A reminder that Boswell's "Life of Johnson" is one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable biographies ever written. Two guys in London in the late 18th century discussing everything and anything, calling each other "Sir," and living scenes of moving poignancy. It was 800 pages and I wished for 800 more.

On Sunday morning, I suffered a sudden heart attack at the ripe age of 36. I was extremely fortunate to be in the hands of good friends, family and amazing doctors that very literally saved my life. It will be a few days before i’m back in action.


A theme I mentioned in the Dan Goldman loss, and Diana DeGette's campaign, is that the Dem base wants "fighters," and the "establishment" is struggling to convince the base it's fighting effectively. So, Goldman and DeGette bring up Trump impeachment and voters are unmoved. It didn't work! Valdez, DAC, Lander highlight how they threw themselves into protests - that seems to work better in safe seats. Anyway, on my mind after listening to Joe Biden's 10-minute speech to Maryland Dems this weekend. A little bit of content: "Have you noticed, Americans today are saying the economy under the Biden administration was a hell of a lot better than under Trump?" But mostly a lot of wheezing and coughing between rhetoric about "fighting" and "getting up." "We’re the United States of America! There’s nothing, there’s literally, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity if we act together! So let’s get up and fight back, God-darn it!" That's what Dem primary voters heard in 2020, and Trump didn't go away. They heard Biden say it in 2024 and Trump won. It's just a bunch of empty words now. c-span.org/program/public…
