“To summarize: It is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job.” — Douglas Adams, in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, part two of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I think the only people allowed to run for Congress, are those who actually went to a grocery store in the last year. (For president, only those who know how to open doors themselves.)
I cannot help but chuckle at people who promote tattooed pols like Platner and Hegseth.
Back in the summer of 1970, my Marine drill instructor, the late Gunny Botine, used to remind all of us officer candidates that "A tattoo is permanent evidence of a temporary lapse in judgment." Logically, the more tatts a person sports, the more frequently they suffer lapses in judgment. That is why you rarely see tattooed people in boardrooms but frequently see them working in jobs like nightclub bouncers or forklift drivers in warehouses or rock stars like Justin Bieber, who is trying to remove some of them.
I supported Jordan Wood's campaign from its inception. Four months later, while trying to get Jordan's story out, Platner came out of nowhere to declare, and in ten days appeared before thousands with Bernie and Troy. Felt more like a bulldozer than a grassroots movement. Lots of press coverage right away. There are good candidates who can help people, but finding them is difficult in our system. I fantasize about an informed electorate that has unfetter(men)ed access to an online forum where potential candidates can share their ideas and advance when their message resonates. Probably possible only in a not-for-profit election environment

Katz is the kind of person the Democratic Party doesn't need.
