Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
I’ve come to think of this post as one where you come for the music and stay for the conversation—so feel free to drop a note. The diarist gets to sleep in if he/she so desires and can show up long after the post is published. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug.

Mornin’ y’all —
I try to use this diary to stay away from politics — I figure we get enough of that every day as it is, whether we like it or not. But it seems it’s boiled up to a point now where I need to say this:
Mitch McConnell is a big, fat, turtle-lookin’ jerk.
There. I feel better.
And with that…. lurking in the bushes in it’s quasi-natural habitat…
SKA TUESDAY!
Be good humans!
