At some point in the next few weeks, Taylor Swift will publicly endorse Kamala Harris. One nanosecond later every MAGA Moron will announce they will boycott her forever. As if they’ve ever spent a penny on (or even liked) Taylor in the first place.
I’m really looking forward to two of my favorite TV shows returning. One is NFL RedZone, which will take up my entire Sunday afternoon. The other comes Monday, when the new season of “Jeopardy!” premieres, hopefully with a long run of regular contestants rather than the invite-only tournaments which have long since worn out their welcome. Yes, I know that wasn’t in the form of a question.
When you see anyone posting the results of a national presidential preference poll, pay it no attention whatsoever. It’s not that the numbers are wrong — it’s that they’re meaningless. If we chose our presidents based on the popular vote, no Republican would have made it to the White House since Bush 41. Unfortunately, we use the incredibly flawed electoral college system, which puts the full power of electing our leader in the hands of a small number of people in just a few counties in about seven states. So, when you read “Kamala is up by five points,” remind yourself that statement is completely irrelevant.
I was so disappointed when I read that breakdancing, which debuted this year at the Olympics, will not return as an event at the 2028 games in Los Angeles. After all the work I put in to perfect my routine! Okay, it wasn’t really a routine. I was just me trying to get my 66-year-old body up off the floor. But I did it with style!
I’ve had a lot of high points in my life, but few have surpassed the feeling from my childhood of having enough change in my pocket to buy a chocolate milkshake from the Mister Softee truck when it rolled to a stop in front of the apartment building I grew up in.
