Random thoughts Friday, Volume CLXXI

  • Biden gets laughs at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.  Trump turning up noses with farts in a Manhattan courtroom as he drifts off.  Dark Brandon > Sleepy Don.
  • Make it known from on high:  Democrats repealed the 1864 Arizona abortion law, with the help of (literally) a handful of Republicans:  Three in the state house and two in the state senate voted with all Democrats to repeal the law after the Democratic governor signed it.  Even after the public ridicule, Republicans did nothing.
  • Props to journalists like Susanne Craig and Andrew Weissmann for cutting through the noise and concentrating on issues in their analysis of Trump’s legal foibles.  Unlike some who think this is a drama, they’re sticking to facts and analysis.  
  • Conservatives are more angry that a few dozen people took over a building on a college campus than they were when thousands of their supporters violently attacked the Capitol.  House Republicans going to colleges to voice outrage, but they call Jan. 6th attackers “hostages.”  Priorities, people.
  • Marge Taylor Greene is just teasing her offer to yank Johnson.  If she thought it would actually succeed, she’d have done it weeks ago.
  • People saying Kristi Noem’s publisher should have told her to remove the part about murdering her dog don’t understand that the publisher’s job is to sell books, not coddle or protect the author.  Noem’s “people” were the ones who let that through in a manuscript that was supposed to endear her to voters; they read the galleys (or should have).  The publisher just publish and sell the story; the writer–or ghostwriter in this case–choose the stories.
  • A $9,000 fine won’t shut Trump up, but simply by being stuck in the courtroom during the trial, he’s learning that possible confinement would not be desirable.  
  • I don’t expect anything scandalous to come from Lindsay Graham’s phone hack.  I’m certain he has a burner for his personal life, just like Matt Gaetz.
  • Donald Trump saying he’s going to give pardons to all the January 6th defendants if he’s reelected is a secret-squirrel way to get the insurrectionists to turn themselves thinking they’re going to get on the clemency list is all a ploy because Donald Trump is really part of the Deep State.  
  • Cinco de Mayo is not a holiday; it’s crass commercialism of Mexican-ish history to Americans to sell tequila and beer.  
  • The House “impeachment hearings”–which were just GOP campaign efforts–are mercifully over, but Republicans will continue hyping Biden family profiteering from the Oval Office while supporting an NFT-issuing, Bible-shilling sneaker salesman for the presidency.
  • That corrupt Deep State is only going after Henry Cuellar and Bob Menendez and their wives as cover for their blatantly unjust prosecution of Donald Trump.  (Right?  Is that how it goes?)
  • USC canceling their graduation ceremony hits fourth-year seniors particularly hard because they did not have a high school graduation ceremony either due to the pandemic.  If their college graduation is canceled that’s a life memory they will not experience.
  • I’d say Kristi Noem is the Michael Vick of politics, but Michael Vick was remorseful.
  • Being the feature act of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, in front of 2,000 of the most influential people in the country, must be intense, and I give Colin Jost props for just getting up there, but the one-off “roast”-like joke didn’t work in the venue.  It’s a thoughtful crowd; it needed deeper jokes than one-liners.
  • Spring officially arrives when the faint scent of flowers lingers in the morning air.
  • Best meal at an ethnic restaurant I ever had came thanks to a friend in the Air Force who had served 10+ years as a linguist in South Korea.  About ten of us went to the basement restaurant in Korean neighborhood in Baltimore; my friend starts talking to them in Korean.  Turns out my friend was stationed by the owners’ families’ hometown in Korea and they knew mutual friends.  We ate for free that night–we paid a heavy bar tab, tho, justly–enjoying some dishes I’ve never had before and likely will never have again.  And we had a pepper eating contest at the end.  My friend won.  Cheers, Jim.
