Believe me, dj, if you were writing "cute little notes," they'd still be available.

Let me add one point of clarification, dj. And it may help to explain to others why I deleted your posts. Comments that call Trump "a scum," Harris "a nothing," and Walz "a liar" don't qualify as "cute" in any way.

See my reply above to your earlier note. And please, dj, this "comment" section is for people to comment on my weekly newsletter, not to use it as a platform for their own political views.

Yes. When people use the "comments" section as a platform for their own political views--and especially when those comments include derisive and unsubstantiated claims--they are removed.

But it feels better than it did before the convention. Her candidacy is refreshing just by its blandness. Mike

Normally I do not write political emails. But (you saw that “but” coming, didn’t you?), if you have a chance watch Michelle Obama’s speech at the DNC, do it for yourself. It’ll be the best 20 minutes of your year. For the first time in a very long time Mary Ann and I felt the thrill of what it means to be an American, again. Not to be a Democrat. Not to be white. Not to be pissed off at somebody or something. But - what it feels like to again have the possibility to be a proud American. She speaks of being a family and being nurturing to others. Honestly, it was the best and most moving speech of the entire convention. Poor Barack, who had to follow her.

After watching, I hope you’ll feel your pride in our country come back as well. I’m tired. I don’t want to pick the scab off any more wounds. I want to love where I am in this part of history and to have an honest hope for our future. Folks, it feels good to feel good!

Amen and so be it.
