Finance it all the way

ROCKVILLE, Md. — For the first time in my life, I passed by Eastern Motors, where your job is your credit.

The crude production values of the dealership's commercials makes the jingles so catchy that they've been in my head ever since Marnie & I drove by the store.

Those of you who don't live in the D.C. area should click here to watch one of the many Eastern Motors ads. Here's another one. There are many more, but you get the point.

I'm still disappointed that no Nats have appeared in any of the ads. Back in 2005, I joked that I wouldn't believe we really had a ball team until one of the players showed up in an ad. I bet that Dmitri Young will be the one to break through.

In the non-battleground states where she did not meaningfully compete, she underperformed 2020 by 3.9 points . This means that i n the places where the Harris campaign spent money and organized and knocked on doors, she did better.* Duh, it wasn't enough. Yet consider the political environment in 2024 for incumbent parties: across the world this year, each governing party facing election has lost vote share. Every single one. (This is the first time that had ever happened.) No one would suggest that Democrats pat themselves on the back when the result of their efforts is a Donald Trump victory. But look at this chart:**  The red dot is the 2024 Democrats, the ...

USC goes commando

Image
I've always thought USC cheerleaders were pretty classy (to the extent that such a classification is possible in the cheerleading world). They wear long-sleeved white turtlenecks, rather than the skimpy tops donned by most cheerleading teams. But yesterday I discovered that a USC Song Girl named Megan Ramer doesn't wear underwear. Britney Spears, are you responsible for this?

Paperweights have become paperweights

Image
When something goes unused or becomes obsolete, it's said to become a paperweight. Is your cellphone slow and out of date? It's become a paperweight. Is your laptop too slow to use? It's become a paperweight. Do you never use your Apple Vision Pro? It's become a paperweight. Weirdly, paper itself has become a paperweight. People do their work on laptops, tablets, and phones. Most homes don't have printers. Not only do we not need paperweights, we barely need paper!
