Personal to Mark Eichmann: Destroy that tape! Shortly after Biden announced, WHYY’s Eichmann did a radio interview with me where I confidently predicted that Biden would peak upon his entrance into the race and be an afterthought come 2020. Well, in fairness, I was almost correct. He was near-comatose for much of the campaign, only to be rescued in South Carolina. He then rode that win to a very impressive Super Tuesday performance four days later. A great four days. My fear? What happens when, not if, that near-comatose Joe resurfaces? If he’s the nominee, a lot is riding on his Veep pick. Gimme Stacy Abrams, regardless of who the D presidential nominee is, unless it’s Elizabeth Warren. I’ll also settle for Cory Booker. Mayo Pete? Veterans’ Affairs. Amy? Senator from Minnesota.
It’s Official. Coronavirus Deadlier Than The Flu. 3.4% mortality rate. BTW, people in Washington state are really pissed. As well they should be.
Trump Administration Claims That Iraq Is Dangerous For Iraqi Christians–Then Deports Iraqi Christians. Using, of course, diametrically opposite, and mutually-exclusive, arguments.
17 Ways Trump Administration Bungled Coronavirus Outbreak. You almost have to work at it to be this incompetent.
Bloomberg To ‘Reassess’ His Campaign. Not even Vince McMahon is pissing money away so needlessly (this time, on his second attempt to make the XFL work) as Bloomberg. Oh, well, he’ll always have American Samoa. BTW, did you see how many of his bleeping commercials ran during the Super Tuesday coverage last night?
How Biden’s Victories Belied His Campaign. The wins came almost in spite of his campaign. Does that make you feel confident going forward?
UD Runs Into A Skeptical Joint Finance Committee. The continuing arrogance by the leaders of the university practically begs for a legislative intervention. And legislation requiring transparency looks like it’s on the way.
What do you want to talk about?
