I haven't seen or heard it yet, have you?

The Democrat Party's certainly does have difficulties in establishing a consistent campaign theme during the current election cycle. Political observers have noted repeated efforts to craft messages around economic issues and democratic values without achieving broad internal consensus. They can't even agree to agree. 
Here we are in November already, and, Democratic strategists continue to refine what little messaging they have ahead of midterm contests. Historical patterns show all political parties seem to often face similar challenges when they try to unify diverse voter coalitions under a single theme. To date, the Dims' only theme appears to be, once again, 'I'm not Trump'.
Wolverton's approach relies on the established donkey symbol to convey the party's self-perception of momentum alongside visible delays in message development. This creates a pointed observation about the timing and substance of campaign communications without namming specific candidates. One billboard I saw yesterday had a Democrat woman running for something - God knows what - with the slogan "I want to help you save money". Huh?

Lorrie Kitching was 15 years old in 1973 when her father, Lt Col Robert Stirm, returned home from Vietnam after spending more than five years as a POW. The moment of their reunion was captured in a Pulitzer-prize winning photograph known as 'Burst of Joy.'  The now-legendary image was taken by the Associated Press snapper Slava 'Sal' Veder at Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, California.  
This week Kitching, now 69, revealed the emotional moment she received a package containing a POW bracelet engraved with her father's details. POW bracelets were introduced in 1970 in a bid to keep military members' suffering in the front and center of the public's mind. They featured the names of US servicemen and the date when they had been captured. Wearers vowed to keep them until the military members made it safely home. 
There's a story similar to this here:

This old Desoto on the old hand-pulled McCrabb rope ferry,  aka the Suwannee Ferry, that crossed the river at McCrabb Landing, Florida.  This was one of the earliest ferries across the Suwannee River, started in the late 1820s or early 1830s.  It was a toll ferry until it became a county and state supported free public ferry in the early 1900s.  It  remained in operation until it eventually closed around 1956.  Until the Three-County Suwannee River Turnbridge was built at Fanning Springs in 1923, and later replaced by the Benjamine Chaires steel truss bridge in1934, the ferry was the main north-south connector linking Tallahassee to Cross City to Chiefland.

Most definitely in my top three favorite movies, it's one of those flicks that you had to watch any time it came around on TV. Now, with all the different streaming service and Netflix and YouTube and Prime and everything else that's feeding our viewing addictions, you can find this just about any time you want. Certainly one of the best fight scenes ever filmed.

51 years ago yesterday,, on Halloween in 1975, Queen released 
their iconic song “Bohemian Rhapsody.” 
Written by Freddie Mercury, the groundbreaking six-minute track defied conventional songwriting with its operatic section, powerful vocals, and unforgettable guitar solo. 
Despite its unusual structure and length, it became one of the band's biggest hits, spending nine consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart and cementing its place as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

He was Public Enemy Number One. He was also, for a few months, the only person in Chicago feeding thousands of people a hot meal every day. In November 1930, a storefront on South State Street opened with a banner: "Free Soup Coffee & Doughnuts for the Unemployed." It served three meals a day, no questions asked. The man behind it was Al Capone.
The operation cost him roughly $300 a day. He didn't show up for photo ops or speeches. The line stretched past police headquarters, a quiet irony nobody missed. When the government failed to feed its people, a gangster did.

Buddy of mine moved to a small island off the coast of Thailand around 20 years ago. He died recently in a car accident, but he was one helluva guy, a great buddy and one of the genuinely funniest, sick fucks I've ever been lucky enough to know. 
His girlfriend at the time he died usta be a guy. He couldn'ta gave a fuck less. Andre lived his entire life on the edge - it's somehow appropriate that he drove off a cliff in his own car, drunk as fuckall.
