Song of the Day 12/15: Diana Krall, “Christmas Time Is Here”
Yesterday I said "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was the saddest Christmas song, and Nathan Arizona nominated this one as a challenger. He's almost right -- almost. This is…
Actually, no. This is always bullshit and the country is almost always split within a 60-40 range on practically any issue or person you can think of. This is one of the many ways that the basic idea that "lefties need to shut the fuck up and the right wing needs to get whatever they want" is expressed in The Discourse. I'm sure Biden's going to give a bunch of speeches designed to appeal to "David Brooks" ("David Brooks" is just the stage act of David Brooks, who in reality also doesn't give a shit) about coming together and all that, and it'll only matter if he believes his own bullshit. Which he probably does. But it won't matter in the sense of UNIFYING THE COUNTRY because that's a stupid goal anyway.Duncan Black gets it. Also - Coons is a liar or a moron to continually prattle on about working with Republicans. It is Kabuki staged to please a handful of media gatekeepers.
