Another rich egotist for president

WTF, Howard “Starbucks” Schultz?

1. Who is the person advising former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to run for president as an independent?

It's Steve Schmidt, John McCain's campaign manager in 2008

Schultz can't win but Schmidt can certainly make a lot of money

For all this said, it's unbelievably arrogant for Howard Schultz to think that "Howard Schultz, as an independent, on a platform of deficit reduction, for president" is the answer to any question that anybody has ever asked about anything. https://t.co/DpqqQIUpYn

The kicker of the NYT interview w Schultz is kind of telling. He just takes for granted that "a far-left progressive Democrat" would lose to Trump. In reality, in *every* trial heat, Trump loses to Bernie Sanders; in most, he loses to Elizabeth Warren. pic.twitter.com/r8BvIeY5hC

Sunday night payoff

Guess he has to make his payoffs while he still can:

The Trump administration formally lifted sanctions on three Russian firms with links to oligarch Oleg Deripaska, including Rusal, the world's second-largest aluminum producer https://t.co/30bclKowds pic.twitter.com/QFG13ej5dj

In the presence of the Lord

January 27, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ susie

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before
I know that I don’t have much to give
But I can open any door.

Blind Faith:

Get right with God

January 27, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ susie

I would burn soles of my feet
Burn the palms of both my hands
If I could learn and be complete
If I could walk righteously again.

Lucinda Williams:

Farther along

January 27, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ susie

Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by.

When the spell is broken

January 26, 2019January 25, 2019 ~ susie ~ 2 Comments

Now you’re handing her that same old line
It’s just straws in the wind this time
When love has died
There’s none starry-eyed
No kiss, no tears,
No farewell souvenirs
Not even a token, when the spell is broken.

Richard Thompson:
