Ray Charles' cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire is an all-timer.

Especially the live version he did on Cash's TV show:

Honorable mention to this cover, which I love:

Oh, and this rockabilly take on T. Rex is amazing:

And I keep realizing there are people who don’t know the Cleverlys, so ...

The promotion of these far-right gun proposals as “constitutional carry” is really bizarre, given how earlier generations of conservatives had a *very* different understanding of the 2nd Amendment.
Here’s Chief Justice Warren Burger, a Nixon appointee, talking about how the NRA had committed the greatest “fraud” by spinning the 2A into much more than it was.

Here's Ronald Reagan in 1991, that same year:

The brilliant @AriBerman made a guest appearance in my seminar on the political history of civil rights, and I'm delighted to report that he *nailed* the dress code.
We look like the waitstaff at a restaurant that uses the phrase "farm-to-table" waaaaaaay too much.
We look like the backup singers to a Conway Twitty performance on "Hee Haw."

“I can see why Quebec wants to be separate from all this.”
Showed this to my (Canadian) wife and she was disgusted.

Update 2:

Other than a sore arm and a slightly pfoggy pfeeling, doing pfine.

Kevin Williamson has responded to the criticism of his "we need *less* democracy" column yesterday, and I'm flattered to have made the #1 spot.

The link just goes to my account generally, which lets his distorted "summary" stand on its own, but ... #1!

He won't provide the actual link for some reason, but I believe this tweet yesterday is what he's referring to.

Now, if you (unlike Williamson) actually read that thread, you'd see it wasn't about one article, but a good number of NR pieces.

Williamson denied that segregationists & the architects of modern conservatism made common cause in the 50s & 60s, so I used NR to show how they did.
