Pivot And Punch

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (MSNBC) to Democrats on their rough night Tuesday:

“Do not spend days or minutes even trying to blame someone for what happened. It’s time to pivot and punch. … We have an opportunity to turn this around for the Fall, but not if we spend the next three weeks or a month trying to figure out who to blame.”

Bring Back The Fairness Doctrine

Under the Reagan Administration the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) abolished the Fairness Doctrine. Media stations no longer had to show both sides of a topic. Rush Limbaugh launched his national radio show on WABC in NYC as soon as Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine. It was Rush’s idea.

Sure would be fun to watch Tucker Carlson et al wrestle with bringing it back.

Día de los Muertos

This Lincoln Center concert by the Villalobos Brothers will expand your preconceptions of “Mexican” music, mariachi it ain’t, even though they incorporate elements of it in their music.

So on this Halloween, on the eve of Día de los Muertos

Enjoy, Jack

PS, in the spirit of Día de los Muertos, the joyful remembrance of our dead. Mrs Jack , a collector of Masks, many from Mexico, would have loved the masks they are wearing as they open the concert.
