Markets Rally on Sweet Economic Reports

Especially interesting is this:

Although the headline figure showed a dip in factory activity for the month of September, Paulson said the employment portion of the report showed a rise.

The ISM index fell to 58.5 percent in September from 59.0 percent in August, in line with expectations. The employment index however rose to 58.1 from 55.7 in August.

"What the employment uptick really does is tell us that maybe next Friday we're going to a better-than-expected employment report," which suggests the soft patch in the economy may be ending, said Paulson.

Star of Shazam and Chuck (where he co-starred with Adam Baldwin, btw) Zachary Levi endorses Trump, says "We're going to take this country back"
Levi opened the event by explaining that he initially was backing RFK Jr. in the 2024 presidential election, and when Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi knew to whom he was sending his support.

I've had a feeling about this guy. A while ago he condemned the "attacks" on Brie Larson and the Captain Marvel movie, but I got the sense he felt he had to do that, because he's in a compromised position: a non-leftist in Hollywood. Glad to have him. I mean he's not Gary Oldman or Nicholas Cage or Star of Stage and Screen Nick Seacy, but he'll do.
Nine Inch Nails started off as a yacht rock band, you know
Sounds more like Kool & the Gang to me. They later changed their sound and recorded it for The MTV
Thanks to @alexthechick
Wait did Whitesnake start as a yacht rock band too?
Again, I think this is much closer to early eighties R&B than yacht rock.

Yacht or Nyacht?
With a combined score of 49.5 on Yacht or Nyacht, I'd say this one is a "Nyacht." No Hoe Snow snap. Not bouncy. Pretty dreary. No smooth groove. You won't be able to snort cocaine out of the cleavage of a "Naval Mabel" or "Poopdeck Patty." Or even if you do, it will be half-hearted at best.
From Instapundit, a Free Beacon Fact Check:
Joe Biden, nominal president of the United States, sat down with the ladies of The View for an interview on Wednesday. "It's like having one of the Beatles at the table," co-host Sarah Haines said as the audience roared and her colleagues cackled.
Haines wasn't entirely wrong, according to a Washington Free Beacon fact check. Biden doesn't have much in common with the Beatles, but they're both half-dead, half-octogenarian relics who haven't accomplished anything of substance since the 1970s. We rate Haines's claim "mostly true."

I guess that's true if you're talking about the Beatles. But individual members of the Beatles did some decent stuff in the 80s.

To state the supremely obvious, eliminating the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade also enables a future Congress to ban all abortion nationwide.

What an absolutely terrible, shortsighted idea.

Oh but it's all right

This is a fantastic (casual) driving song, when you're actually driving a little below the speed limit because you don't really have anywhere to be.
Going forward, if we have any arguments about what is or what is not Yacht Rock, we can just consult the Yacht or Nyacht? website, which has ranked hundreds of songs according to their Yacht Quotient (YQ). I can see this website stopping arguments, fistfights, and formal duels.
In solidarity with the MSM, Rich Lowry and National Review vilified the Covington Kids as racist agitators back in 2019. Now, it’s Rich Lowry being canceled for an accidental slip of the tongue that sounded like a forbidden word. There’s a lesson here for the Polite Right, but they won’t learn it. [Buck]

I'm not sure this is even Yacht Rock. This might just be very soft rock. I can't see myself sniffing cocaine from a Boat Hoe's cleavage to this song, which is the primary criterion of Yacht Rock.
But I think this song more crosses from the shallows of soft rock to the cresting majesty of Yacht Rock. This is definitely bouncy enough for Hoe Snow. Very smooth, a little folky, a little jazzy. It's got that Hoe Snow snap.
From Andycanuck: Hezballah members reporting for work today, a little bit skittish about entering the code on an electronic keypad lock
I don't know if this is real. It's certainly accurate -- no one in Hezballah is happy to be handling any kind of electronic device today.
