Beverly Hillbilly Elegy?
So now we know who the future of America is, at least according to those who feverishly believe it has been preordained by the Lord Almighty. Yesterday afternoon it was announced that J.D. Vance, not yet 40, barely a year and a half into his career of public service, was anointed to become the chosen
Brenda and Dylan Forever. And Trust Me, She Knew Worse.
Within minutes of my hitting the “publish” button on yesterday’s musing where I snarkily referenced we had been spared the “death comes in threes” psuedo-truth by a couple of inches, the news came from multiple sources that indeed a third celebrity had passed with a 24-hour period. This one, while all but unexpected given the

Our long national nightmare–well, at least the one that may have been keeping Shari Redstone’s now-former employees awake–is over. UPI’s Paul Godfrey was among the many that broke the news earlier this morning: Paramount Global, the owner of Paramount Pictures, CBS television, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV said Monday it had accepted a $8 billion
