While the Dems - ably supported by the media - wring their collective hands over the suitability of Biden as a President 🔗🎙️ Olberman (15 minutes) wonders why absolutely nobody .. anywhere … is asking the same question about the other guy?

I mean - nobody.

📺 The Lincoln Lawyer

One of those shows that was originally a movie .. so you don’t bother. On this one, I eventually gave in and just finished the second series, so I guess good .. right? Right.

📺 The Last Thing He Told Me

Not ‘unentertaining’ (is that even a word?).

I did get to the end .. which doesn’t always happen, even though ‘the why’ I got pretty much immediately.

The Last Thing He Told Me

🔗 Stonekettle Station: Raggedy Man

So let’s say you make that change. Do you have a plan?

If not, then why the change?

If so .. then what is it?

It’s a valid question, though Jim might have got to it sooner if he had a good editor.

I know there are few Doctor Who fans that float around in my spaces … so sharing this for them … 🔗 Best of the Whoniverse … and if you are also a writer .. double share.

A lot of chatter in many places about the elections in the UK and the USA. A recurring refrain … “If the Brits can do it .. so can we.”

Just to remind my American friends that on pretty much anything that Britain does .. the US will likely do the opposite and always different .. even if they are the only ones on the world to do it … and absolutely having no regard for the consequences.

My recommendation? Keep focussed on what American voters need to do. You made your decision to break from the UK centuries ago, so who cares what we are doing?

Your choice later this year is one of two things.

  1. End your democracy and in turn empower the rest of the nut jobs around the world to do the same.
  2. Vote against that.

You the voter are in charge.

Still in doubt? I commend you to take a listen to Kara Swisher’s 🔗 🎙️ July 4th Special: Why Heather Cox Richardson Still Has Hope for American Democracy

🔗 📼 The King Must Die

Bob makes the connection 🔗 here

Elton might have written the music, performed it, made it famous - but it was Bernie who wrote ….

No man’s a jester playing Shakespeare
Round your throne room floor
While the juggler’s act is danced upon
The crown that you once wore

And sooner or later
Everybody’s kingdom must end
And I’m so afraid your courtiers
Cannot be called best friends

Caesar’s had your troubles
Widows had to cry
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
And the king must die

Some men are better staying sailors
Take my word and go
But tell the ostler that his name was
The very first they chose

And if my hands are stained forever
And the altar should refuse me
Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in
Should I cry sanctuary

No man’s a jester playing Shakespeare
Round your throne room floor
While the juggler’s act is danced upon
The crown that you once wore

The king is dead, the king is dead
The king is dead, the king is dead
Long live the king

Bob often nails it - and I do like his style.

🔗 How the Ultra-Wealthy Think About Money

For the ultra-wealthy, money is effectively not finite. It’s just a resource to be pointed at any burning thing. I know you’re looking at your banking app saying $broke and wondering, “how can this be?” and yet: it is true. The most counter intuitive thing is that, not only is the money faucet boundless for them, but in fact, most of the money coming out of the faucet is not their own. People who control large pools of money are very, very eager to let billionaires use their money.
