Very sound advice that I had to follow this week. In the overall scheme of things this may not sound like much, but I had to decide this week whether or not to temporarily close the open mic I have been hosting for almost four years. I knew the decision might not be popular with the performers or audience. After serious conversations with the other open mic hosts in Long beach, I am proud to say that we came to an almost unanimous decision to do what we believe to be the right thing and suspend our open mics until at least the end of the month and review the situation at that point. The one open mic not yet closed is held outdoors in an area that the owner believes has sufficient room to allow for social distancing. As I said, in the overall scheme of things, this might not sound like much. But, then again, one of our regular performers works at Disneyland, others also come in contact with large numbers of people, and being in Southern California we also draw a fair number of tourist.

We sure are geniuses, aren't we?

mcgeo52 comments on Mar 11, 2020:

It is not just counting the mail in ballots that is holding up California delegate counts. Like many other states, only a part of the delegates are allocated in the primary. The rest are allocated at the convention. The good news for Bernie is that he should do very well at that stage.

No way. Biden would do worse against Trump than Hillary did. He is just as much a tone deaf neoliberal out of touch with the working class as Hillary. Obama knows there is no way Biden can win. He doesn't endorse him because he doesn't want that on his record. The one thing that Obama can, and should, do, but probably won't, is to make sure that the super delegates don't deny Bernie the nomination if he goes into the convention with over 1,600 delegates.

mcgeo52 comments on Feb 28, 2020:

The writer of the article is clearly misinformed. The Constitution prevents the President from pardoning a verdict of guilty in an impeachment by the Congress. The reason is that the President's pardon power derives from the fact that prosecution is an act of the Executive (i.e., the President), therefore the Executive is the one with the power to pardon. The one exception is impeachment, which is not an act of the Executive, but of Congress.

Bernie has taken the lead and will probably go into the convention with a plurality, but not a majority, of the delegates. I won't be surprised if he has placed first in 30 or more states. If the DNC uses the super delegates to nominate someone other than Bernie under those circumstances, they will lose to Trump. They will also alienate enough voters that the future of the party may be in doubt.

mcgeo52 comments on Feb 21, 2020:

Per Nate Silver at 538.com, Bernie will probably finish first in all but two of the states voting/caucusing between now and the end of Super Tuesday. Nate says Minnesota goes for Klobuchar and Alabama goes for Biden. Bernie will probably have a large plurality of the votes going into the convention, and may well have finished first in 30 or more states. If that is the case, the DNC has two choices: 1) Acknowledge the will of the voters and nominate Bernie, or 2) Tell the voters, "Fuck you." If they choose the second option, they will lose to Trump and may end up killing the party altogether. I hope they are not stupid. I really hope that @Robecology is correct in his optimistic vision.
