Biden is out!

Thank you, Universe!

His ~~abdication~~ withdrawal is kinda wonky: What's up with capitalizing "Nation"? And I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country…??? Shouldn’t “country” really come first there?

But whatever. He did it!

And now there is a chance that J.D. Vance will not rule for 40 years.

I spent the afternoon excitedly texting with faraway friends—since I have but one friend locally & politics is not one of his obsessions.

Neighbor Ed sold me on Mark Kelly as the ideal VP candidate becawse…

(1) He might actually be able to deliver Arizona (& however wonderful Andy Beshear is, he can’t deliver Kentucky.)

(2) He’s an astronaut!

(3) He has an identical twin brother who is also an astronaut! Just imagine: They can send the identical twin out on the stump speech trail, and nobody will know he’s not Mark Kelly! That’s a two-for-one!

(4) His wife survived an assassination attempt—which effectively negates the PR value of Trump’s assassination attempt.

Harris/Kelly 2024!!!

Apart from that, I tromped & Remunerated, & felt massively sorry for myself for no particular reason except that there’s this woman on FB I kind of hate-follow who’s always posting pictorial essays about her fabulous life, which involves wearing bright red lipstick, writing about her sex life, & publicizing various businesses & venues in fuckin’ Woodstock.

My red lipstick always wears off after five minutes!!! I thought enviously.

And this seemed sufficient justification to hate my life.
