The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Israel – Hey guys, kudos on spreading the war to the rest of Middle East…With luck, maybe you can make these genocides, too…Maybe – and SB5 pollsters know they’re dreaming here – just maybe you can all nuke each other back to the Stone Age before the US gets involved.
2. Los Angeles Times – Hey guys, way to not endorse a presidential candidate…A bunny rabbit should earn an endorsement over Donald Trump – still a lying, sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars – but a bastion of liberal journalism is unwilling to endorse Kamala Harris is wrong…Yay for the editorial board endorsing Harris, boo for the owner overriding them.
3. USA! USA! – The 3-hole staple…A hundred years from now all new people – perhaps Americans, if there are any left – will look back at the Donald Trump Era and conclude that America tolerated the three-time nomination of a man of zero moral and intellectual substance because America herself was no longer a nation of any moral or intellectual substance.
4. New York Yankees – Hahahahahahaha!!!…A devastating, utterly crushing 10th-inning loss on a game-ending grand slam home run could not happen to nicer people…The remaining three (3) games are a formality now…#Ooopsies!!!…Two (2) games as the Yankees lost Game 2, as well.
5. Fact Check: Special Election Edition – Click here for assorted lies, misinformation, and inaccuracies from the 2024 election.
Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow likes a chick at the gym. Today’s Diary.
Back then, we were asking because we wanted to know how much older than me she was…Now, we would be asking to avoid a morals charge…(Altho, honestly, a scandal this close to Election Day couldn’t hurt.)…

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1962 – Air Force pilot Major Rudolf Anderson becomes the only US fatality by enemy fire in the Cuban Missile Crisis when his spy plane is shot down by a Soviet-supplied ground-to-air missile over southeastern Cuba. Anderson had taken off from an Air Force base near Orlando and was flying his seventh mission. He was posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross, the nation’s second-highest award for valor.
In 2002 – The Anaheim Angels win the World Series, defeating the San Francisco Giants 4-1 in Game 7 in Anaheim. It remains the only World Series appearance for the Angels and was the twelfth and most recent World Series loss for the Giants franchise, to go with eight titles. It was the first World Series since divisional play began in 1969 that did not feature a division champion and remains the most recent World Series played without a future member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
In 1979 – Herb Alpert is at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the second and final consecutive week with Rise. The song also peaked at #13 in Great Britain, at #4 on Billboard’s soul chart, and was Billboard’s 80th-biggest song of the year, its 54th-biggest of 1980, and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. It was the second and most recent #1 for Alpert (This Guy’s In Love With You, four weeks, 1968) and Alpert remains the only act to top the Hot 100 with a vocal and an instrumental song.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
If to please the people we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.
