Babylon Bee is cooking again.
In prophetic retaliation, the Chick-fil-A manager threw down his rod, which became a larger serpent, devouring the other two while gagging--a common reaction to eating anything from Popeyes. Arms spread to the awed patrons, the Chick-fil-A manager proclaimed, “Let not your hearts be hardened like unto how tough Popeyes chicken is. For what is that stuff they slather onto their tenders, old Rice Krispies or something?”
“Well at least I’m open on Sundays,” said the dejected Popeyes employee, gathering his trick-staffs from the ground. Reciprocating with a smug, “So is Hell,” Chick-fil-A's prophet retrieved his rod, changed it into a microphone, and dropped it.

Stand up for Stefanik
Powerline encourages its readers to help Rep. Elise Stefanik.
Rep. Stefanik is in a competitive race for reelection and soliciting support to carry on the fight in Congress. Her tweet below has a link to her page for campaign contributions. It is also accessible here. She is soliciting contributions in amounts as small as $5. I just donated $100 to support her campaign.

The more, the merrier
For weeks, fringe Democratic candidates have been dropping out of the race for the 2020 nomination.
This week brings new faces to the contest.
When all is said and done, this is mostly about Joe Biden’s troubles in the race, as well as elite heartburn about the potential for Sen. Elizabeth Warren or Sen. Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic nomination.

Dealing with death
You learn about the deaths of high school classmates and their parents from various places.
Rarely for a blog post based on a New Yorker article as Michael Chabon tells of keeping vigil over his dying father.
Focusing on their bonds over Star Trek, and how he remembers his father.
In the days and months that followed, I tried to find ways to mourn my father. I said Kaddish. I talked about him to my own children. I posted boyhood photos of him to Instagram. But mostly I wrote episodes of “Star Trek: Picard,” through and over which mortality and loss played like musical themes. The truth, I’ve sometimes had the nerve to tell someone who knows how much, in spite of everything, I loved my father, was that I had been grieving his loss since I was twelve years old; it was definitely easier the second time around. When I miss him, I find comfort—just as I did forty-four years ago, when he first left me behind—in his perfect, constant, undiminished presence in my imagination; his voice in my head, anytime I want it; his opinions, his jokes, his enthusiasms and vanities and lies. But sometimes, still, I wake up in the middle of the night, trapped in the broken elevator of insomnia, haunted by the cruelty of mercy and its logic, and by the pleading of the devil in the dark.
At our high school, we did the musical "The Pajama Game" our senior year.
The play's director lost her husband a few days before our performance.
On opening night, she brought a hat that her husband loved to wear. She gave it to Chabon to wear for his character in the show.
It was almost 40 years ago, but the memory came flooding back upon reading his article.

You light up my life
Babylon Bee hits another home run - with news about the Greta Thunberg mural in San Francisco.
“We want the mural to really make a positive impact in the fight against climate change,” a spokesperson told sources. “Greta’s pouty glare is certain to generate guilt and shame in many motorists, but that didn’t seem like enough. By adding the lasers, we can begin taking out the worst offenders in their Hummers and Land Rovers.”

Baltimore's Heisman house
It's rare for an NFL team to have more than one Heisman trophy winner on their roster.
The Baltimore Ravens have three.
And all three were in the backfield for a play Sunday.
Griffin said he had been patiently waiting for the play to be called.
“We’ve been asking for weeks and weeks,” Griffin said. “All of us are pretty dangerous with the ball in our hands. It worked out.”
The razzle-dazzle was part of the Ravens’ third touchdown drive, and it was another example of the creativity being featured in each week’s game plan.

It's a joke, son
Politico finally figures out Trump and his supporters.
They get the joke.
For Trump and his defenders, a little gentle self-mocking does more than just warm up a room. It can neutralize his opponents’ attacks. And it can let Trump off the hook even when he probably isn’t joking, as when Marco Rubio argued last month that Trump was only kidding when he declared that China should investigate Hunter Biden.
But it’s most powerful when it makes his supporters feel that they’re in on Trump’s jokes in a way the establishment isn’t. In a sense, this effect is an extension of the 2016 campaign formulation, likely coined by GOP strategist Brad Todd and popularized by Peter Thiel, that Trump’s supporters “take him seriously, but not literally.”

