As for Biden, I still think that many expect only one term for him on strictly ageism lines and that's probably why I get a little sensitive when it comes to the DiFi stuff.

That is a very important distinction.

i think there's a difference between ageism and age-related differences in competence.

biden has shown that at 78 he's still sharp enough to do the job of president, so he deserves to hold it.

feinstein has shown that she's not sharp enough to do her job anymore, and that would be just as much the case if she displayed the same behavior but were 38 rather than 88.

Ageism? Please!

She has age-related mental deterioration and CW made it clear that that is why she needs to go away. He's right.

The Dem gerontocracy is a huge problem for a party that is supposedly representing a coalition that's trending younger, so a little ageism is warranted anyway.

A whole lot of previous nonvoters cast their ballot last election. For Donald trump. Under the heading 'careful what you wish for'...

Russ[15],

Another great point.

I can hear it now ... she steps down when the going gets crazy. We might even read about that right here!

Ageism abounds around here, actually.

Caddy,

This Sunday night, let's restrict it to bands that actually played at the Whisky-A-Go-Go ...'cause you're right, there are a lot to choose from!

Maybe Feinstein just didn’t feel it was right to quit when things were as screwed up in this Congress and this country as they are? If you want her gone because she is bad at her job…so be it. But to say she is too old to do just because you do not like her is ageist.

I agree, Chris. It's sad to see someone with a distinguished record hanging on like this, and I would have hoped for her to set a better example. That would still leave Grassley and Inhofe and a couple of others hanging on, however.

... or just bands that PLAYED there...

By: MtnCaddy

MtnCaddy — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 03:29:17 +0000

...or just bands that one time or another? Which would cover the 'Murican Left Coast and a little of the notable foreign stuff. Plenty to choose from.

But...

D'ya wanna go full metal jacket and restrict it to performances actually at WAGG?

By: MtnCaddy

I knew someone who played the W-A-G-G and he said the band actually rented it and sold their own tickets, so attendence was on them. So you built up a local following and got 'em all to show up.

I second the Whiskey-a-Whiskey-a-Go-Go theme for Sunday.

I know! Next week, let's focus on the Whisky-A-Go-Go and all of the wonderful artists that graced the stage there ...

In fact, I think one of our Sunday night shindigs should be Cali-centric ... more than once, even ... :)

Is Dianne Feinstein the one who is holding up the voting rights legislation?

I mean, really ...

By: Elizabeth Miller

Elizabeth Miller — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 00:41:32 +0000

Are we still going on about this!?

I thought, with the midterms approaching, that there would be more importanat battles to be won ... with voters.

I know, I know ... silly me.
