I'm not a betting man. Aside from one Saturday at Ruidoso when I broke even, I am lousy about predicting. Who can guess what will be setting off the MAGA cult next week? If I had been suckered into bets, I would have lost bigly on Taylor Swift, Bud Light, speaking respectfully to or about people different from myself, award-winning fiction, Disneyland, or all the other snowflake-melting "controversies."

One can only hope that Ms. Swift can encourage her 6 million followers to vote Democrat in the '24 election. Holy moly I can hear djt now, how corrupt, it was a plot, a conspiracy, the election was rigged, etc.. I can't wait.

1) It is most important for her to encourage young people to register and vote, which she has a demonstrated, and outsized, capacity to do.

2) Whatever happens, we can be sure that Donald Trump will claim the election was "rigged" even if he wins! (Remember his absurd 2016 claim that he got 3 million more votes than he did?) We should be prepared for the societal upheaval he will cause.

I'm with you. Follow my college teams, but not much into NFL (no Austin-based team!) until the playoff rounds. So now I'm all in. And definitely watching the Super Bowl! (With the Chiefs, who were in Super Bowl I when I lived in KC as a kid.) Bring on the beer and snacks!

I really enjoyed your fever-dream conversation with Vinnie. And once again you've outdone yourself: R-Loser? R-Batshit Crazy? R-Insufferable? You really ought to get a patent on your political labeling. And who knew that the Democratic Deep Staters even had a long game to plant Mahomes and Kelce in the Kansas City Chiefs, get one of them to date Taylor Swift AND take a COVID vaccine, all to get her 11 year-old fan base to get their parents to vote for Joe Biden? Clever.

The Deep State is clearly playing a long game here. Kind of like they did with women's soccer in the 1990s and early 2000s.

But I've said too much.

Watch it Deece. Vinnie is reading this. You may end up eating a little plutonium with your Migas.
