  1. Didn’t they already do this the day after the debate?
  2. Papers reporting that a leading neurologist who specializes in Parkinson’s had visited the White House 8 times in the last year (per visitor logs) and the WH press corps went hard after KJP on the subject today, so they needed to put out this fire.
  3. First Schumer and now Jeffries. So much for congressional leadership applying pressure on Biden to step down. Unless he swallows his tongue at his “big boy” press conference on Thursday, I think we have our Democratic Party nominee.
  4. Seems pretty clear which way the wind is blowing on the Hill:
  5. It’s like the end of Last Crusade, when Indy is reaching for the Holy Grail. But instead of Sean Connery telling him to let it go, Biden has Hunter whispering in his ear to keep reaching for it.
  6. I’m only half kidding when I say that the Republicans are probably looking for a way to push back their convention a few weeks to avoid shifting the focus to them.
  7. Short of exercising the 25th Amendment, there is no leverage to force out a President who is simply convinced that everything is fine and he is the best person to beat Trump in November. He’ll play chicken with donors who threaten to withhold donations, knowing that if he stays in long enough, they’ll donate again because they don’t want Trump. His polling has dipped, but isn’t cratering and he thinks the race is a toss up. The people he trusts most are family and they are telling him to stay the course. He apparently carries a chip on his shoulder with the Obama and Clinton crowd, and any pressure they try to exert is likely to be counterproductive. For anyone interested in a good discussion of the above, watch Mark Halperin’s latest Zoom call from yesterday.
  8. Is there any real basis for this beyond random accounts on TexAgs or SEC Rant saying “we should move to the Big 10”?
  9. FWIW, from the little bit of OTF I watched this morning, Bobby said he’s hearing ten years and Gerry said that “it’s essentially a lifetime deal.”
  10. Richard G. West is a Tennessee troll that is always spreading false rumors during coaching searches. It could end up being Schloss, but this guy has no inside info on it.
  11. Damn shame what they did to that dog
  12. I have a special place in my heart for Slacker because it’s a perfect time capsule of Austin when I was at UT. For those with no affinity for the time or the place, I can see why it wouldn’t be as entertaining.
  13. Getting involved with a femme fatale who wants her husband dead does not typically work out well for the male protagonist in these kinds of movies.
  14. Plus one on the good reviews from me as well. I really did not expect that ending because it diverges so much from the tropes of the genre, but I liked it.
  15. Haven’t watched it yet, but heard good things about “Hit Man,” the new Linklater/Glen Powell movie that drops today. Will try to catch it this weekend.
  16. Another good take on that video posted above:
