Thanks for the illustrated commentary on an extraordinary week. I'm a native Californian of a certain age, who studied the antebellum South at Berkeley. As a professional, I spent some transformational years in Charleston. The significance of the convergence of this week's events cannot be overstated and frankly gives me chills. While much work remains, and frightening lash-backs can be expected, I'm hoping the spirit of compassion and reconciliation, so magnificently expressed by African-Americans standing on a street named Calhoun, will prevail among all our peoples and controversies. Yes, it will take time. Onward into the Eternal Now.

Indeed it was an extraordinary week for our country. A time to take a break from our usual cynicism and savor the moment.

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand stopped by The Daily Show to discuss, among other things, trying to push a 9/11 First Responders bill through an unwilling Congress. With a frustration that turns quickly to something quite resembling rage, Jon Stewart asks her to name names.

Reminds me that Gene Roddenberry had all the answers and tried to share them on the tube 50 years back. Can we make classic Star Trek mandatory viewing in public schools and police academies?

Awesome! Billboards, we need billboards.
Seems appropriate to offer up here this quote from George Will (of all people):
“Every sulfurous belch from the molten interior of the volcanic Trump phenomenon injures the chances of a Republican presidency.”
