Michael McDonald just performed “America the Beautiful” at the Democratic National Convention’s Barackopolis location.

Instead, I’m just going to link [...]

As today is Father’s Day, I will provide an interesting piece of patriarchal trivia: Did you know that Ronald Reagan was the last U.S. president to not be named after either his father or his grandfather?

I’ve been reading (in starts and stops, but mostly the latter) this book. It’s pretty great and does a very good job of not getting too bogged down in either the Jefferson or the wine.

Given that today is both Super Tuesday and Mardi Gras, I wonder if there will be people outside our polling station handing out strands of beads and screaming “Show us your ballots!”
