RIP Mark Russell

Legendary DC political satirist Mark Russell died today. I really had no idea he was still alive, and hadn't thought of him in decades. For all I know he was a Trump-loving MAGA lunatic, or knitted Jimmy Carter socks every year for Christmas, I have no idea. But for some reason when I was a kid I found myself watching him on PBS with my mother, laughing at his piano songs along with her. I'm sure I had no idea what the hell he was talking about and was only pretending to laugh for my mother, but it's just one of those small, kinda-nothing things you remember years later that just feels nice. Thanks Mark.
