Too much walkin', shoes worn thin
Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride, it leaves today, her name is what it means
Too much walkin', shoes worn thin
Damn I used to love this one. It's definitely a driving-around, looking-for-trouble kind of song.

Both Michigan's Appeals Court and North Carolina's Supreme Court have reversed lower (Hawaiian judge) rulings keeping RFKJr.'s name on the ballot. Democrats want to keep his name on the ballot because they don't want RFKJr.'s voters voting for the man RFKJr. endorsed, Trump. Republicans want him off (as RFKJr. himself demanded) so that they will.

Remember, it was RFKJr. himself who filed to remove his name from the ballot. Democrat judges said "no, you have to stay on the ballot, to help Kamala." I mean, they didn't say that last part out loud -- but that's the reason. Nice election news for Team Trump:

@SteveLovesAmmo

BREAKING: Michigan Appeals Court just ordered that RFK Jr.'s name will be taken off the ballot!

BREAKING: North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name to be taken off the general election ballot in the state.

Interesting etymology: "sullen" originally meant "solitary," but by the 14th century had picked up the meaning of "morose" or "gloomy," and now only means that. Hey, not all solitary people are gloomy!
I looked it up because Tolkein used the word in describing "sullen hills," meaning gloomy. It struck me as a cool word to apply to hills (rather than a person or a face).

This YouTuber took a photo of himself every day for 22 years, from age 25 to 47. [CBD]

Clarification: Stepanopolous won't be the moderator. It will be ABC's "News's" 7pm anchor, David Muir, and "some Disney bint," as a commenter says, an ABC "Prime" "journalist" named Linsey Davis. Obviously she is a Stronk Woman of Color because of course.
Here's ABC "News" "journalist" and debate "moderator" Linsey Davis sitting down with Kamala Harris to give her a puffball Speaking Opportunity to talk up the importance of abortion
By the way, Linsey Davis is a "proud member" of the mostly-black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha. If that sounds familiar to you, it's because Kamala Harris promotes the sorority, and it is devoted to promoting her.

"Ben Had" has been in contact with commenter "JT," and he is on the road to recovery and appreciates all of the prayers!

Popular gun Youtuber Paul Harrell has died. Love him or hate him, he created a lot of interesting content. [dri]

UC Berkeley slapped with federal civil rights complaint, accused of 'unlawful' racial discrimination "Haas clearly tells students the program is intended for 'Latinx/Hispanic' students, setting up a barrier that would deter other students from applying." [CBD]

Chalk up another victory for the IDF. [Mis. Hum.]

Forgotten 70s Yacht Rock Mystery Click
Another easy one -- I don't want anyone working too hard on Labor Day weekend.
Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right

Let's make this super-easy, barely an inconvenience for Labor Day. You don't have to name the band, just the song:
Well, make a wish, baby
And I will make it come true
Make a list baby, of the things I'll do for you

I was talking about Vince Vaughan movies with Pug Mahon and other commenters. Even when his movies are mid, or romantic comedy dreck, he always has a least one scene that's a scream. In The Break-Up, he revisits his hilarious video-game trash-talking from Swingers, this time humiliating a child he's playing online and then Jennifer Anniston's date.
His funniest stuff is what can be called "aggressive, bullying Alpha Chad whining and complaining." Or just straight-up rage freak-outs.
And of course his Swingers trash-talk is a classic in the field

Murder, manslaughter, adultery, addiction, sexual assault and rape aren't enough to get you disowned by the low-rent white trash Hillbillies of Hyanisport, but endorsing Trump is

BurtTC writes:

I listened to Dave Smith's podcast with Nicole Shanahan. At some point you have to ask, people who genuinely consider themselves to be good, and still vote Democrat... how do you not know you are supporting the most evil people to ever exert power in this country? Whatever your grievances against Republicans and Don Trump (many of which are perfectly valid), how do you not see this for what it is?

Nicole is a very reasonable person, and while she lacks the name recognition of RFK, in many ways she even a better spokeperson for this very point.

That podcast is here. It's an hour long. I'll ask Burt about where she talks about this.

I totally forgot this one until five minutes ago. I had no memory of it at all.
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what I am
You'll have to take me just the way that you find me
What's gone is gone and I do not give a damn

Former Clinton adviser Mark Penn: Kamala ducking the media and refusing to debate is "unacceptable" in a democracy
It's only a fake democracy now-- the Regime is barely pretending it's anything else than an oligarchy.

Jim Acosta flacks for Biden-Harris: Trump was "politicizing" the deaths of the thirteen service members so aren't Biden and Harris the Real Heroes Here for blowing it off?
Harris won't even sit down with this obvious DNC plant. If Kamala's too scared to sit down with Jim Acosta, how can she be expected to stand up to Vladimir Putin?
