Remains of the Day (08/28)

The obituary of Cathy Smith, the one-time muse of Gordon Lightfoot (she inspired ‘Sundown’) who is better known for being the one who injected John Belushi with the fatal speedball https://t.co/s23jXzTy0H

Wow, the infamous Cathy Smith has died. WSJ had recently done an Anatomy of a Song about "Sundown," an absolute classic single. I don't know much about the Belushi situation, but why do I feel like she wouldn't have been vilified nearly as much if she had been a man?

Who's ready for some major tennis?

Breaking via NYT: The NBA and its players's union announced a plan to convert league arenas — provided they are under team ownership control — into polling locations for the November election as part of an agreement to resume the playoffs on Saturday.https://t.co/W97i70OcIj

Finally, some good news.

After alleged mass shooter Kyle Rittenhouse shot several people in Kenosha, he casually walked towards police and gave them what appears to be a pre-planned hand signal. And the police didn’t lay a finger on him.

But did they take him to Burger King?

“We’re giving Alice a full pardon. We are going to do it right now," announced Pres Trump, much to the surprise of Alice Johnson, whose life sentence he had previously commuted after she served 22 years. Pres said pardon means Johnson can now do whatever she wants in life. pic.twitter.com/Un4ZArMX4Q

Yes, quid pro quo.

Happy birthday to all these famous names, including (apparently) big star Jason Priestley: https://t.co/njbw2fNfCQ pic.twitter.com/nCnM5X2DXu

Worshiping at Jason Priestley's altar.

Google declined to remove ads that echo President Trump’s misleading claim that there is a meaningful difference between voting by mail and absentee voting.

Facebook removed similar material in response to a Post story last week. https://t.co/Q6WXAxIUYH

Is Google just another Facebook? 

Remember: With Election Day just 67 days away, it's time to think about how you're going to vote this time around.

I spent (more) time (than I should have) reading and responding to comments left in posts of friends of mine from Arizona and Michigan today and WOW. Even if leadership changes in the months ahead, we are still saddled with 40% of adults who are, um, "deplorable." As a nation, where do we go from here?

What do you do when half of people are irredeemable? Asking for a nation.
