My father fought type 1 diabetes from age 14, was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, did not buy a new car until he 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy with almost no options, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. My mother never attended high school. I bought my first car, a 1958 Chevy BelAir, as soon as turned 16 in 1964.)

SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE
— Journalists, political operatives seek records and ‘opposition research’ on Pete Buttigieg – Jeff Parrott (DIERSEN: Should I do some opposition research on those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails?) 
https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/politics/journalists-political-operatives-seek-records-and-oppo-research-on-pete/article_5911be7b-8f87-5dfa-b120-1af6ba238b16.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Research isn’t cheap and it’s not easy,” said Di Resta, president and CEO of The Maccabee Group. “You don’t do that if you don’t believe someone is a real contender.” Di Resta, who teaches a course on opposition research at George Washington University, said “oppo research” isn’t new but has become more “institutionalized.” “This is standard operating procedure now when either the mayor or a city commissioner decides to run for office,” he said. “It’s pretty standard to see these Freedom of Information Act requests going out.” Di Resta noted congressional communications are not subject to FOIA, “so the big-name senators won’t undergo the same level of scrutiny when it comes to FOIAs as the mayor, which is an interesting angle because here’s a guy who’s supposedly not experienced enough or whatever, but all his communications are eligible to be reviewed by opponents.” None of the records requestors would comment for this story when contacted by The Tribune.)
