@Maude It's that new Krylon bronzer. "Amazing. I love the smell."
Apparently The Atlantic is angling to be the next media outlet purchased by the #broligarchy...

We need an army of lawyers in #Texas because it is where cheating is going on. AG Paxton bragged about preventing 2 million votes.

Jason's song choice last night really points to the emphasis on (re)claiming connection with the working class - which can't be what the $$ people people who forced Biden out had in mind...
(I've covered that one a few times, and it's hard, because the guy in that song so strongly represents people I know...)
@tgraph52 Inside look at how the campaign press operated then, including long discussions with some of the heavy hitters - along the way, much insight into that election. (Crouse was sent by Wenner to provide a straight counterpoint to Thompson's reporting on the election, and ended up with a very good look at the reporters and "pack journalism" - a term I think he coined.)
@tgraph52 Two books: "The Boys on the Bus," by Tim Crouse, and "Fear and Loathing: on the Campaign Trail '72" by HST.
@InUnfunky @tgraph52 @Bix @JoyfullyDazed I can only think of that song in the context of Beavis and Butthead...
@InUnfunky @tgraph52 @Bix @JoyfullyDazed I'm more concerned about crossing out Kansas....though I do hope some other of Mrs. and Mr. Geraldo's tunes are ok...๐
Won't shut up and sing, play, write, teach.
