Someone should explain that a cumulative number is always going to be a new record. A least we know he can count; he reminds me of the "Count" on Sesame Street but with a much more panicked presentation. SS's "Count" is cool. <br /><br />I start that broadcast or a regular basis to see if perhaps a comet is about to hit Earth, but rarely make it to the end.

I think <i>everything</i> is offensive to <i>someone</i> these days, so this renaming thing is going to get old and complicated pretty darn fast.<br /><br />@McChuck- We're going to have to agree to disagree. The science I follow (yes, <i>science</i>) is quite clear about the positive effects of mask wearing - not so much in keeping viral particles out, as keeping them IN when someone is infectious. Meanwhile, the epidemic (pandemic, actually) is a long way from over. We can both cite articles endlessly...I'll just say that I believe the medical information that I've been following for months now, which has been accurate about everything.<br /><br />@John the Econ- I'll admit that the "News at Tan" format comes out when I'm stuck for how to make the day's news palatable. It's more or less what Mary Poppins preached with "a spoonful of sugar." Regarding sports, I never did really follow them - but now I actively loathe them. Seeing Fauci throw a <i>wildly</i> errant pitch from a "Black Lives Matter" mound in front of a deserted stadium was a perfect (and perfectly sad) representation of where we are today.<br /><br />@DougM- Dewey have any others in contention?<br /><br />@Anonymous- Oh, the humanity...<br /><br />@NSF- I'm glad that Ol' Remus' stuff will still be out there. Historians will need it someday.<br /><br />@Fish Out of Water & JustaJeepGuy- Don't know if you saw, but Trader Joe's is in trouble for using cultural variations of their name on their own products.

The NFL has already allowed their brand to be destroyed by this insanity. Even if they have a season this year, I doubt most people will care, especially now that we have a cadre of semi-literate players more interesting in educating us instead of playing the damn game.<br /><br />Sports was one of the few things in society that all kinds of people regardless class, race, or personal ideology could enjoy together. When fans watch a game, nobody asks if the guy sitting next to them voted for Hillary or Trump. They're just fans enjoying the game together. Now they're working overtime to destroy that. When these wealthy social justice warriors finally kill their golden goose, what will they do? The market for second acts like Kaepernick isn't as big as these guys think, especially in the wake of destroying the sport that makes them marketable in the first place.<br /><br />Wall of Morons: I've found myself in the minority in conservative circles on this, but I think that Trump should withdraw from Portland. By repeatedly re-electing the morons who gleefully engendered anarchy, the denizens of Portland have made it quite clear that they are fully on board with their city being overtaken by Progressive insanity. Let Portland, like Seattle, become smoking hole examples of what the Progressives have in mind for the rest of us. And then vote accordingly.<br /><br />Oh, and might as well <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/de-blasio-cancels-graffiti-eradication-program" rel="nofollow">add New York City to the list</a>.<br /><br />And remember, this is exactly how Germany got the real Hitler; anarchy, malfeasance, debauchery at unimaginable levels until the masses said "Enough!" and gleefully elected somebody to clean up the mess with a willingness not to care exactly how he did it.<br /><br />Masks: I hate them as much as anybody, but it's the reality for the time being.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-25052410066346530532020-07-24T10:23:46.935-05:002020-07-24T10:23:46.935-05:00OK, as long as we're throwing out suggestions....OK, as long as we're throwing out suggestions...
