The backlog of unpaid bills is now over $11 billion. <br /><br />Higher education, the homeless, runaways, battered women, and seniors are especially hard hit. <br /><br />This is what the GOP wants to do nationwide. Would it be so hard to pull yourself away from Matthew Dowd for a half-hour and write about the real people in your town who hit by this and/or are fighting back?

What ever that is. Dowd is no more a member of the anti-Trump group than I am a professional football(aka soccer) player. The only reason Dowd is anti-Trump is because of his undying fealty to the Bush clan.Phil Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540815981930702517noreply@blogger.com
