Good morning, people of Stroock's Books.
This morning the air is crisp, cold, downright wintery.
We got to the gym yesterday for a weightlifting session. Knee was sore after, but not too bad.
In Wisconsin last night the GOP lost the supreme court race but handily won the voter ID amendment. Don't ask us to explain Wisconsin voter behavior. In Florida The GOP easily won two house races. Overall last night doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know, Dems are motivated. Everybody won their home games.
Related and we had no idea. JNS reports, 'Florida state senator Randy Fine, a Jewish Republican, won the special election for Florida’s 6th Congressional District on Tuesday in a race widely seen as a bellwether for the national popularity of Republicans.' We're everywhere. Oh, and he beat a Muslim convert! The imams are right. the Jew is clever.
New Jersey's own Senator Corey Booker conducted a 24 hour filibuster yesterday, breaking a record held by Democrat segregationists. Congratulations. Booker's always been a manchild. Yes we've voted for Booker at least once (don't remember if we voted for Booker the second time). What of it?
The great Val Kilmer has passed. We first saw him play 1950s rockstar heart throb Nick Rivers in the Zucker Brother's comedy Top Secret. After that he played zany college student Chris Knight in Real Genius. Next Kilmer showed great range as Iceman in Top Gun. After watching Tombstone, we knew right away we'd seen one of the great performances of the decade.* We've never seen The Doors or Batman Returns. We'll remember Kilmer as that whacky 80s Gen-X icon.
DOGE report: yesterday we edited two Thatcher's War scenes and wrote another. We thought we'd have Ingham burning down bars in Boston, but he's starting out in New York. Hello NORAID. [Knobhead. You're going to piss off people with explosives-Ed].
We did another story in War Night. We'll have the proofer's copy today.
*Kilmer's most quotable role, no? We'll start: 'Why, Johnny, I'm sorry, I'd forgotten you were there. You may go now.'...'Wyatt I am rolling.'...'I got two guns. One for each of you.'...'I'm your huckleberry.'...'Say when.'...'Wyatt Earp is my friend...[I got lots of friends]...I don't.' Okay, pretty much everything he says in the whole damn movie.
