I mean, I see your point, but I also watch people do dumb stuff so often I assume the dumb is baked in

As time goes on, the odds of somebody doing the exact wrong dumb thing go to 1

love that we had a whole national reckoning over the media's coverage of Biden's advanced age and none of the scolds who High Horsed us can be bothered to spend even a minute reflecting on the fact that Trump has basically become Mr. Burns in the "Spruce Moose" episode of THE SIMPSONS

Def used to enjoy hearing the tobacco report on the radio while waiting for the school bus, but that was only a minute( :

We had a local guy that used to do some pretty fantastic local interviews and trivia nights and stuff like that on the big AM station but I think he just retired a few years ago

Meant to start this on Sunday night, but I've finally got a pot of red beans and rice on the stove for, uh, Wednesday supper. It's a lot to get it going, but it's worth it.

House smells good, too
