    All I can tell you is that I left *everything* on the playing field. Where in the Hell Is Our Cat?

    Beautiful and moving speech by just now. And I loved that he mentioned the down ballot races. Those matter SO MUCH when it comes to making change. Congrats to him and his team on their win tonight.

    Narrator: It was impossible.

    Our exit polls, while small in sample size, look disastrous for the Biden team. One thing is clear - while Biden does have an advantage, if EVERY single Bernie supporter shows up to vote today, Bernie will win South Carolina. It’s not impossible.

    “Elaine,” he said, “you’re from up in Stone County, and I don’t think Ernie wants to tell you this, so I will. You don’t make Jell-O in a regular serving bowl! You serve Jell-O in a form, shaped like a fish or a flower or something."

    This eulogy is so great.

    At the ’s website, Charles Portis’s longtime friend and colleague Ernie Dumas shares his eulogy from the funeral, including Portis’s strict Jell-O Rule.

    "He was, I realized, a kook." William Finnegan in "Barbarian Days," when he sees that the guy who was now with his ex-girlfriend couldn't surf worth a damn. He was soothed somewhat by this small moment of Maui justice.

    Very interesting thread on One Man's Decision 2020.

    It's been a while since I've had a primary vote that mattered — since 1988, when I lived in New Hampshire and voted for Jesse Jackson. This time, it's a harder call, as I think it has been for most non-Berner Democrats.

    Has anybody worked out the case-fatality ratio of the virus in "The Stand"? I guess it was basically 99.999999999etc. percent?

    That was weird. For 15 seconds or so, I could not quite remember how to spell "lengthy." The decline is accelerating.

    I made baked ziti a few nights ago, and I forgot that once you've eaten some, you have a half-acre of leftover baked ziti. If you're in Santa Fe and you're a football team, a large church group, an Army unit, etc., call and I'll feed you.

    Now that's what I call lore! (I have no idea if this is true.) From a review of the legendary Santa Fe-area roadside steakhouse, El Nido.

    Nothing makes you feel more like a dude than striding up to the ticket counter at the Violet Crown theater, waving off the chance to buy a 16-ounce beer, and meekly requesting a "rain check" for your two tickets to the family friendly Disney remake of "Call of the Wild."

    It's not too late to tinker with the concept: Hilary's podcast could focus on Southern True Crime and be called "Who Gigged That Frog?"

    I just had to photocopy somebody else's work memo, which featured use of very nice bright-orange highlighter. The copier turned it into the dud orange of a Monopoly card. It doesn't seem right or fair.
