Open Thread, Nov. 7: Eagles, Fast Cars and Taylor Swift

Alt-right darling Taylor Swift is already widely despised, but for some reason she doesn’t want to be associated with white supremacists — so much so that she has threatened to sue a web site for making note of their love for her. I guess no-talent “artists” have to protect their reputations because that’s all they have to sell.

The Philadelphia Eagles are having an unexpectedly good season, and I must admit I thought the team’s fans would be more obnoxious about it than they’ve been so far. The team is shaping up as the feel-good football story of the year, at least for bettors who believed in them. Their Las Vegas odds of winning the Super Bowl were 65-1 before the season, but they’re down to 4-1 after their win Sunday.

The guy who attacked Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul apparently did it for a completely understandable reason. No, he wasn’t mad because the clueless little twerp is a Tea Party Republican or because he doesn’t like Trump enough. No, Dr. Rene Boucher tackled Rand Paul because he doesn’t like the way he disposes of his grass clippings when he mows his lawn.

The biggest reason not to give rich people a tax cut is obvious — they’re irresponsible children and they’ll just waste the money on frivolous crap. Here’s an example: a production automobile, the Koenigsegg Agera, that just set a new speed record on a Las Vegas highway. It costs $2.1 million, more if you order under-body rust-proofing.

And finally, just in case you ever thought Wilmington City Council was something more than a work-release program for indigent bullshit artists, feast on this story from WDEL about a woman who was beaten up by members of Hanifa Shabazz’s family allegedly while Shabazz watched and did nothing.

Add anything else you find noteworthy.
