As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Democrats’ agenda is better than their strategy

Michael Gerson characterizes the strategy as “Devalue your own accomplishments”, “Muddy your message”, and “Take the slimmest possible win as a massive political mandate”.

 

“The alternative is to take a few large wins — say, on the infrastructure package and the child tax credit — and actually explain them to the public. In this case, the overarching message would not be overweening ambition, but rather a focus on tangible things such as roads, bridges and children.”
