Lily Dines Al Fresco at Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint

June 17, 2012 By Tom Sadler Leave a Comment

Yesterday Lily had her first open air dining experience at one of our favorite places, Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint.

She was a very well behaved guest and fussed over by the staff and patrons alike.

Politics

Insurrection most foul

Gerson’s article, “The U.S. must punish sedition — or risk more of it” captures much of what is going through my mind at this moment.

The post-election political theater has jumped the shark.

BLUF: Time to starve the conspiracy whack jobs and Trump sycophants of oxygen.

The Threat to Democracy is Real

“We opposed Trump because we recognized that what he stood for is an existential threat to the American experiment in constitutional democracy.”
