    CNN is doing a spectacular job covering celebrations around the country, as well as earlier, Trump's speech, flyover of military aircraft of all sorts, as well as vintage military aircraft. Turn on CNN if you are not aware of their coverage, great fun. They also had some Saint-Saens, Debussy, Copland's ubiquitous Fanfare for the Rainman. Fox? Patriotic, right-wing Fox?? Nothing. Nada. Regular programming. Exactly the opposite of what I was anticipating for July 4th coverage. Oh, and Don Lemon was complimenting how his co-host looked hot in a red dress. VERY sexist and inappropriate for CNN.

    Ha no. I didn’t meet her until 2006 or so and the convention was 2004.

    In my contract it specifically states that my employment can be terminated for any reason, or for no reason at all. I'm not sure that it works that way in practice, as the company has very complex HR and anti-discrimination policies.

    Fauci was cautiously optimistic about the summer and we all listened to him. Funny how people don’t mention that as a reason for us letting our guard down. Also Simpson’s paradox may not be correct if the older people are protecting themselves. A massive increase in 35 yo cases does little to the death rate, actually decreases the IFR.

    Nothing against it, just that the value density is much lower.
