Your Bag of Nothing for Tuesday, October 22, 2024

  • I’m really proud that the city leaders of Mineral Wells put that sign up. It’s an homage to the past. You can read a brief history of Mineral Wells and Crazy Water here.
  • After the Musers are off the air, I listen to a Florida radio show until Why Today Doesn’t Suck. Here’s something I never thought someone would have to do. They talked about how many people in their neighborhood decorated their houses for Halloween before the hurricane, only for them to take down the decorations before the storm was forecasted to hit and put them back up again when it passed.
  • I like how the tour has been revamped to make it more interactive and take advantage of technology.
  • Strange timing – Virginia Head Basketball Coach Tony Bennett Announced He’s Retiring. 20 Days Before The Season Starts
  • Politico – The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses and Takes Power Anyway –
    If Trump overturns the 2024 election, here’s how it could happen.

    The answer, according to lawmakers, congressional investigators, party operatives, election officials and constitutional law experts, goes something like this:

    — He will deepen distrust in the election results by making unsupported or hyperbolic claims of widespread voter fraud and mounting longshot lawsuits challenging enough ballots to flip the outcome in key states.

    — He will lean on friendly county and state officials to resist certifying election results — a futile errand that would nevertheless fuel a campaign to put pressure on elected Republican legislators in statehouses and Congress.

    — He will call on allies in GOP-controlled swing-state legislatures to appoint “alternate” presidential electors.

    — He will rely on congressional Republicans to endorse these alternate electors — or at least reject Democratic electors — when they convene to certify the outcome.

    — He will try to ensure Harris is denied 270 votes in the Electoral College, sending the election to the House, where Republicans are likely to have the numbers to choose Trump as the next president.

  • If you are a fan of The West Wing, you’ll appreciate how Martin Sheen morphs into President Bartlett and recites from memory at a Harris campaign event. You’ll also see his two former co-stars sense the moment of greatness and pull out their phones to record it.
  • The only thing wrong with this is the University of Houston’s classification. Otherwise, it’s spot-on and inarguable.
  • This clip would be better if the kid’s helmet had a ram horns decal like the LA Rams (and the Mineral Wells Rams did once upon a time.).

  • Here’s a 9/11 clip I’ve never seen before. The shop owner saves the woman’s life, and once she realizes it, she thanks him profusely.

  • I hope this makes you smile; it did me.
