Dancing in the dark

August 10, 2024

Does it make me an old fogey if I don’t understand why Breaking should be an Olympic sport?

Per USA Today’s Christine Brennan, American women.”are winning medals at such a terrific rate that if they jettisoned the guys, they would be third in the overall medal standings, behind only the full U.S. team and China. “


How cool would it be to see all these women at the first woman US President’s inaugural in January

Saturday’s USA win in the women’s 4 by 400 relay – by FOUR seconds, reminds me of being a kid watching Secretariat in the Belmont.

To put it in baseball terms, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is looking like the relatively unknown trade deadline pickup who catches fire and makes an already good team look like a World Series favorite

While some are arguing whether Trump’s emails were hacked by Iran or leaked by a disgruntled staffer, can we also discuss whether using Celine Dion’s “My Heart will go On” without attribution at Donald’ss Montana rally was just illegally using music or an equally disgruntled staffer putting an exclamation point on Trump’s campaign having become the modern-day voyage of the Titanic?


So now reports that Trump is calling Kamala Harris a *bitch.” 1. You don’t think as a strong woman Harris has been called worse by insecure men? 2. Tina and Amy were right on SNL Weekend Update

Da pain, da plane

When you go from trying to jinx a no-hitter into the 7th to cheering a walk-off win in the 9th… you must be a 2024 SF Giants fan.

Just told a friend I have known since our sons played little league together that our Little League coach would have benched Camilo Doval and told him to get his head in the game.

Looks like SF Giants agreed with me.

(SF Giants sent their closer, an All-Star in 2023, who has DEFINITELY not had his head in the game, to AAA to work on stuff.)

Look, I try to avoid gender stereotypes but when you hear that two heavily favored USA relay teams competed for Olympic gold today in Paris, one won and the other got DQ’ed because they couldn’t work together simply to pass a baton… Why do I think that most people would correctly guess the DQ’ed team was the men?

Will someone explain to me how the sex-obsessed GOP can decide high school boys can’t handle being in a bathroom with tampons, but they can handle those same bathrooms having urinals where they all can check out & compare each other’s junk?

Some are freaked out about idea of boys seeing tampons in their high school bathroom. Though surely boys aren’t as clueless as my high school days? Classmate told me about her date from hell with guy, no joke, who thought Carrie had cut herself in that movie shower scene.

WTAF? Now Donald is threatening to sue the NY Times because he says he has flight logs for his fantasy helicopter trip with Willie Brown. I am sure Trump will release those flight logs when he releases his big beautiful health care plan.

Trump’s plane today did have to make a landing for mechanical reasons in Billings, Mountain, about 150 miles from Bozeman. And if that isn’t some sorrt of metaphor for his entire campaign I don’t know what is…

Trump is now fundraising off of pins with his mugshot on them. Maybe Donald’s doing a clearance sale because he realizes the next picture might be him actually behind bars?

DonOld’s act is getting tired, and the crowds are falling off. Is this finally going to be the final season of Presidential Apprentice?

Washington Post thought they needed a whole article on pronouncing Kamala Harris’s name?!! It’s Comma-la. You’re welcome.

NY Times is so all in for Trump.

Headline “Fact-Checking Claims About Tim Walz’s Record. Only if you click do you see 2nd line “Republicans have leveled inaccurate or misleading attacks on Mr. Walz’s response to protests in summer of 2020, his positions on immigration “, etc…..

Don’t listen to people who don’t know Tim Walz. Listen to Minnesotans who know him. And as Amy Klobuchar who campaigned with him wrote in “The Joy of Politics” about 2022 – “Our Governor Tim Walz & the rest of our statewide ticket won. We flipped state Senate & won the House.”

NY Times so all in for Trump.
