"Talent and initiative are important, but not as important as looking and sounding like us."

I wonder how long the leashes Albernaz and Elias are on actually are. What happens if the first 40 games of 2027 fall below reasonable expectations? (Or even minimal ones.)

In a sense, does it even matter? "Gee, I wonder which senior White House official is a crass, woman-hating, arrogant jerk..."

Not sure what your point is. You do know I was being facetious, correct? And the difference between then and now is that there's a greater societal belief, or so it appears, in the testimony of women.

Let's send Maxine Waters over to rough him up a little. (It's a joke, Michael, you little wuss-boy.)

Thereby locking in the women's vote. Is there any constituency he isn't eager to alienate?

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

"Yes" would have saved him a lot of words.

Of all the guys who came up together, he always seemed like the adult in the room, in a good way.

I suspect this is one of the side effects of Westburg's extended absence. Work ethic beyond fault, seems like the sort of player who keeps teammates accountable.

Ayn Rand rises from the grave.

No, what he really said was, "Let's go, Brandon."

Does fetish gear qualify as "knick-knacks"?

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I know he has to be at the center of everything, but jeez...

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

And drinking it, too, one assumes.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Given the timing, seems highly probable the Times was already on this. But if they were, would they have reported it? Sad we've reached the point where these become questions worth asking.

Hope you got to Nepenthe. Love their beers.

They're not weakening the system sufficiently.

Erasing the line between human being and brand for more than 40 years.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Has his priorities straight.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

So much of this is rooted in the belief that children are the property of their parents, without individual agency.

Cornflakes. Soggy after 3 minutes and a black hole flavor wise. Not enough sugar in the world.

Will no one spare a kind thought for a selfless oligarch?

The Fan Man by William Kotzwinkle. The prototype of the post-hippie novel.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Six, to be accurate. But it became a thing because of France's lack of enthusiasm for our adventure in Iraq. The point is not chronological accuracy but cultural currency.

Who could forget the cheese-eating surrender monkeys?

Not quite true - to work for Trump, you must *enjoy* it.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This is assuming that Lamb, as worthy a candidate as he would have been, could have beaten Oz. Not an assumption I'd necessarily make.

Or childrens' hospital administrators.

Someday these people are going to learn you can't get by on charm alone.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Would not take this at face value.

Dude, I am a Pennsylvanian who voted for him and know many others who did. To a person, we feel cheated. Sylvester has a better chance of catching Tweety than Fetterman has of carrying a Democratic primary.

I feel like we've spent too much time over the past eight years paying attention to paper.

My daughter's 33 and she remembers it well.

Hold on, here - what if it's an ecological disaster *and* a potential threat to mankind? The ultimate twofer.

And as we know, the world is teeming with rapacious hussies whose only goals are to snatch your seed and make you their subject,

Am I the only one who prefers her makeup-free look?

And that sports franchises have not become a license to print money.

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

My concern - and I think we're starting to see it already - is that Dem candidates with an eye for the main chance will position themselves as "fighters" for us and pray no one asks for specifics.

Once read an excellent interview with James Hunter, who toured with VM for a spell. Hunter figured his role was to be a Jack the Lad counterbalance to all the guru types hanging around. Probably much like Georgie Fame.

A gambit popular with "bipartisan" Rs who clearly get permission in advance so as not to discomfit The Boss.

"Especially if they're picking strawberries. I understand there are a lot of openings."

Bill McCoy @ivylander.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

The fact that they're trying to make this a slap at Usha, rather than at Vance's very probably racist deceased father, indicates an elevated level of "we got nuthin'."

Aspiring bass players - and a number of professional ones - should never listen to this. It will make you throw your instrument out the window.
