Just curious. - Do Spanish-speaking people consider Sen. Kaine a good Spanish speaker?

That is, is his accent reasonable and does he know enough vocabulary to express himself well extemporaneously in Spanish?

Even if the answer is somewhat negative, it's an obvious plus that he is fluent enough in Spanish to communicate with that large constituency.

How immature does one have to be to think dumping manure someplace

other than a garden is funny or an expression of protest?
I hate to sound sexist, but the guys have to admit that no grown woman would think this is an acceptable way to express their political views.

So true.

This is their idea of humor.

Sophisticated stuff, huh?

Shouldn't we be asking our Senators - Democratic and Republican alike-

to sign on to this letter?

Dem. Senators are an easy shot to ask, but Republican Senators should be put on the spot and required to answer on this as well, especially those running for re-election.

US Ambassador to the United Nations might be a better or more realistic position

for our beloved Joe Biden.

Sec. of State demands constant flying around the world and putting out diplomatic fires as before or as they erupt.
That's an awful lot to ask of a man who's spent virtually his whole life in public service and who in his mid-70's may want or need to cut back on that life.
The life of US ambassador to the UN is somewhat more predictable and doesn't require as hectic a lifestyle as Sec. of State.

A similar product was featured on TV's "Shark Tank" a few years ago.

I'm not a cat person myself, but that product did catch my attention.
