As a former NCAA Division I soccer player, I say never forget women's sports are a blast to watch. Sen. Erik Schmitt of MO looked up men's bball games on a 2024 date to try to prove Jack Smith was in Atlanta at a Hawks game & perjured self. Smith was in MD watching Caitlyn Clark. #Hawkeyes #TitleIX

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

Chuck Schumer: "The founding fathers called America God's noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideals for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

Had the great fortune to spend the weekend w my dear friend Nell "Mickey" Bright celebrating her 105th birthday. Mickey was a WASP during WWII and we have been friends for 30 years now. She not only flew B-25s during the war, but after the war became the first woman stockbroker in AZ.

Two smiling women - the one on the right was a WWII pilot. They are celebrating her 105th birthday.

Stephen Colbert talked about what « Jump Up », the Elvis Costello song he just sang on the Late Show finale, meant to him in a 2012 interview with Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh. It’s an interesting choice!

GROSS: Right, right, OK. So let's move on to another recording that you named as one that's been important to you, and this is Elvis Costello, who unlike king Herod has actually been on your show several times, including on your great holiday special a few years ago.
COLBERT: Right.
GROSS: And tell us what this recording is and why you chose it.
COLBERT: This is a recording - this is a demo that Elvis Costello did in a hotel room. It wasn't released
on an album originally. I think it was - I've loved this song for about 20 years. It was released as an album extra off of "My Aim Is True," a reissue in the early
'90s. And it's called "Jump Up."
And what I like about it is - one of the nice things about having a show is I've gotten to meet a few of the people, artists that I really love, and Elvis and I have become, you know, somewhat friends, which I just can't believe that occasionally therell be a voicemail on my phone from Elvis Costello, telling me he just ran into Bill O'Reilly in Reykjavik.

(LAUGHTER)
COLBERT: You know, that's a completely surreal message to get on your cell phone to a kid who was rocking out to, you know, "Armed Forces." But I love the song because it's sort of a satirical song. It's got a parodic nature to it, or not a parodic nature, but it's really, it's got sort of a political, satirical song.
And I've never discussed this song with Elvis, so I might get a message from Elvis Costello after this interview with you, saying, "You know nothing of my work. What are you talking about?"
(LAUGHTER)
COLBERT: But I've always thought of it as a - it's sort of like a - it's a person who is talking about insignificance in the name of power or of something that they want, and also talking about the hypocrisy of politicians. The second verse goes:

And that seems like a young man who does - like, has no personal power. He's a statue standing on the corner. No one's noticing him. But he's looking at the girls going by, and he's trying to figure out how I am someone significant enough to be noticed. How else can a boy get to see those pretty pleats, which clearly means their skirt?
But also it's got the word pretty please in it, and so by describing what he wants, he's also describing how he feels about what he wants. You know, let me see your skirt, pretty please. And those kind of lyrics are all through Elvis Costello's work, and I'm sort of in awe of his ability to often write in character, like as, you know, Spike the Entertainer. He sort of writes in that character. He's wry. He's sort of sardonic.
And I'm not a musician, but his music speaks to me and is - if there was somebody's songs I wished I had written, it would be Elvis Costello's songs, and this is a song, one of the first songs I can remember thinking, God, I wish I had written that.
GROSS: OK, so let's hear it. This is Elvis Costello,
"Jump Up." It's a demo recorded in a hotel room or a bedroom or something in the mid-'70s, very lo-fi Elvis Costello, a great recording.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "JUMP UP")
