I said in another thread I'm fine with Kent getting in but I'd take all three of the players you named over him.

The next time Democrats have the White House and the Senate, they have to do something about the Court. If they don't Roberts and his crew will continue to ruin everything they can and stifle anything that could be called meaningful progress.

I'm fine with Kent getting in but no, he's not the best hitting second baseman of all time. Carew, Gerhinger and Morgan, to name a few, were better. Lou Whitaker didn't slug like Kent but he was a better all around player.

I say Jeeves!

The idea of a separation of church and state really shouldn't be up for debate and Christian nationalists aren't really Christians. These people are relentless though and their whole revanchist program needs to be fought every step of the way.

He beat the wrap!

Mamdani needs to manage the basics of running the city. Keep the services everyone relies on running properly, keep the streets safe and so on. If he does that he'll be fine and no one will freak out about grocery stores and buses.

Not only is Pat Buchanan alive but the old bastard turned 87 yesterday. No doubt enjoying retirement after a lifetime of damaging the nation.

I lived in a condo right across the street from that building for some time. Naperville is an affluent and pretty large city. Aurora, right next door, is even bigger and more heavily Hispanic. This is going to keep happening and it's going to get worse.

I assume she's read Vance's awful book and is fully aware that he lies in public constantly and punches down on the most vulnerable whenever he gets a chance. He's ambitious, dishonest and not exactly a deep thinker. She married him anyway so I guess she likes it.

That was a great read thanks! Kolchak was really entertaining and not just for it's time.

I'm pretty sure the angry vampire in that last photo is Suszanne Charney, a really talented dancer who Bob Fosse featured in Sweet Charity.

It's such a shame. The Times still puts out all sorts of interesting and worthwhile stories but the political coverage is just baffling.

He's fun to watch. I also enjoyed finding out Frank Isbell was a member of the Hitless Wonders.

Bari Weiss is a grifter and a bullshit artist but what is a suburban dunce?

So now you're just repeating what I said.

Nice gish gallop but again, it has nothing to do with what I said. The MAGA crowd know nothing about that era in any real sense. They just like to co-opt the nostalgia for their own ends.

What they really hate is everything that slowly grew out of the Reconstruction amendments.
