Of *course* billionaire parents buy their multi-millionaire son a governorship and then later that multi-millionaire and his billionaire parents buy another multi-millionaire the governorship so *that* multi-millionaire can make the former multi-millionaire governor a US Senator!

Anyway, the thing that’s actually amazing is how shameless all of these people are. The Nebraska GOP has such a low opinion of their constituents that they aren’t worried at all about how openly oligarchic this is.

Our whole family had a fantastic afternoon yesterday delivering treats to Omaha first responders as part of the Jewish community’s annual “Operation Grateful Goodies.” We were sent to the airport to hand out boxes of homemade sweet to the airport fire station and the control tower staff, as well as another local fire station. And we got to see all the trucks!

A huge “thank you” to the organizers and to the staff at Beth El Synagogue for such a great way for us to give back on Xmas!
