VP Kamala Harris has my vote to be the next POTUS. I think it's long overdue America had a woman president, and I hope we take this opportunity to elect one. It would say our diversity as a country is truly our strength. As last we did by electing Joe Biden, we can reject Donald Trump, his failure in office, and everything else he's heaped on.
We can't forget, though, droves of people will still vote Trump. All of us who don't want Trump have to outvote them.

Biden ends re-election bid
Posted 3:00 PM by Gerald So
President Biden has decided to end his 2024 re-election bid after many fellow Democrats and deep-pocketed donors turned against him. Reflecting on Biden's life of public service, I'm grateful for it all, especially his presidency.
Never the hottest pick (Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton), Biden got his chance after Trump botched the nation's COVID recovery. Biden righted that wrong, most importantly, and just in general I appreciated his cooler head.
Much had been made of his advanced age. I value what he did all the more because he did it at this age. He gave all he could to his country.

MOONLIGHTING
Posted 10:30 AM by Gerald So
Despite my lifelong fondness for private eye fiction, I'm not a fan of MOONLIGHTING, I think mostly because I dislike Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis as the stars, but also because the show plays with tone so broadly.
Now streaming on Tubi, it's interesting to look back at Willis right before his movie breakout, long hefore aphasia forced him to retire. I hear how clever the dialogue is. I would appreciate it whoever played Maddie and David.
Creator Glenn Gordon Caron wrote the role of Maddie for Shepherd and fought the network to cast Willis as David Addison, but if the show had different stars who got along better, if Caron had run things more efficiently, it might have yielded more than sixty-seven episodes and five seasons.
