This is amusing. I suspect that purchasers of “essential oils” are more likely to be receptive to phrases like “Hope and change.”

Conservatism
It’s time to get our fiscal house in order.
And no, reforming conservatism should not include embracing the New Deal.
On that last link, I hadn’t been aware that Conrad Black is an admirer of FDR. That’s disappointing.
Believe All Women
Does Joe Biden believe Tara Reade?
[Update late afternoon]
How brave of the #MeToo Legal Fund.
Yeah, let’s take these people seriously.
[Update Saturday morning]
Will Biden live up to his own principles?
That’s a big ask; I don’t think he has any.
[Bumped]

Not surprising; they don’t have any principles, either, other than a will to power.
Saving America
Pornhub Premium is going temporarily free to encourage you to stay home.

I’ve never frequented them much; I think the price for a drink at one is ridiculous, but they’re an important element of culture.
Say Uncle
My deepest condolences to the long-time gun blogger on the sudden loss of his beloved wife.
A Cuomo Nomination?
I agree; it’s looking more likely by the day.
[Update a few minutes later]

[Update a while later]
Trump’s strategic foresight is being put to the test.
Hoarding
Why toilet paper?
I was in Ralph’s yesterday, and the shelves of paper products in general were still empty. They can’t keep it stocked. It was also the first thing that I noticed had disappeared at Costco a couple weeks ago.
I also noticed that I picked a bad time to pay for unlimited car washes at the place across the street; it’s closed.
Woke Speech Trumps Free Speech
So says a terrible court ruling.
