Had the great fortune to spend the weekend w my dear friend Nell "Mickey" Bright celebrating her 105th birthday. Mickey was a WASP during WWII and we have been friends for 30 years now. She not only flew B-25s during the war, but after the war became the first woman stockbroker in AZ.

She is wearing dark blue pants and a matching Eisenhower jacket with silver wings identifying her as a WASP.

Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree. A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”

@nicollewallace.bsky.social @mcfaulmike.bsky.social @benrhodes.bsky.social @markhertling.bsky.social have we lost all ability to put oneself in someone else’s shoes? If not, then why is this hard? We’d never consider a proposal like the one we/Putin (gross) offered Ukraine
