Not exactly the best few days for Ye Olde Democrattes.

Pretty good few days for that one old soldier, though. He got to help with the Super Bowl, *and* with the State of the Union.
When I was little, WWI soldiers were still around, and most grown-ups had taken part in, or at least remembered, The War (always said in capital letters). Now, we're down to just a few.

I'm pleased by the way Mayor Pete's gayness hasn't been made a campaign issue, either for or against. Interestingly, he seems to have better support among rural voters than among urban and college voters. I personally have had no-one suggest that I ought to support him for being gay, which I'd honestly kind of expected. It's always nice when things work out better than you expect.
