Because this worked out so well the last time they tried this.

Dammit, Babylon Bee, you're not supposed to forecast the future!

Now, if you can get me the NFL upsets this week, or the next trifecta at Belmont, that would be useful.

He doesn't have my vote yet, but he's got my attention. His support for Medicare-for-All is still a stumbling block.

Interesting read.

Yes, the so-called New Liberalism was slow socialism, as was an American Progressivism recommending the sterilization of defectives to improve the Aryan race and a minimum wage to drive non-Aryan immigrants out of the labor force, not to speak of carrying a big stick and joining a war to end all wars. The slow socialism took longer to implement than the fast versions in Bolshevism and Nazism. It was pushed along by the taking of powers by governments in the 20th-century wars, hot and cold. Calling it “modern liberalism” has always been an abuse of language. And it was an abuse of people to implement it.

Consider the dodged tackle at ten seconds: The guy's in cleats, so he isn't sliding. All he does is slow down about two tenths of a second… Not enough to drop into the arms of the defender approaching at his rear, but enough to collapse the attacker at his fore into the pursuer's path, delaying the tackle until the TD was inevitable.

The arithmetic must have been instantaneous, a short —but practiced and voluminous— synaptic transit. And in those milliseconds, suffering an inevitable and perhaps crippling assault must have been the smallest part of his calculation.

How big a paycheck, did you say?

In Hollywood we call this "meet cute."

Younger and less sleepy.

Science is correct, Regular People are wrong. You are not an improvement upon anything, certainly not your forebears: You are merely alive. Today.

Good piece. The last two paragraphs are golden.

Even backing off the extremes being described there, modernity has shown a complete disinterest in anyone with an IQ of less than 100, or certainly 95.

Meanwhile, the Magic Carpet ride given to apple-polishers in the second half of the twentieth-century is the reason Donald Trump is president.

Those who spend their lives fuming about corrupt media, and imagine their hero DT to be fighting the good fight, are not a factor in the larger flow of events.
