Kamala mania sweeping the country

Wednesday, August 12th, 2020

The equivalent of picking Tim Kaine, or the equivalent of picking Teddy Roosevelt, or somewhere in between?
SImpatico, or apt to never lose that “Bush called Reaganomics “voo doo economics” as a key reference point.
Powerful as Cheney, the attack dog of Agnew, or just a Throttle-bottom where if it power ahe needed she would have been better off holding off for a Justice Department appointment?
Predisposed to not much liking any of them — her main goal in life, as is that of all of them, is to be in the history books as a major historical president, and if you can’t get there settle on minor president that occupies the center of public life for a while before getting to be argued as being under-rated like Van Buren.

The Biden mania check

Monday, August 10th, 2020

The supermarket impulse buying contraption, Joe Biden magazine, leaves something to be desired. Though, the various Barack Obama magazines over the years — the Nobel Prize commemeration perhaps the highlight of filling fluff — may suggest a coming four, eight years of reshuffling the same collection of words and photos. The article exploring his relationship with the Kennedys. The ones with him and the Obamas.

There is no Trump magazine sitting there — maybe a by product of the partisan make-up. Instead it is John Wayne… As counter programming. Interesting as somewhere in Orange Country his name has been stripped off something or other — “cancelled”, in the manner PDX has dropped “Kindergarden Cop” from the flicks in the park docket because … Insanity.
