That NYT article on trump and immigration was the most depressing thing I've read recently. Will he also sandblast the inscription on the Statute of Liberty? Or just demolish it?

To those who go on about how undocumented immigrants are ipso facto "criminals" simply by being here, are they aware that in fact if you entered the country legally but overstayed your visa, you are not in fact guilty of a crime? Such people are in civil, not criminal, violation of the immigration laws. I know a number of such people who have been here for decades--harder working folks I have rarely encountered.

Your dress is stunning.

Are you sure that Stephen Miller is not a great grandson of Adolph Eichmann. The resemblance on all fronts is remarkable.

Happy Diwali to you as well! Must admit the juxtaposition of diya (Diwali) and Lies, Spies and Nukes was, well, unexpected to say the least. Enjoy the event! Looks like a great lineup.

Happy Diwali! It is such a wonderful holiday. I was lucky to be included in the yearly celebrations at a small company I worked at.

Asha, Happy Diwali! When I lived in Dubai, I became familiar with and looked forward to Diwali.

I know it’s your job, regardless, I learn from your writing, and etc. However, Lies, Spies & Nukes was not expected 😂

Particularly interesting part about the Spies conference. Who knew such a thing existed? Thanks to Valerie Plame for creating it. And thanks Asha and Renato for making sense out of nonsense. Happy Everything.
