Kagro in the Morning

David Waldman is back with today’s KITM, which you’d expect, but when have you heard Greg Dworkin so many days in a row? Can the internet take so much amusement and erudition?

It’s morning in America. Who would have guessed that patriotism and joy would turn out to be such a popular combination? Ok, Oprah helped, but it couldn’t have happened without All-American Dad, Coach Tim Walz. It’s certainly not weird that Tim would have such an All-American family.

And you know what? I thought Bill was terrific. He’s no rising star hot shot like Hillary, but still…

All of this puts Kamala Harris right about where she wants to be heading into her acceptance speech tonight. At least it puts her where Republicans don’t want her to be, which is good for a start, and a good place to start picking up a few more points real soon.

You won’t find a more lunatic pillow mogul than Mike Lindell, but this week you can refuse to accept cheap imitations! Mike, cleverly disguised as Roger Stone, successfully infiltrated the DNC, only to be spotted by alert pre-teen influencer Knowa De Brasco, who kicked Lindell in the shins for a while before realizing that Mr. Pillow was filled with more crap than foam rubber. Mike tried to insanesplain to the young man with his usual Gish Gallop, but Knowa ran out of pity and walked away.

Meanwhile, uncommitted pro-Palestinian delegates signal that they would fully support the Harris ticket ,but so far have not signaled that they would behave themselves if they were allowed on stage.
