While I think a viable 3rd party might be an improvement of our current clusterfuckery, I think the optimal number of parties is zero. Based on the words of his farewell address, I suspect George Washington would agree.

If I were a few decades younger, it's hard to imagine that "War.gov" ads would inspire to me to call or visit recruiter.

Fortunately, I have NOT had the (dis)pleasure of seeing a Ken Paxton ad, which other non-Texans have reported.

I don't have access to traditional cable channels, though watched the Sox/Guardians game on TBS, via HBO app (or whatever it's called now). Speaking as a washed-up ad agency guy... I kept seeing the same 3 or 4 ads over and over (and over) for three 1/2 hours. Is AI doing media buys?

2/2 Uh when Trump was in HS..."Stretch" McCovey had already been in NL for several seasons, had been Rookie of the Year and an All-Star. Trump who was 70 in 2026 was telling the kind of lies a 3rd grader tells about their grandfather.

1/2 I paid very little to Donald Trump for decades (I never saw The Apprentice) but something I noted during the 2016 his claims that: •He was the best baseball in the state of NY and •He was invited to tryout with the Giants "alongside Willie McCovey."

There was a phrase that the Reagan Administration popularized, that apparently was originally a Russian proverb. Regardless of the origin story, "Trust, but verify." is solid advice this time of year.

Nothing proves that the current Middle East War is a smashing success more than POTUS musing that he might annihilate Iran "after the election."

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

861 wounded 19 dead Administration has misled (aka "lied about") troop casualties in the Iran War. Any member of Congress that isn't pushing for Senate/House Defense Committee investigations, and/or impeachment should be required to remove their "We Support The Troops" bumper-stickers.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Earlier I was tormented by constant low-volume rhythm. It was maddening. Fretting that it was a plumbing or HVAC issue, I began slowly walking around the basement. Eventually, I noticed the source, lying my on my adjustable desk, and I exclaimed: “It is the ticking of my hideous analog watch!”

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?
