How was the gig last night? Vanessa Friedman at the NYT was surprised that Melania's dress was so bland. Was the food bland, too? To be honest, the Morrison's seem kind of bland….
… I hope you enjoy your visit to my great state today. Is your Beverly Hills host, Geoffrey Palmer, responsible for your recent attention to the matter of people without shelter? I understand that his apartment complexes in downtown LA are set up so residents can avoid going out on the street at night because they don't want to encounter people without homes….
…When you spend the hour with SBHAK please help him understand that protesters are not terrorists and should not be thrown in jail and stripped of their citizenship. He's being particularly mean to Hajer Mansoor Hassan who is locked up because her son is a rabble rouser living in the UK. ..
…Happy Sunday! Please go to church. Maybe catch a service before heading off to the golf course. You could pray for your buddy, Rudi, that he will have grace as he and his wife air their dirty laundry in divorce court in January. You know how disturbing divorces are and how "operatic" Rudi can be. We don't need that kind of drama. …
…I understand that Elise Stefanik gave your people a hard time at the GOP retreat. She's really something, isn't she? Youngest person in the House at age 35 and serving on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I'm glad that she's watching out for cyber security and not willing to give her email list of donors to the WH. …
I'm worried about the border wall being erected right in the middle of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. …Get some enthusiastic engineers to design a system so the javelinas and mountain lions can freely run back and forth, but people are detected and apprehended. I think we have the know-how to do that. Let's go for it!!!
…Thanks for parting company with John Bolton (JRB). He seemed to think that war was the answer. You and I both know that's never true. I have a feeling that you kept JRB in the WH as long as you did to make folks like Senator Tom Cotton and the other three B's who wanted regime change in Iran happy….
…Did you have fun in NC yesterday? I understand that you made a joke about light bulbs saying, "I look better under an incandescent light." I think I might look better under an incandescent light, too. Right now, we have some kind of energy efficient bulb in our bathroom and I look terrible. I like to think it's the light bulb. It could be that I'm getting old. In any case, I don't mind harsh lighting if it will save the planet….
…t's too bad that your peace plan did not work out. …As I try to wrap my head around the Afghan situation this morning I am wondering how we might help the women there. I think that Senator Jeanne Shaheen is correct when she says that "peace is 35% more likely to succeed when women are at the negotiating table" so I suggest that you start from scratch with the peace talks and get women like Sediqa Sherzai (SS) and Mahbouba Seraj (MS) involved. …
…Who knew that a hurricane could stir up so much media attention? I'm sure that you've heard about "Sharpie Gate." Did you read James Poniewozik's analysis of it in the NYT today?…
