Forgive me for suspecting Schumer knew exactly what was going on with those eight "rogue" senators, LONG BEFORE they decided to cast their votes. SO sick of these cynical back room deals. If it's not time for a new party, it's time for an active insurrection w/in this one. #AOC #FeelTheBern #Mamdani

Before I pick up from where I left off in the script & pretend there hasn't been a 6-month gap in this discussion of #TARfilm, #Hemingway, #icebergtheory, and #ToddField, permit me a digression that will, I promise, connect to the main ideas. It was inspired by A.C. Bradley's SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Clayton Kershaw? Doing it FOREVER at or near the top of the heap in MLB as a starter? Yet only 34% of Nerds Like Me seem to want him on the roster?
People are assuming that age = disintegration...but check the numbers!

Lie #1) Because the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill has broad support among #Ireland 's voters, we're labeled as anti-Semitic. We are not.
Lie #2) Bigotry of that kind only being indefensible until it supports Israel, Ambassador Huckabee labels the #Irish as drunks. We're not.
Fuck you, Ambassador.

GARNETT BLAIR PUTS PHILLIES BACK ON TRACK
The Philadelphia ace made an Artie Wilson run in the first stand up for a win. A memorable duel with the Red Sox's Joe Dobson. Blair improves to 13-3; Phillies' lead over Brooklyn up to 1.5 games.
