James Varney: Reflecting on Hurricane Katrina twenty years later, and the partisan uses Democrats found for it
There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.

@BretBaier

Cracker Barrel is going back to the old logo. Company statement: "We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our "Old Timer" will remain. At Cracker Barrel, it's always been - and always will be - about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family. As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon."

A Starship test flight is scheduled for 6:30 Central (7:30 Eastern)

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

Over at NRO, Mark Krikorian notes the Washington Post correctly identifies not one but two liberal sources as what they are, i.e., liberal. The Washington Post is making a lot of smart moves lately. The New York Times is eagerly destroying its own (rather exaggerated) legacy. There is an opportunity for a more honest, less ideologically obsessive paper to displace it as the nation's (I hate this phrase) paper of record. Romneymania: Unrelated, but over at the Corner, there seems to be a big Romney-for-President boomlet. Not really sure why. posted by Ace at 12:23 PM Comments Romneymania: Unrelated, but over at the Corner, there seems to be a big Romney-for-President boomlet. Not really sure why. Yeah, K-Lo wants to have his baby. They had a big cover story on him a few weeks ago in the print edition, too. I think it boils down to his being one of the few leading candidates with executive credentials and a social-con background.

Posted by: harrison on July 26, 2005 12:59 PM They need to drop the Romney stuff. It's not gonna happen. A MA Republican doesn't do much for the ticket, and he's Mormon. I don't understand what their big hangup on him is, unless if its some sort of East-coast bias thing or the looks thing. Anyway, not gonna happen. Posted by: brak on July 26, 2005 01:00 PM The New York Times is eagerly destroying its own (rather exaggerated) legacy Ayuh, they sure are. Posted by: Slublog on July 26, 2005 01:08 PM Romney vetoed the morning after pill a day (or two?) ago I think is the reason. Posted by: Elric on July 26, 2005 03:02 PM I've noticed another surprise from the msm here. It's a Newsweek piece that admits that the civilian death numbers are bloated by counting everybody that gets killed, including terrorists in civilian clothing and that US soldiers show a lot of restraint considering the situation they're in. I think getting burned on the Koran=toilet paper story might have woke them up a little bit.
