October is upon us, which means I dive into my collection of spooky classical music.

Any other enthusiasts out there? What do you listen to?

Here are some of my faves (these are just albums I own, my Spotify playlists are bigger, of course).

Amazing how the minority part that controls neither the White House nor the Congress is somehow "holding government hostage."
Sen. John Thune digs in on GOP funding bill, accusing Democrats of holding government 'hostage'
The Senate majority leader said on "Meet the Press" that Republicans aren't budging on their short-term bill and that Obamacare tax credits can be addressed later — with reforms.

A statistical fact, eh? Would appreciate hearing his definitions of lunatic, proud, and leftists. If we're going to start tossing around terms like statistically significant, definitions matter.
You’re lying, JD Vance. Stop using tragedy to stoke divisions between Americans so you can grab more power.
Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left."

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance.

When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

Just finished a book that hooked me more than most do: Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary. I'm not a hardcore sci-fi fan, but this book struck a perfect balance of science and fiction.

Any other Andy Weir fans out there among the blue skies?

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

This matches my own experience with audiobooks. I love them … and agree some books simply don’t work well as audiobooks.
