Things need to be written here today so you won't find a lot of new material on this blog. This might be a good time to see if there's anything else on the entire Internet worth reading besides my silly postings.
Like if you're interested in the California Recall thing, you might want to read Gabriel Debenedetti on where we are and how we got here. More and more, this is looking California Republicans just trying to get a do-over on the last gubernatorial election — which they lost by a wide margin. Unless Governor Newsom does something really dumb — and he did, at least once — the outcome of this one looks like it'll be Déjà vu — all the same people wanting him in, all the same people not wanting him in.
And Kevin Drum, whom I often link to here, has an interesting overview on why the Pandemic: It's wrong to try and blame it on the C.D.C., wrong to blame it on the F.D.A., wrong to blame it on Obama and even wrong to blame it on Trump. He also thinks it's wrong to see Vaccine Hesitancy as something that relates to the current Trump-dominated political scene.
I'll be back when I'm back.
