    Hers is a tragic story of abuse.
    Major credit goes to her for overcoming it and helping others to overcome.

    Steve Kerr crushes it.


    Kerr said that as “a coach and a former player, as a husband, a son, a father, even a grandfather, and as an American, I believe in a certain kind of leadership.”

    “I believe leaders must display dignity. I believe that leaders must tell the truth,” Kerr explained. “I believe that leaders must care for and love the people that they are leading.

    “If you look for those qualities in your friends or a boss or an employee or your child’s teacher or your mayor, then shouldn’t you want those same qualities in your president?”

    What a really good first night. Extremely positive and emotional. My one word summary:

    Steve Kerr - Phenomenal
    AOC - Relatable
    Hillary - Encouraging
    Jamie Raskin - Pointed
    Andy Beshear - Meaningful
    Warlock - Awe-inspiring
    Jill and Ashley Biden - Loving
    Joe Biden - Historic

    AOC - barely doable
    Hillary - nasty
    Jamie Raskin - disgusting
    Andy Beshear - bland
    Warlock - male witch
    Jill and Ashley Biden - blah and meh
    Joe Biden - embarrassing

    The thing that struck me the most about Biden's speech, according to the closed captions, was when he said "we're building a better American disaster." I don't know what he meant, but I wouldn't brag about it.

    And I was surprised when he said "I come from Beijing, middle-class family." Is he now trying to claim Asian identity?

    He also made a reference in the speech to "vaginal wisdom." I won't try to interpret that.
