Reality Winner

I am noticing a pattern. Will Reality Winner be as famous as Anthony Weiner?

Our old friend David Sussman continues to do great work at Whiskey Politics.

If you are an aviation or cold war history buff this is a must listen podcast. Enjoy.

Looks like the guy who will be nominated to be SecNav is a Marine aviator who has been an investment banker, worked at the commodities exchange. Currently lives in Wyoming.

I just could not resist.

“Devils on the Deep Blue Sea: The Dreams, Schemes and Showdowns that Built America’s Cruise-Ship Empires” by Kristoffer A. Garin, Viking Books, 366 pages, $24.95
