44. Nice song

that you are whistling. I had agreed 100% with you that Platner is the single largest issue facing not only our country, and to the republic for which it stands, but the world. I am convinced it is the stumbling block to a resolution to the war in Iran. Thus, it is essential that you keep whistling that song. It's more than Mineral Man talking about you, I suspect. I am speaking not about Platner's past, in any sense of the word. For his campaign is surely less important than the valuable information you are providing the DU community with on how he is hurting Democrats in Texas! It's not like we could expect the media, from corporate to pod cast, to dare to address or undress this issue. It's up to you!
