Roger Simon from Politico retires

Wow….I didn’t know Roger Simon was retiring! That makes me sad, but glad he gets to relax and enjoy life.

He was an awesome columnist to read. His ‘simon says‘ series on politico.com was one of my favorites. I recommend going back and reading some of his 2016 campaign pieces. I suspect Mr. Simon will be signing the “I told you so” song within the next few months.

Here is his retirement article: ‘A Majority of One Walks Away.‘

Roger Simon was also pretty amazing on TV. Here is Roger Simon on CNN talking about the government shutdown a few years ago:

Pet Shop Boys – Super

I was reading this NME article about Pet Shop Boys getting the ‘Godlike Genius’ award, and I realized I never bothered listening to their album ‘Super.’ I watched this youtube clip and loved it:

 

I ran to the album earlier today. It is pretty good if you like dance-y 80s-ish stuff.

Intelligence Report on Russian Hacking

I see people sharing their opinions on the Russian Hacking events, but they haven’t read the intelligence report yet. Did you know it’s online? You can take responsibility for yourself and actually read it here. It’s an interesting read.

Donald Trump didn’t seem to take away from it the way a decent human being should, and he had more information. It’s pretty stunning to me that we just electing someone who is prepared to sell out our own intelligence community (and prob our military soon enough) in order to side with our greatest rival. Stunning.

I feel like I am living in an alternative universe.
