Milwaukee Madness and Various

No, we still didn't watch, but this thing sounds like a disaster. Harris did not impress we are told. My friend William Katz has the roundup. Hillary! Hillaried. Obama looked drained and tired. Of course the Dem's are constrained by all the video conferencing and the GOP may have the same problem. We shall see. But the Dem's biggest problem is that their convention is a giant hate-bitchfest. They look like angry, screaming damaged people. Never look like angry, screaming damaged people. You gotta bring more than that to a convention. What the hell do these people stand for? We don't know.

Explaining this thing to the Soviet...er...Russian GRU is going to be interesting.

In our own NJ07 Congressional District, State Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean is taking on incumbent Tom Malinowski. This should be an easy pickup. The Kean name still means something in New Jersey and NJ07 is pink. We've seen a few Kean digital ads and so far, we're not impressed. Lots of soft-focus, working with the other side schpeel and what not. Give it time.

We think we can see the end of The Great Nuclear War of 1975.  We're working on a chapter were Rockefeller is visiting various infrastructure sights, canals, bridges, etc. Engineers are dredging the Rappahannock River in VA and turning Fredericksburg into the next great East Coast port. From there they can truck stuff up and down I-95 and into the interior on I-64. The main issue at this point in 1976 is building the storage and refinery capability to bring oil in from Alaska and the Middle East. They do that, they oughta be able to make it through the winter. Of course there's diminished harvest issues. But again, there's a hell of a lot less people to feed and livestock ought to recover somewhat. We just might have a rough by 21 September.

The more we think about it, the more we like the idea of an opening Caribbean/Central America themed chapter based on the Managua campaign. Maybe.

Also with each day, nay, hour, Palmerston's War makes sense as the project for 2021. Even though we think advertising doesn't work anymore, advertising Palmerston's War in Civil War and British history magazines oughta work. New readers, right? We'll also see.
