If you're not following me on Bluesky you're missing out on a marathon of fun paired history facts about the countries in every World Cup matchup, featuring once-in-a-lifetime sentences like "In 1893, 200 Australian sheep shearers boarded a ship to follow a leftist labor journalist around Cape Horn and establish a utopian socialist, teetotal, whites-only New Australia on free land in the Paraguayan jungle." Remedy this immediately. ...
t's great that the cage fight at the White House - an almost fatally embarrassing thing in its own right; try saying the phrase out loud - is happening during the NBA Finals, the Stanely Cup Finals, and the Men's World Cup. Unless he dies at ringside, it might be the 4th sports headline on Monday. Emphasis on "might be."
Sure we're auctioning off whatever tiny shreds of dignity we have left as a nation but isn't it worth it to maybe be the top story on Yahoo! Sports for 20 minutes between World Cup group stage results like "Paraguay vs. Turkey" and "Ascension Island vs. Bir Tawil" ...

The modern Democratic Party cannot survive the reelection of President George W. Bush and another four years of Republican control of both Congress and the White House.
No brag. Just fact.
And this era of bipartisanship, let's recall that Norquist still seeks to drown government in a bathtub, and both he and his close pal Karl Rove have long worked for the destruction or permanent marginalization of the Democratic Party, and by extension, their constituents.
