> Warren's alright, she and Bernie. I haven't followed Tulsi much at all. She surprises by saying truthful things sometimes, just like the current occupant (as they say). Did HRC ever say anything like that? I suppose so, she must have.

> Maybe reading Shakespeare is not such a bad idea? I used to read King Lear out loud when no one was around. It felt good for my mental health. I even read The Tempest once and I remember nothing, though there is....full fathom five thy father lies under the flatfish and the squids....or is that Eliot copying him?
'Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
Hark! Now I hear them Ding-dong, bell.'
