This evening, on The Five, Dana Perino repeated something she read today, "You don’t get to sink the ship and then brag about the number of lifeboats." How wise. How familiar.
I would rather get this newsletter at 3:00 instead of noon. It feels rushed, and at noon the news of the day is only just starting to happen. Anyone else?
I know you do. However, I'm just not ready for it at noon. Listen, I'm giving you some leeway here. You self-imposed the noon publishing deadline. I'm telling you that it could be a little later and I would be okay with that. Actually, the Marvel stuff is what makes it feel half-assed, if I can use that term. I know you need some filler material, but Marvel? Really? Can you perhaps develop another hobby, like cooking, and talk about that instead? I love ya, Jimbo, and I'm trying to make this column even better. Work with me!
"pass along their contact information and the administration will get in touch"
and do what, exactly? Laugh at how stupid they are for being in Afghanistan? Send a Cameo from Gilbert Gottfried to raise their spirits? Promise to notify their next of kin when the inevitable happens?
Thanks for the Darkplace recommendation.
You made Real Clear Politics again.

Mr. Medlock... name sounds familiar. Kinda like "...whose real name is Indiannapolis."
*snicker*
This is good stuff. Sorry I'm late commenting.
I'm the senior Medlock and we both live in Indianapolis now.
Nice to meet you!
Not sure you should vote "McAfee" again. On the other hand, even dead, he is shaping up to be a better President than Joe Biden!
So if dead people can vote for Biden why wouldn't a dead guy make at least as good a president?
Exactly!

"Feels rushed"? I work on this all day.

No, I'm not going to talk about cooking.
Rushed??? I think Jim puts out lots and lots of info by noon! And covers all elements of society!
Jim, you just don't pay her no never mind.

Not a fan of canceling but that WaPo food critic is kind of an asshole.
The "...brag about the number of lifeboats" quote is classic and used, hopefully with proper attribution, by everyone.
A "successful" airlift is like firefighters bragging about how brave they were charging into a burning building that they torched.
As always, terrific job.
