Tuesday Night Open Thread

John Lennon would have been really really old today. If 78 is really really old.

I was upset when he was murdered. He had left the music business to focus on his family, but had returned to the studio and recorded a couple of albums when he was gunned down. It hit me hard.

Anyway, he would have been 78 today.

I Imagine This Will Come Up Again in 36 Years

On Saturday, liberal protesters broke through a police line, barged their way up to the Court’s chamber, and clawed at the doors while Kavanaugh was being sworn in inside.

Behavior which, ironically, WOULD disqualify them from a SCOTUS nomination because it was on camera and in front of witnesses.