When the wall came tumbling down
This weekend marks 30 years since the East German people broke through the Berlin Wall.
The dominos fell in place for the side of freedom.
The specter that haunted America’s containment policy during the Cold War was the “domino theory”—the idea that one nation after another would succumb to Communist aggression or revolution. In 1989 the domino theory came true in reverse—nearly the entire Communist world fell almost in the blink of an eye.

Think they just did a "search and find?"
Then they are smart, too.

Who's next to drop?
Legal Insurrection looks at the wobbling Democratic contenders to see who will be the next to fall.
There's plenty of reasons it will be Kamala Harris.
Many of her dilemmas are self-creations. Harris undermined her national introduction with costly flubs on health care, feeding a critique that she lacks a strong ideological core and plays to opinion polls and the desires of rich donors. She was vague or noncommittal on question after question from voters at campaign stops. She leaned on verbal crutches instead of hammering her main points in high-profile TV moments. The deliberate, evidence-intensive way she arrives at decisions—one of her potential strengths in a matchup with Trump—often made her look wobbly and unprepared.

Willie Brown got calls last week in San Francisco.
Some friends in areas under blackout asked to workout at his building.
Not really.
After about the third call I started asking, “Do your really want to work out?”
“No, but I could really use a place to shower before going to work,” was the usual reply.

Who's going to buy when the rich have to sell?

If they try to sell stocks, someone must buy.
If they sell property, someone must buy.
If they sell artwork or physical assests, someone must buy.
Where do those people get the money?
Warren thinks it can be done.

Blowing whistle on whistleblower
The whistleblower behind the impeachment rush is a Democrat from the Obama White House.

Lost in the transition
Democrats love Medicare for All.
How do they get there?
That's the problem.
And it’s possible that Medicare for All would cover health care for more people at a lower total cost than we spend now, meaning the average cost per person would go down. The problem is transitioning from what we have now to whatever Medicare for all would be. And it’s a giant problem, like crossing the Mississippi River without a bridge or a boat. The other side might look great but you’ll die before you get there.
Drowning in red ink.

Thrill on the Hill
There's one less Hill on Capitol Hill - California Democrat Katie Hill
Although NBC News doesn't get to the bare facts.
NBC buys Hill’s claim that she is a victim, without even mentioning the fact that she and her husband entered into a three-way relationship with the much younger campaign staffer. Nor is there any mention of Hill’s heavy drinking, irresponsible behavior while drunk, the photo of her with a bong, and so on.

Facebook quote of the week
Realized I was reading Bon Appetit’s November issue, with its high-end recipes and gorgeous Thanksgiving photos while snacking on Crunchy Cheetos. No regrets, just a strange dichotomy.
Saturday song
The Vogues are happy with the new commercial featuring their song. Just turn around and look.

Field of losers
There's lots of Democrats running for the honor of losing to Donald Trump next November.
Democrats did this to themselves by going coastal. They produce senators who know Washington like the back of their hand but know little about the country they would lead.

Asset management
Matt Taibbi skewers Hillary Clinton for seeing Russian assets everywhere.
Everyone is foreign scum these days. Democrats spent three years trying to prove Donald Trump is a Russian pawn. Mitch McConnell is “Moscow Mitch.” Third party candidates are a Russian plot. The Bernie Sanders movement is not just a wasteland of racist and misogynist “Bros,” but — according to intelligence agencies and mainstream pundits alike — the beneficiary of an ambitious Russian plot to “stoke the divide” within the Democratic Party. The Joe Rogan independents attracted to the mild antiwar message of Tulsi Gabbard are likewise traitors and dupes for the Kremlin.
If you’re keeping score, that’s pretty much the whole spectrum of American political thought, excepting MSNBC Democrats. What a coincidence!
