I just met a guy who was headed for the beach to take a swim in the ocean, which I found impressive, given that the water in Santa Barbara is 59 degrees F.

“My ocean-swimming days are over,” I told him.

“Oh, it gets worse,” he relied. “Because of climate change, the waters south of here are too hot for the sharks, so they’re moving north.”

Holy crap.

My family is one of countless millions of those that have been profoundly disfigured by Fox News since it came along in the late 1990s. In particular, my well-educated and well-read mother, in her mid 70s at the time, started to imbibe many hours of this right-wing propaganda per day, and soon began to parrot it at the dinner table, to the shock and horror of all those around her.

The point here is that she told me, shortly before she died, “Obviously, I don’t have a single point of agreement with Bernie Sanders, but I must admit that he’s completely sincere in his beliefs and in what he’s telling the American people.”
