" I used to love the phrase because it was the title of a charming song of the early 60’s doo-wop era by Shep and the Limelites." And in the 70s it was also a hit for Jermaine Jackson.

"You're my love/you're my angel (rat-a-tat)." Doo wop at its best.

Thanks, David, for the additional information. I was busy with my baby in the 70’s and missed that rendition. I’ll check it out.

Dear Katharine. Here's hoping your Thanksgiving dream comes true. I much prefer it to the half-awake nightmares I have been having of the f-word winning. The twisted narcissism and arrested development of the boy-men Carlson and Trump, combined with Vance's hunger for a tyrannical father-figure in Trump as a substitute for the father he never had, are psyc jobs. May they not act out their pathologies in public over the next four years.

Great description, Jim. Of course I share some of your nightmares, but as I’ve said before I tend towards being a Pollyanna. I’m not going to let the darkness overshadow my remaining days!

Tucker Carlson has 4 kids. I wonder if they are willing to be interviewed.

Interesting. Let’s wait and see if more is revealed.

I’m convinced that Trump acted as procurer with his daughter and Epstein. That would make Trump some kind of weird cross generational wittol, to use a now obsolete word for which we should mourn. Would that vicarious act cause loss of support where murder on 5th avenue would not? As for Tucker Carlson he has the same fetish it would seem.

Well, Robert, now I have to look up that word. And unfortunately for us, it seems that cult members are immune to the depravity of its leaders.

But then a significant proportion of them give money to religious shysters to buy jets, including one that is the devil incarnate. I’m certain they believe he is the anti-Christ who heralds the second coming. Therefore the more depraved the better.
