Early days, and as Pat so wisely put it, $200 million dollars in attack ads and opposition research etc... is a not insubstantial force. But I think it's safe to say that America's starting to wake up to the truth about this administration. Which is a good thing, and makes me for one sleep a little better. A choice between TweedleDee and Mordred, Prince of the Underworld is still a choice, after all, and one that I think anyone in their right mnd would take.

And re: "China Lake", yes, it was Lake Melissa (which is also my beautiful niece's name), but I named it "China Lake" cause it seemed to sing a little better, and as the song's about the calm before wartime it seemed fitting to name it after a weapons testing facility. By the way, RIP Rob, aka the song's "Richard", father, Navy Seal, stalwart, and now passed. He was my cousin, and at the time we spent at Lake Melissa when I was writing that song he was preparing to do whatever secret and unnamable things that Seals do during wartime. (It was in the months leading up to the first Gulf War.) He didnt talk too much, just sat watching the water in a big straw hat, drinking beer. Hard to blame him, really. In fact, take imminent war out of the equation and it's a pretty nice day.
