Georgia is a Verb

This is a product I wish I could trust testimonials on. I’m too skeptical to buy one myself, don’t trust any ads, but I would immediately change my mind if someone I knew said it worked.

In the last 6 months I’ve had long drives through lower Alabama, panhandle Florida, western Alabama and Eastern Mississippi, and all over Appalachia and saw nothing like the Trump signs from 2020 or 2016. Same folks are surely still voting for him, but there’s no new bloc of enthusiastic voters.

Condolences to those experiencing loss from the deaths Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth, and Larry “Bud” Melman (the last of whom died in 2007 but whose death I just learned of trying to figure out the third Letterman guest in this trio).

This summer chest cold that’s been going around… zero stars.

Did you see an expat community and if so, was it even drunker than you expected?

Jamelle Bouie: Bluesky’s finest: I am going to become the joker. For a while I was a bit of a victim blamer, thinking these ultralefttankiedumbasskids were just going after liberals because they were a weaker and easier target than the right. I was wrong. They’re dumb.

Saw an IncelCamino driving by the Decatur Souper Jenny and I think that’s even more of a mismatch than Brookhaven or Buckhead

Escalating levels of coming home?

Biden is like Mack Brown in late August, 2011 or so. He won the thing that mattered the most a few years back but clearly has declined some. Do you act like crazies at Auburn or do you give a decent man a chance to go out on his own terms? It's too close to the season to find anyone else. Lemsday.

Now this is the only restaurant in town. You ask the cook, "hey what'll be on the menu tomorrow?" The cook says, "if you order the cold pizza, tomorrow there'll be piping hot pizza, but topped with anchovies." Some might like that, others might prefer the cold pizza., some might not like either.

You ask the cook what else will be on the menu if I don't order the cold pizza today. He says, "I'll throw out the pizza & there will only be the gasoline soup." NOBODY SHOULD SAY "I GUESS I'M TORN ON WHETHER TO EAT THE COLD PIZZA BUT I HATE ANCHOVIES SO MUCH I'D RATHER ONLY HAVE THE SOUP TOMORROW."

Then the cook says, "actually, I'm not sure about tomorrow. Maybe I'll have lukewarm cheese pizza for the next week and then decide what toppings to put on hot pizza. Maybe it'll be anchovies, maybe something else. But that's only if you order the cold pizza tonight. Otherwise, gas soup forever."

THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. ORDER THE COLD PIZZA OR IT'S GASOLINE SOUP, PROBABLY FOREVER. So any talk about whether we should instead commandeer the kitchen, and whether we could, with no time, make a hot pizza people want is beside the point. WE JUST NEED THE GASOLINE SOUP OFF THE MENU.

It's ok not to like cold cheese pizza. It's fine to fear that fewer people will want anchovy pizza. But what's really important is that the only restaurant in town continues serving edible food. FOR EVERYONE. So eat the cold pizza. Maybe even listen to flyover country and dip it in ranch. END RANT

The "should Biden drop out?" discussion is not useful to anyone. Using an analogy from sometime around the mid-aughts, here's where we are: It's a little late and America has to eat dinner, so we roll into the only open restaurant around. The cook offers the following menu:

A) Cold pizza cooked five hours ago, but still edible or B) A soup made from rusty lugnuts and gasoline. He also says he might be able to find a syringe of something left on the bathroom floor if the first two aren't good enough.

Nobody wants to eat the old, cold pizza and we all know there should be more reasonable items on the menu. But the kitchen is closed and that's it. You ask if anyone actually orders the soup and the cook says "yeah, about 1/3 of our customers, but half die and the other half lose their families."

I honestly don't think anyone who wouldn't already jump at the chance to order the soup is going to change their mind because the actually-edible option isn't perfect. NOBODY IS SAYING, "WELL SINCE THE PIZZA IS COLD I'LL HAVE THE GASOLINE SOUP."

Maybe some people would rather go hungry than eat the cold pizza. The Cook tells them, "well if you don't get the cold pizza I'll throw it away and everyone gets the soup." You could think "if I go hungry, it only hurts me" but actually you're making other people have a worse option.

Polls are absolutely useless until they figure out a different way to do them. Nobody but weirdo cranks answers the phone. Online polls are easily manipulated.

I hope today something makes me laugh as hard as yesterday when my son thought one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was named “D’angelo”.

The Supreme Court has ruled that King Joseph I now has quite a bit of power to act criminally. He should use it.

An official act of the Executive to jail any Supreme Court justice the executive deems to be acting contrary to law should be the first thing Joe Biden does.
