Exponential Growth Supreme Court Packing
Exponential growth is great for your 401k but not so much for the U.S. Supreme Court. But that’s what we might expect if Joe Biden packs the court. Follow the link to Real Clear Politics for a real clear example.
Pelosi’s Threat Comes and Goe
Nancy Pelosi’s threat of a Tuesday deadline to accept her stimulus terms has come and gone. They’re still negotiating.
I liked my original sketch better with Pelosi holding a gun to her head. But editors might not run it. So, if a cartoon falls in the forest and nobody sees it… what good is it?
I thought it was pretty funny when Cleavon Little did it in Blazing Saddles. (Trigger word warning for humor impaired)
NBA Title mostly watched by Cardboard Cutouts
Lebron won his fourth NBA title but nobody saw it. Well, not exactly nobody – in addition to the cardboard cutouts, 8.29 million breathing people watched on ABC. But that was 57.6% drop in viewership since LeBron’s last NBA Finals performance with the Cavs in 2018 .
Commissioner Adan Silver seemed to think that another area where LeBron execells, social justice messaging, had something to do with it. So next season the players will be asked to message on their own time.
Vice Presidential Debate puts Fly to Sleep
Compared to the presidential debate last week, Wednesday’s vice presidential debate was pretty presidential.
Mike Pence was so calm he wouldn’t hurt a fly. At least he didn’t seem bothered by the fly resting on his head while he expressed his support for law enforcement.
That fly wouldn’t have stood a chance if Barack Obama were still around.
Stand up and Fight the Virus Like Trump
Maybe more of us will be able to stand up and fight the virus like Trump. At least that’s what two former FDA commissioners seem to think. And they say it could still happen this fall. Scott Gotlieb and Mark McClellan write in the WSJ that Regeneron and Eli Lilly have applied for emergency authorization for the antibody treatment Trump received.
Helicopter rides not included.
