TURNING RED...

There's a peculiar restfulness in TV since the election. Commercials are not as numerous, nor are they screaming, tossing slime and raising my blood pressure.

While I am personally a mix of independent, moderate and conservative---depending on the issue---I can't abide the crowing of conservatives about states "turning red."

That will only work if you stop crowing and if you learn the difference between "statesman" and "politician."

We must work for the good of our country and not for the good of our various parties.

Otherwise, "turning red" will simply mean "more political bloodshed."

And that continued bloodshed will surely sap the strength of a country that historically has been strong.
