@DrewSav I'm honored. I am glad when something I write stands up after four days. But four decades is quite a trick, even if you're being an easy grader — PolitiTweet.org

Feh. The Cleveland baseball team will be renamed the Guardians. How boring. How hard to roll off your tongue. And how about, “The Guardians Fall into the Cellar.” — PolitiTweet.org

Agree with @JillDLawrence completely. Everything in life (starting with the 1/6 Committee) is elevated by the absence of Jim Jordan. Trump acolytes won't believe the findings anyway, so why let someone that obstreperous disrupt the investigation? https://t.co/KwiiWhRNB1 — PolitiTweet.org

I think it was Murray Kempton on Election Night in the 1960s (but don't hold me to this) who announced that he had only "3 inches to go." Unfortunately, he was referring to 3 inches in the bottle of Scotch. — PolitiTweet.org

My father-in-law David Gordon just died at age 98. During WWII, this young enlisted man from Brooklyn was a radio operator on the southeastern coast of Britain listening for bombers returning from Germany -- sometimes "coming in on a wing and a prayer." https://t.co/JVpknXagf4 — PolitiTweet.org

@Graniteprof @POTUS If I am reading this correctly -- the Democratic left thinks that Biden is a neo-liberal who will never do anything bold. And Democratic moderates think that Biden the Moderate has been captured by the far left. — PolitiTweet.org
