I cut my eye-teeth on Watergate, and it made me a lifelong Democrat with conviction, starting with my first presidential vote for that Georgia peanut farmer!

What we have now just confirms the informed choices that have influenced many of us decade after decade.

We've seen a lot of shit.

A portion of a circle can look a lot like a bending arc.
