You’d Think We Were Talking About RICHARD Nixon
It’s been a pretty celebratory week so far if you happen to be a Democrat–slightly more so if you consider yourself a progressive. THE GUARDIAN’s Joseph Gedeon was downright gushy with his report of how it began on Monday: House progressives, long dismissed as the Democratic party’s leftwing outliers, are heading into the next Congress
That OTHER DC Also Gets An Upheaval
Given that yesterday was going to be the first time that Skydance was going to report earnings since the megastudio was minted last month you know it was going to be a big news day. That established, I’m not sure even the investment community was fully ready for the shots fired which DEADLINE’s dutiful Anthony
Something For Just About Every Taste. Just Like The Cheesecake Factory
Yeah, I’m well aware that the mere mention of The Cheesecake Factory carries an outsized amount of tsurris of late. But no matter what ideology you might somehow have there’s no denying that it somehow provides something for anyone of any background or regimen something worth indulging in, even if the price for it is
I Know It’s Spelled R-A-M-A-N. Ramen’s Cheap. Just Like Talk.
You’ll need to try and forgive me if I’m not quite as exuberant about the blue tsunami as perhaps those in areas where candidates with track records and/or broad visions drove that sea change. Nithya Raman will soon be the mayor of Los Angeles, and other than the fact she is not Karen Bass I’m
Reminder: With Six You Still Get Egg Roll
You wanna know how to get my attention? Do something that involves my real hometown of Flushing, New York. The one that provokes the punchline “Good Idea” when one asks what one thinks of it . During the summer, between the Mets and the U.S. Open, there’s ample reason to have a least of smattering
Who Needs People Anyway?

From rather humble beginnings as an eager rising star at Warner Brothers when it was far and away the largest-staffed and research-forward
Surf’s Up, Guv!
A blue tsunami hit land Tuesday night, and it’s the very definition of a perfect storm to those who have endured the last decade sludging through more mudslinging and manure than any farm animal ever had to deal with. It’s apropos that the weather is downright perfect on both coasts for a blessed event of
Thank Freaking Pod
We interrupt this blue tsunami to share some more personal victories. Pinky promise I’ll have something to say about that eventually. I’ll say this much for now: Congratulations, America. Those of you that cared enough to show up did so–and in some cases historically. Take at least today as a victory lap if you must.
Vote. No Matter Who.
It’s Election Day for those who choose to celebrate. If I can, you certainly have no excuse not to. I’ve already cast my votes, joining an approximate 57 million per the AP as of this writing who chose to take care of matters ahead of all of the supposed shenaningans with Black Friday-level lines and
