As if 2020 couldn't get any shittier.

I will say here something I've been saying
to friends the past few months and that is
that I think the *real* October surprise is
gonna be that Pubic Hair Thomas will give
up his seat because of some backroom deal
with the devil so he can "spend more time
with the family." If that happens, then we're
looking at a 7-2 Court. ...and folks, you might
as well start packing your bags with copies of
"Lonely Planet" and "Pimsleur."

Most foreign countries aren’t accepting Americans

Three unassailable tracks!

RIP to a woman who changed how the world viewed feminism with a song and also captured the definitive soft rock pop awesomeness of the 1970’s.

I also want to say something personal about I am Woman. I was around first or second grade when I first heard that. I used to listen to my little radio all the time. My dad was drunk and yelling, insulting, and even physically beating my mom all the time. That song was a voice that taught me so early on that what I was being exposed to was wrong and there was a different world out there. With how much I loved music you could say that song taught me how to be a man instead of a woman beating bitch. When I heard that song it was clear as a bell what was right and what was wrong. Huge huge gratitude and props.

I'm very sorry to read about the abuse you and your Mom suffered at the hands of your father, OH. That is terrible, and it makes me angry even to envision it. I'm glad you had Helen's "I Am Woman" as a guide and hopefully a source of some comfort as well.

'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

A powerful verse right there. I can only imagine what you went through OH, my friend. Personally, I'm glad to know you.

Haven't thought of Helen Reddy or Mac Davis for decades.

[ribbons]

Mac Davis's crowning achievement was writing "In The Ghetto" for Elvis.

He's also the computer instructor voice for the Spongebob 4-D ride. I only know this because I just looked up his wiki. lol I remember the Mac Davis Special, and for some reason I thought he was on Hee Haw.
