Yes! Sitting in traffic on the way to Lax was worth it to listen to the Second Gentleman and Michelle (I like to think I'm on a first name basis with her. I am not). I am excited. But please don't tempt the gods. She hasn't won yet. And the con has more evil tricks up his sleeve.

Thank you!

And your timing is perfect.

Michelle just took it out behind the new Taco Bell and murdered it.

I wish I could Vote Blue. Canadian reader here and big consumer of all things Decision 2024. Whether it’s your Substack (great to read your DNC history), Franken’s podcast or daily NPR coverage and analysis. You can hear the hope and enthusiasm at the DNC this week. You got this, Blue.

That must be why he had someone contact me to ask me what I thought the right gift might be for JD Vance. I suggested one of those Red Skelton paintings.

I lost it when the camera zoomed in on that painting. I hope you sent that very one to Newt. 🤡 😂

Sorry to be a noodge but the GOP candidate in 1992 was George H.W. Bush (the kinder gentler one)

The Bob Dole velvet painting makes me miss Bob Dole even more than I usually do.

I was so thrilled to hear Michele's sharp and perfect attack back after all these years of silence.
