You can be an institutionalist without being a doormat. And Dems are being a doormat right now. Don’t have tea with the people making fun of you for being nice.
So super glad to read you again in my inbox. You started me on my love affair with the Bulwark. I've missed your sarcasm and witt it makes my heart smile along with the gorgeous pup pics. Thank you
I bet I've listened to your commentary one hundred times on MSNBC. There is at least one picture of a dog, clearly a special dog, on the mantle or elsewhere behind you. These images are a part of how I've come to view you as a conservative who has caught the ear of this Connecticut liberal because you promote consensus and compromise, what is "for the good of the order." Governor Noem provokes the horrific opposite. She is Dictator Don's perfect running-mate. At their convention, instead of a ballon drop, I imagine a kibble drop.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your pets and introducing us to your lovely and talented wife. You are missed on a day-to-day basis but your input is still very much appreciated.
So glad to find you on Substack. I like Tim Miller too, but there is only ONE Charlie Sykes. Thanks for the reading list and pics of your beautiful German Shepherds.
Any day I see your name in Substack is a gift. Thank you for the books list. I have HL Mencken as I live in Baltimore and go to a discussion group about his works. I’ve been wanting to read Montaigne's' Meditations and you note got me going. Books coming in a few days. Have a wonderful day Charlie!
I miss the Morning Shots but glad you are still publishing. (Semi) retirement now gives so much more time to read great books!! Keep the dog pics coming, and now and then giving us a dose of old Pete.
Love this list! Any thoughts on Top Chef Wisconsin? They’re only a few weeks in to the season - new episodes drop on Bravo Wednesdays and Peacock Thursdays - and your state looks gorgeous! It’s a fun show to binge at any time, but especially when you want a break from politics. All seasons are on Peacock if you catch the fever (PSA: early seasons aren’t good).

I'm so happy to find your words here. Tim is doing fine but I miss your dry humor.
Thanks for the recommendation on Ghosted…it looks fascinating!
lol

Yippee ! Happy to have Charlie in my stack - thought I was going to have to wait for the first Bulwark reunion tour
Miss you on the Bulwark, Charlie! (So much!)
Seeing smoll pupper/gigantical feet Eli's pre-teen ears is enough to keep me sane (for now)...thanks so much!!
You could make a postcard with Aussie!
I carried Montaigne's' Meditations ' in my purse
in college. I love the wisdom of his sayings.
My favorite saying of H L Mencken is: Puritanism
is the fear that someone somewhere might be
happy!
