Happy birthday! Welcome to the My Birthday KITM Special hosted by David Waldman and Greg Dworkin. David had a birthday yesterday and Greg had one a few years back but has since abstained. What’s important, as always, is what they brought me today:

It’s a close race! But… is it really? There’s a thin line between big wins for Harris and Trump, and since the fabulous Democratic National Convention, pundits are becoming less fearful of crossing the line over to Harris. Kamala’s a boon for Never Trumpers. many of whom will be quite amusing for a few more months before becoming pains in the ass again. We will soon forget, or want to forget, figures such as Gary Cohn calling Donald Trump “shit for brains” … See? You have forgotten Gary Cohn and already confuse him with Mets announcer Gary Cohen, who is totally different... I think.

We might get to forget screwballs like Curtis Yarvin, anti-democratic monarchist, and idol to Sofa King weird JD Vonce.

Hey, but we still have to win the election. Kamala and Tim are up for it, this week mining the purple and blue veins of red Georgia. They will persevere through, and expect us to persevere through, upcoming presidential and vice-presidential debates. They even expect the Republicans to show up! That’s a little much, considering Donald’s more of an evader than a debater. The Gops don’t even know who to send for the VP debate, after all, there’s plenty of fish in the sea. JD, eyeliner smeared, sobs into his couch cushions, or motorboats them, who can tell?  Don’t worry, fact checkers will look into it.
