A coup in plain sight
I’ve had about enough of Trump, Giuliani, most of the GOP and everyone else who is working to help overturn the results of our free and fair election.
I don’t even have the space to get into it here, but know that as of today, the Trump team is 1-29 in its legal attempts thus far, and the guy is starting to freak out as Georgia prepares to certify its election results for Biden. He’s got a couple state lawmakers from Michigan coming to the White House tonight. And his team has admitted its strategy at this point is to have friendly state legislatures subvert the electoral process to send Republican electors.
I can barely stand it. But hey! We’ve got a new paper on the street today, with a lot of great work.

- A 16-year-old ballerina from UNCSA may be studying in France, and she’ll definitely be the Sugarplum Fairy.

A diversion
I found a full version of Rescue From Gilligan’s Island because get me out of here!
