I am prepared to call the 2020 presidential election: it’s going to be Amy Klobuchar.
The Democrats will be split between Sanders and Bloomberg going into the convention. Supporters of each will loathe and despise the other.

Like smartphone users today, medieval monks wrestled with distraction.
Merle Oberon, a star actress of Hollywood’s golden age, was biracial, passing as white, and the product of two generations of rape. She was born in Bombay to a 12-year-old girl who was raped by an Englishman. Oberon’s mother was herself the product of rape.
