I've always said that we should have had a simulated Jeopardy! match between The Dotard and HRC, with a randomly selected nobody as a third back in 2016. Cats include Constitution, World History, Black America, etc.

I generally listen to my mp3s on shuffle, so the artists I have the most of rise to the top. All my top albums are multi-disk compilations.

I didn't realize that, according to the article, "A Complete Unknown" was about Bruce Springsteen.

That was my kind of scene in the '80s. I'm so glad this was compiled and released.

I've still got a few of those floating around.

Yep, when people see their new health insurance premiums and start realizing that if they want to pay for them they won't get a new car or put a new roof on the house or go to Disney World.

You're lucky. My old barbers - a bunch of old Italian immigrants with one young guy from Belarus - went full MAGA last year before the election. Wonder if I should call ICE on them.
