@Peggynoonannyc You failed to address rape or incest in this week's column a glaring omission in your argument.

It's Paul Newman's birthday today. He founded Safe Water Network before he passed away in 2008.

Made this short video for the year end 2020 fund-raising effort. Happy Birthday Paul.

I saw Dick Allen hit a grand slam in 1968 at Connie Mack Stadium. My first baseball game. He was Richie to me then. RIP Dick Allen.

[Richard Brody @tnyfrontrow]

In memory of Dick Allen, one of the most exciting, energizing, and awe-inspiring players I've ever seen; he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

During this Thanksgiving season, many still struggle around the world with out safe water.

[Safe Water Network @safewaternet]

Water is the most life changing, fundamental resource -- a critical weapon against #disease. Yet, access to clean water is dramatically uneven across the world.

@Peggynoonannyc Love your column, we need more moderate voices. Tired of hearing only extremes on both sides. Having said that, very disappointed in the abstention. I have concerns with the far left too, but leaving him in is a HUGE problem NOW. Big mistake Peggy.
