1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

I sometimes feel like a radio fan in the early days of television, ranting about the theater of the mind versus the idiot box. But I suppose markets are markets. In the end, I'm sure there will always be audio-only pods, even if I have to give up on some faves.

I think a lot of the love it gets here is well-marbled with irony. It's an absurd show in many ways, but such a visceral thrill that it's enjoyed on two levels.

Publicizing this kind of thing provides a permission structure for his fan club to jump off the MAGAwagon, whether it's with a regretful "I was wrong" or a self-righteous "he changed."

It’s the summer of 1981 and you find yourself in Dayton, Ohio. Wondering what kind of fun can be had, you buy the local newspaper and open the entertainment section. Oh. My. God. The Kenley Players (at Memorial Hall) have a virtual cornucopia of star-studded entertainment! I’m gonna see Ed Ames

For "Nebraska," Bruce wanted music that felt like "a waking dream" and a record that moved like "poetry." The 1982 acoustic LP is both, and it endures as one of his most seminal works — 44 years after its release.

Benny Johnson probably played a role in queueing up Eric Schmitt’s hilarious faceplant today in the Senate. You can always count on Benny to be humiliatingly wrong about everything. Remember when he tried to claim that Nazis who harassed TPUSA were actually leftists and he was gonna unmask them?
