Happiness
is children doing well in the world. I used to tell him this when he
was a teenager, "Just do something I can brag about, that's all I ask."
The
daughter is doing well too. Eva has been at Boeing for a few years now.
She recycles airplanes -- not by herself, of course, but she works in
that area. They don't just throw the old planes away -- if you think
about it....... She and Lara live in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle
with their dog Odie. I got a FB post from her today -- she has camping
on Mount Baker. Ah, the great outdoors.
Tragedy. Maybe I am cherishing my kids a little bit more today because of Joe Biden's loss. I can't imagine anything more difficult.
Katcho Achadjian for Congress
You
cannot look more Armenian than Katcho Achadjian, Such a mustache and
such a smile. This is a face with great character and depth. He is
running for Congress in our California district. I will vote for him
surely, unless I discover something in his character or in his political
record that indicates a defective nature. He currently serves in the
California Assembly and he is used to the long commute to Sacramento and
used to endless meetings with fellow legislators. We could do worse to
have such a fellow in Congress.
Helene Schneider for Congress.
Helene is the mayor of Santa Barbara. She has such vigorous, life-affirming hair. She gives a California meaning to the word zaftig. She declared her intention to serve in Congress, but she is making a big mistake. Being the mayor of Santa Barbara is the best and happiest job in American politics. Life is beautiful here. We are rich and we live near the beach. Helen presides as mayor over this feast and she comes home to her family every night.
But put her on
the red-eye to Washington every week, staying in some dreadfully
expensive and dreary apartment, squabbling in vicious and pointless
committee meetings.She will hate Congress. She will become very unhappy.
"Helen, you've got it good right here in Santa Barbara, and I want you
to stay with us." So I will not vote for her.
Presidential Politics. It's kind of a weird race for
President with so many on the Republican side and Thunder Pussy
standing alone for the Democrats. See? That's why I don't write about
her -- it's too easy to be insulting.
The race in
2016 could be the first contest with no White Man on the ballot. Put
Marco Rubio with Carly Fiorina on the GOP ticket, and put Hillary
Clinton and Julian Castro for the Democrats. There's nobody who looks like me.
Carly
Fiorina is not Italian! She just married some guy with that name. I
just looked that up. I am so disappointed. I
was hoping for a First Italian President, but she has little chance of
winning anyway. What I Iike about her is that she is capable of filling
the
office. I have a broad perspective on this. I believe there are a fairly
large number of Americans who might serve well as President, and I am
vigorously anti-dynastic. She could
do a better job than Texas Governor Rick Perry.
The
most experienced candidate by far is former New York Governor George
Pataki, a three-term Republican governor in a very Democratic state. You
never heard of Pataki because he never screwed up too badly. And that
is almost inspiring.
Ted Cruz is Hispanic.
Can you be white and Hispanic at the same time? He could be really good
in the debates. Can we just have Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders debating? They are
the only two candidates of any interest.
Let's all
vote for Bernie Sanders and put the first Jew in the White House. I
love him. He's from Brooklyn. Just to hear him talk is a blessing. If the election were held today I would vote for Bernie.
Question. Is America going to hell or are we on the path to a golden future?
