All Crazy Conference.

November 2, 2024

As Stanford plays Saturday Nov 2 against NC State, the Cardinal will now have played two more games against each of teams from North Carolina and Texas than they will have against teams from Calfiornia.


NY Yankees especially in game 5 of the World Series bring to mind a very old joke. What do the NY Yankees and Michael Jackson have in common? They both wore gloves on one hand for no discernible reason.

One brighter note on Dodger victory for anyone outside Los Angeles. The last time they won a World Series, Trump lost a Presidential election. If that’s the devil’s bargain in 2024, I’ll take it.

Why isn’t this a bigger story? Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin wrote the ACA provision to allow young people to stay on their parents health insurance until they are 26.

Her opponent Eric Hovde wants to take that away. “It’s a stupid idea for this reason. All we’re doing is delaying younger people’s maturation. “And they need to grow up and move on and stand on their own two feet.

Of course Hovde is a multi-millionaire. If one of his kids’ had graduated from college and wanted to do an internship or study as a grad student without benefit, he’d either help them with insurance or medical bills.

(Dave McCormick, a hedge fund mega-millionaire has made similar statements. Pretty damn sure his kids have nothing to worry about either. 

JD Vance says he’s been “red-pilled” on vaccines. Oh, please, does anyone think HIS kids aren’t vaccinated?

Is it possible that Trump’s speeches are becoming increasingly lengthy because he thinks there’s a good chance after November 5 no one will want to pay any attention to anything he says again?

The biggest rating he’s going to get for an appearance after November 5 might be for the one that will start “Will the defendant please rise.”

Oops: MAGA Mike Johnson, campaigning for NY GOP Rep Brandon Williams was asked if he’d repeal Biden’s CHIPS Act.

Which per NY TImes brought “$100 billion worth of investment in semiconductor industry to Syracuse area. “I expect we probably will,

– Williams soon jumped in to say that he opposed repealing the CHIPS Act and would lobby the speaker.” They are so bad at governing.

How can Presidential candidate say of Liz Cheney “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when guns are trained on her face.”

Most would be arrested. Media still hung up on Biden’s garbage phrasing.

NY Times “Trump Attacks Liz Cheney Using Violent War Imagery.” Understand space is at a premium, but it doesn’t take more space to write the truth: “Trump Calls for Liz Cheney to be Executed by Firing Squad.”

Give Trump credit for one accomplishment. Gotten me to believe that for all I disagree with her on so many things, Liz Cheney is an admirable and brave patriot.

As we approach final weekend before election, remember, confirmation bias makes it very difficult to change a vote.

Much easier, convincing someone not planning to vote that their vote matters. If our votes didn’t matter, GOP wouldn’t be trying so hard to take them away.

So close

Mets -Brewers game for a while was a painful reminder of the season for SF Giants fans because no team could get a hit with RISP. Then Brewers took 2-0 lead (from back to back home runs) in the 7th into the 9th, and SFGiants fans got flashbacks to Camilo Doval.

Mets have the highest payroll in MLB (with the help of Ohtani’s creative math in Los Angeles.)

Dodgers and Phillies are 4th and 5th in the top five (others are Astros & Yankees.) Padres are 15th.

Meanwhile in AL, other than NY, remaining playoff teams are Royals, 20th, Guardians, 23rd, Tigers 26th.

In case you want to root for teams who will not or cannot buy a title.

For some reason, Fox News not only did not cover Liz Cheney’s speech endorsing Kamala Harris, but also after regular commentary trying to blame Biden and Harris for the port strike, is not covering on their website tonight that the ILA has reached an agreement to go back to work.

North Carolina Republicans won state legislature in 2010 & have gerrymandered it to keep control. They regularly pass bills against building and environmental regularations (along with bills against abortion and voting rights. Just one month ago, Govenor Roy Cooper vetoed their “building code regulatory reform bill” over safety concerns. But lawmakers overrode it.

Bruce Springsteen has endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The Boss has spoken.

Your move, Chris Christie.

Susan Rice great tonight on with Lawrence O’Donnell calls Donald Trump a “surrender monkey” and calls him America’s Neville Chamberlain.

Not quite true though. Neville Chamberlain did some good things in his life.

Well give Trump credit for accomplishing one thing most of us thought was impossible Kamala Harris saying “Can we hear it for Liz Cheney?”

Liz Cheney talking about her childhood as a young Republican: “I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray-tanning.”

For all that Trump complains about the evidence Jack Smith released about a month before the election, remember this: If Donald hadn’t been fighting to delay the trial for years, it would have been over by now

Trump saying today in Michigian ” if I thought I lost I wouldn’t be doing it – running- again. If I thought I lost I’d be on the beaches of Monte Carlo or something…” “Beaches of Monte Carlo? – A real man of the people.

(and ask any travel agent. Many reasons to go to Monte Carlo… wouldn’t put beaches in the top ten.)

Any airtime or stories about Melania Trump now are just distractions from the fact her husband violently tried to overthrow the 2020 election. Period.

CNN piece today questioning the “Republicans for Harris” campaigning Democrats are doing, including with Liz Cheney, and saying, GOP isn’t doing the same with “Democrats for Trump.” Maybe because there basically AREN’T any Democrats for Trump, .
