Dude needs to be careful what he wishes for.

Part of the whole Mexican prejudice does have to do with drugs, given Vance’s family history with drug addiction, which was the basis for “Hillbilly Elegy”. (Which I have not read, nor have any desire to read.)

As a Reds fan, I find this depressing.

I don’t know if you’ll be able to access this or not but Doc had a good column on Jeff Ruby. https://www.proquest.com/docview/2659005486/90DC5039120C4D3APQ/74?accountid=1060 If you can’t access it, let me know.

I know, right? I guess opinions can change but I’m still scratching my head over that endorsement. But I did find it amusing to watch the Republicans fight each other during the primary season. Some of the ads I heard were just plain bizarre.

Well, the Trump endorsed Republican Senate candidate just won the Republican primary here in Ohio. Granted, almost all of the Republican candidates sucked this year.

All I keep hearing is that the midterms are going to be a bloodbath for the Democrats. I think Roe vs. Wade may be just the issue to wake up Democratic voters. Here in Ohio, there will be another primary once the state districts are FINALLY agreed upon, but right now, the US representative districts are redrawn but heavily gerrymandered in favor of the Republicans. Today was the first time I missed voting in an election ever, due to COVID, and it sucks because I really wanted to vote.

Hubby reminds me of this every time he sees him.

ABC was just talking to Karlaftis’ mom and grandfather and now a commercial.

Karlaftis is gone to the Chiefs. Travis Kelce is happy.

They haven’t even announced the Patriots’ pick yet.

I will be watching ABC but alternating between this and “Law and Order” for the first hour at least.

No, no, no and no. We have a good locker room vibe right now and bringing in a sulking Baker Mayfield to play 2nd string at his salary would mess that up. Plus, Paul Brown Stadium is Joe Burrow's house.

Question: I wonder if that is something he could negotiate as part of a future contract? Instead of taking a huge pay day, take part ownership of the team instead. That could save money for other signings, maybe, but I don’t know how you would structure that with the salary cap.

The Republican contest to run for the US Senate is a shitstorm. The only candidate I would even think about voting for would be Dolan. The rest are fighting to see who can be the Trumpiest. But both parties suck.
