A long extract from a PJ Media article on Kamala's book, because it's just too good: If you’re laughing already, brace yourselves, I haven’t even gotten to the funny party yet. The memoir, which hit shelves on September 23, recounts in painstaking detail her abbreviated campaign after Biden abruptly dropped out of the 2024 race. One of her earliest calls? Not trusted Democratic leadership. Not voters. Not Biden. Not even her own campaign brain trust. She called the Clintons. "Very few people have ever made this decision," Kamala explains, praising them for offering "candid and confidential advice." "One of your strengths,' they said, ‘is that you bring a joyful energy to the campaign. You have to choose someone who won’t work against that,’" Kamala wrote of their conversation. "They told me to be aware that over the course of the campaign, people will be able to tell if it is a genuinely good relationship or a political marriage of convenience." The Clintons, the embodiment of political calculation and transactional partnerships, were warning her to avoid a “political marriage of convenience”? That’s like Hunter Biden advising someone on fatherhood. Now, of course, as funny as that is, the real punchline here is that she sought advice on how to pick a running mate, and she landed on Walz: the one person who did nearly as much damage to her campaign as Kamala herself.

True story: "Maxwell House" coffee rebranding as "Maxwell Apartment." [T]he brand is offering consumers even more value with a 12-month “lease” of Maxwell Apartment, designed to stock up coffee lovers nationwide. Beginning on National Coffee Day (Sept. 29), Maxwell House’s 12-month “lease” offer of Maxwell Apartment coffee is available on Amazon.com, while supplies last. For under $40, fans can stock their pantry with a full year of coffee – designed to save coffee enthusiasts more than $1,000 annually, compared to daily café runs, which on average can add up to more than $90 per month. Along with the rebranded canisters, the year-long supply of coffee will come with an official Maxwell Apartment “lease” to sign.

Update on Michael Mann at the end of this post: "It turns out he only resigned from his fancy schmancy administrative post. He's still getting his tenured professor salary." Rats. He just stepped down from his Vice Provost position, but he's still the director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media as well as a tenured professor.

Day 3 of the shutdown. I'm stepping over bodies now, entire blocks are burning, the power is out and the sun failed to come up!

Reply to JCM in 7: What I find most entertaining is that most of what people consider to be the "Federal Government" are the Departments and Agencies are Executive Branch. President does have "total control" over them, within defining legislation. They just don't like that it is Trump in charge.
