Links Because I Am Lazy

 It was largely a good day -- slept in a bit, watched J! (blew the Final), hit the gym hard, but... I was just so tired during the day, couldn't explain it.  Ok, aside from the not sleeping and sleeping poorly when I do.  I plan on hitting the sheets soon, in part to catch up, and also with the wind and the rain, no point in going out for a stroll.  I do need one, though...I looked at the scale at the gym.  Yeesh.

This is a very good question; I don't doubt that rates need to be raised, and prices must come down.  But... given all the other factors in the economy, I think some smaller raises in the rates and efforts to say, get people in the work force again, might have a more desirable effect.  But that's me.

Interesting and cool, even if I think it would be cooler if we were indeed all alone...

Does it, though?  I mean, for one, I don't think "Gutfeld" (funny as he is) has the cultural cachet, if you will, of late night network TV.  Two... I suspect Hollywood -- like everyone else -- ignores what it does not want to see.  Now, if this continues, and Gutfeld really puts on the numbers (say, three million viewers), that might change... but I am just not sure that it will happen.

Let's hope so!  Again, I am skeptical; the primaries were then, people are less excited (especially if their guy  lost), we are operating at a cash advantage in many places...I realize I am gloomy gus in these situations even in the best of times, but I see a very difficult climb to get the Senate back.
