I was thinking Dire Straits for stuck in the middle with you, if not them than somebody like them and it is Stealer's Wheel, who were maybe one hit wonders because I don't know anything about them. I noticed the misappropriation earlier but was assuming that the Scourge would get to it before me. I wonder if the Scourge is going soft. I hope not., we need the Scourge and the Razor to pry the truth from the tangled webs of bullshit, of which we are stuck in the middle of.
I can report that the left ball/right ball thing was as popular in Gage Park as it was on the north side. Probably should we stroll by the our old schools we would see that very thing going on without a word changed in fifty years.
I remember when Pogo first came out. I think it was before I could read because my grandmother told me she would read it to me every day. That went by the by, but I rather envied the denizens of the swamp, because they never had to go to school or work or anything, just hang around in the swamp and ride rafts and cool things like that. Later on I remember they had a character who was a draft dodger and they were down on him, and about that time I stopped reading it.
But I still read most of the comics in the Sun-Times and the Trib. Perhaps we could have a discussion of them, but not this busy Monday morning.
What I read is that the northern wall, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan is going azure in the 2018 elections, but that's the prediction for now. My guess is that the tariffs are what will bring the reps down in 2018, but I, like Beagles, have been wrong before, and as I think it was Eric Sevareid was fond of saying, only time will tell.
I've tried out my Avenatti theory in front of several of my liberal audiences and have found no takers. I would like to think this points to a high-mindedness among dems that you don't find in today's reps. But what about this scenario? Avenatti enters some of the primaries, maybe as kind of self-promotion, and the crowds go wild. Suddenly he is soaring in the polls, and he is attracting people who don't normally vote (perhaps the guys who voted for Trump, but who had voted for Obama in 2008 (an interesting slice of the electoral pie, I don't know why they aren't studied more). and the other candidates, say a social democrat and an old guard, and toss in a savvy centrist, are going nowhere. The polls show that they will lose to Trump in a landslide. They also show that Avenatti will win in a landslide. Whither do the dems drift?
And let's throw in some skeletons in his closet. The dems would never go for a guy who talked about grabbing pussies. or had suspicious investments and wouldn't reveal his taxes, but say some other lighter blemishes like drug addiction in his youth, would the dems go for him? Say he was the only one who could beat Trump. I would go for him. Beagles wouldn't because he likes Trump, but I wonder which way the savvy centrist would cast his vote.
There were no real changes coming out of that latest EU meetings. That European guy was just kissing up to Trump because Trump is a fool for flattery. There is really no making a deal with Trump because the only kind of deal Trump likes is where the other guy gets screwed. Eventually none of the real estate guys would make any kind of deal with him and that's when he went to the Russkies.
