What a Dick
Moderators closed tonight’s Wisconsin Senate debate by asking each candidate to say something they find admirable about the other.
Lt. Gov Mandela Barnes (D) said Sen. Ron Johnson (R) is a “family man.”

Spending some peanuts for Universal Healthcare is bad for the economy, causes inflation, risks making workers (more) lazy. But throwing a couple of billion dollars at defense contractors for useless garbage is good for the GDP. Microsoft’s augmented reality Hololens goggles are getting a rough ride in tests by the US Army, according to internal […]
Song of the Day 10/13: Angela Lansbury, “Beauty and the Beast”
Angela Lansbury, who died at age 96 on Tuesday, always played older than she was. MGM frequently cast her as a 40-ish woman, usually a villain, while she was still in her 20s. When she was nominated for an Oscar for her role as a villainous mother in “The Manchurian Candidate,” she was only three […]

Hunter Biden’s Lap Top Made Me Do It
If you are a conservative, it is not illegal to spray paint “TRUMP SUCKS!” on your own car to try and get 850 likes on your FB page. It is not illegal to leave yourself threatening voicemails or mail yourself postcards with “BLACKS RULE! KILL WHITEY! JOE BIDEN ROCKS!” scrawled in blood. I guess it […]
Song of the Day 10/12: The Flamingos, “I Only Have Eyes For You”
I always thought of this as a quintessential doo-wop song, because the Flamingos version is the only one I had ever heard. That’s because I was never a fan of old movies, so I had never seen the 1934 Busby Berkeley musical “Dames,” in which Dick Powell sings it to Ruby Keeler. Several big bands […]

Song of the Day 10/11: Audience, “You’re Not Smiling”
Audience was a short-lived British band that got lumped in with progressive rock because of the their unusual instrumentation. Formed in 1969, they had no lead guitarist — their rhythm section was fronted by vocalist Howard Werth, who played an amplified nylon-string acoustic guitar, and Keith Gemmell, who played tenor sax and flute, often supplemented […]
