    The WaPo erstwhile "conservative," Jennifer Rubin.

    What makes you put “conservative” in quotes when using that term to describe Jennifer Rubin? Is saying nice things about Biden per se disqualifies one from being a conservative, or is it something else that makes you doubt Ms. Rubin’s conservative bona fide?

    a nudge for Republicans to end their obstruction

    wide range of investments (aka taxes)

    This was a bold populist proposal. (Seems like it was only about 5 months ago that populism was bad)

    He ticked off a whole list of other priorities, including gun safety, voting rights and immigration.

    He is comfortable in his new job — and determined to do big things.

    And she criticized none of his proposals. So, yeah.

    And back atcha, what makes YOU think that she's still is a conservative?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          If this republic survives, sometime in the future, people are going to dissect the media coverage of today and cringe.

                  I thought it was a Town and Country cover.

                    Can the Biden Inauguration Win an Emmy?

                    Take some anti-emetic and click on the link.

                    Yet the production—from daily celebrity “hosts” including Julia Louis-Dreyfus to the brilliantly reimagined delegate roll call—emerged as a rousing success. Then, Cutter put her producer hat back on after Joe Biden won the election, to helm the prime-time inauguration special, Celebrating America—another star-studded, well-received show.

                    This was also at the height of the COVID-19 winter surge. “The things that we carried through from the convention [are] that, you don’t have people cheering for you—there is no audience, there’s nobody applauding, so how do you translate that into a virtual program?” Cutter says. “It’s really driven by emotion.” The special had Tom Hanks—“a father figure to the American people,” as Cutter calls him—hosting from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, interwoven with stories of everyday Americans doing extraordinary things with big musical performances. And this was all live.

                    “We could have taken the easy way out—we could have had everybody out of the city, nothing live from the Lincoln, [kept] Bruce Springsteen and John Legend…at home,” Elrod adds. “That would have frankly made our lives a lot easier, because the logistical aspects of getting them here, making sure that they were secure, moving them around a city that was essentially locked down, was challenging. But I’m glad we put the time in to make it happen. I’m glad that we didn’t go back.”

                    Enjoy!

                      Stylin' in Tokyo!

                      The game of first lady fashion is one played 12 months a year, at pretty much any time, watched by a global mass of avid spectators who care for reasons national, personal and political. Participants are drafted as soon as they get their jobs, whether they like it or not.

                      Jill Biden has famously been a reluctant player (“It’s kind of surprising, I think, how much commentary is made about what I wear,” she told Vogue).

                      Not for her the strategy of fashion diplomacy, mastered by Michelle Obama, wherein you champion a designer who bridges both your home country and a host country. Not for her the high fashion tactics of Melania Trump, conflating runway with realpolitik.

                      (What does that last sentence even mean?)

                      Apparently (quelle horreur!) she's worn some dresses more than once!

                      The recycled wardrobe may not seem like a big deal, but it has been practically unheard-of since the turn of the 21st century when it comes to image-making, celebrities and their powerful political or entrepreneurial equivalents.

                      To the NY Times' credit, they didn't call her "Dr. Biden" until the 5th paragraph (and 7 more times later in the article).

                        I think "Doctor Jill" is so much friendlier.
