    Looking at that photo, I keep expecting black blood-speckled locusts to start pouring out of his mouth.

    My first car from a police auction was an '87 Impala stripped of the lights and painted all black.

    They took out the turbo charge too but it still hauled ass and I owned the freeways in L.A.

    I always thought that the foreign terrorists would hit one of the buildings that has his name on it.

    From CNN: No new commander in chief since Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 has faced a tougher baptism of crises than Biden. His inheritance dwarfs the alarming scenarios that confronted President Barack Obama, whom he served as vice president, in 2009.

    I’m not sure on that claim.

    April 1945: Truman, after less than 3 months as VP and after only 2 meetings with FDR, becomes POTUS. WWII is still on. We have the nukes. Japan isn’t surrendering. Drop the bomb or no?

    El Paso County, where Colorado Springs is located, went from 22 percentage points in 2016 to 11 in 2020, part of a wider shift toward the state going nearly full-on blue.

    LBJ came in with a nation in shock, civil unrest, Vietnam ramping up, the space program woefully behind and Cuban missiles 13 months in our rearview mirror.

    At least WWII was about to end. The question was how much longer before Japan gave up. Russia jumping into the Pacific theater as well.

    I submit Ford who got promoted after Spiro Agnew resigned and then stepped in after Nixon resigned and had to piece the country back together post Vietnam.

    The same thing happened in Douglas County, which isthe affluent suburbs of the Denver metro area. The two counties have about 17% of Colorado's population. If the Republicans don't get that turned around Colorado is California east.

    Which is where it's heading, but yes, those are the most pivotal counties for Republicans in the state. Not enough population on the Western Slope or the eastern Plains.

    Alabama-5 actually held on as a Blue Dog district longer than most. And Madison County went from plus-16 GOP in 2016 to plus-8 four years later. But they’ll shift the boundaries to offset Huntsville with more Sand Mountain pillbillies, or even split the county between districts before they allow it to go blue again.

    I want to have a beer with a Sand Mountain pillbilly chick. Could be fun.
