We got to meet Sugar Blue once! He came through Helena one day & visited the museum while Sonny Payne & me were on air. We invited him on the radio with us. Lots of solo recordings and guest appearances . Surely most notable for the Stones’ “Some Girls” & “Emotional Rescue.” Good times.

I think whoever did the commercial was using Brad to make fun of her slacker husband Bryan and they're both too dim to realize it. Bryan is done so well that THIS is the Wiki he's listed on.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders made a welfare ad about a lazy white guy, and the right wing lost its mind demanding she use a Black woman instead, then said the quiet part out loud in the replies. She told the truth about who actually needs a job, and the base wanted the racist version.

Oof! Lowest level ever for Brewer Lake since it became Conway’s water supply in 1983. Maybe we should hold off on those data centers. * Full disclosure: I am not a fear-mongering Chinese propagandist.

PMC COVlD Update, Sep 28, 2026 (US): 🔸We're in a 13th COVlD wave. 🔸40 states & territories continue to have COVlD outbreaks, stable from last week. 🔸Levels likely peaked between Sep 7-13 at a PMC-estimated 580,000 new daily infections. pmc19.com/map

The US has at least 40 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks, the same number reported last week. These include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 40 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, and Tennessee likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor.

Nuance:
Note that while PMC uses forecasting to estimate national statistics through Sep 28 and beyond, the state-level data do not, meaning they are now 9 days old. If the national forecast is correct, levels peaked between Sept 7-13, closely aligned with our prior forecasts. This would mean that levels are declining more so than depicted in the map. Levels often decline slowly, suggesting the need for ongoing precautions. Additionally, Biobot and 200 CDC sites are offline this week, and both have experienced major retroactive corrections of late, so the national forecast has more uncertainty than usual. For example, we could see the peak adjusted upward or a double peak. It is unclear how quickly reporting will resume at the offline sites.
