Let's talk ….speech..Let's talk Joe
I am not a doctor, let me get that straight right off. I do want to talk about what I have learned from speech therapist when my son/grandson was born with a cleft pallet and had not only hearing but speech problems. I also spoke in length to Mel Tillis who discussed his stuttering problem…
Amy just endorsed Biden and suspended campaign.
This will have an impact as well as I think Pete is not far behind on his endorsement. The endorsements will be coming fast and furious I predict. The ground game is about to change with these past candidates coming in to endorse. I am all for redecorating. This is what moderates…

In a 1991 James Fallows wrote a piece in the Atlantic trying to explain what exactly he found so obnoxious about the magazine, the Economist. To do this he related an anecdote about a government official going on to him about about he’d just read on Japan’s economic miracle. This book, he told Fallows, extensively proved that…
