They call it “Super Tuesday II”, but it’s only six states and a couple are foregone conclusions. Mississippi is almost certainly going Biden, and most of the others are leaning that way. The wins and losses are well known in advance, so don’t expect big surprises.
Except — maybe you should. (more…)
After opening fifteen hundred points down, the stock market dropped another two thousand. Consumer goods are up 20% — hoarding toilet paper does some good after all — but the rest of the market is through the floor.
Coronavirus fears, a massive price war for oil, and a certainty among financial wonks that a downturn is due: All these come together to create a truly nasty couple of days, (more…)
We have a new guest columnist; someone came in and left this on the empty desk over in our Sports Center. Unlike most others, this one also left a release. Wonders never cease. -Editor
Football season’s over and the Virus is keeping a lot of folks home, but there’s always good conversation over at my favorite watering hole. There were a bunch of us talking about Tulsi Gabbard yesterday, and her strange Hawk and Dove view of foreign policy. Makes sense to me, but not everybody gets it. But then McK weighed in on the subject, and his words are worth repeating (more…)
I am NOT a medical expert. I’m not a doctor, an immunologist; I’m not even a licensed ambulance attendant any more. So when I tell you things about a viral outbreak, you should take them with a grain of salt. (So to speak. I’m also not a pharmacist.)
But when I talk about panic, you should listen to me. When I tell you about history, you should listen. And when anyone else who is not an immunologist (more…)
It’s official. The race is down to three candidates: Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and… oh, yes, Tulsi Gabbard.
With Warren’s announcement this morning, the last of the minor candidacies has ended. We won’t see eight people on the stage in the Arizona debate; we’ll see two. Not three, mind; The Party has been (more…)
Yesterday, Democratic voters in fourteen states and American Samoa participated in our quadrennial contest, where we choose the contender for the upcoming presidential race. People flocked to the polls in overwhelming numbers, in many cases swamping the facilities and staff to register their selection.
Common wisdom has it that the winner on Super Tuesday will (more…)
It’s here.
Tuesday’s vote will decide who stays in the race and who goes home. It may decide who comes out of July’s convention as the final candidate. In that sense, it’s quite possible it may determine our next president. I cannot overstate the importance of this primary event.
On the other hand, common wisdom has it that, as always, The Fix Is In. There’s (more…)
This may seem like a minor state contest, but in the greater scheme of things it’s vital. The entire D.N.C. conceit of identitarian politics is being tested today, and we’ll get to watch in real time. (more…)
Most of what I write that’s not Gonzo satire is fact, or as close to it as I can come. In this case it’s different; the entire topic is subjective, and what we’re discussing here is entirely about motives and speculation. All I can tell you is what I’ve been told, what I’ve read, and what I’ve extrapolated from other sources; there’s some (more…)
Miami doesn’t really exist. It’s just (more…)
