95 Percent of Representatives Have a Degree. Look Where That’s Got Us.
Over the last few decades, Congress has diversified in important ways. It has gotten less white, less male, less straight — all positive developments. But as I was staring at one of the many recent Senate hearings, filled with the usual magisterial blustering and self-important yada yada, it dawned on me that there’s a way that Congress has moved in a wrong direction, and become quite brazenly unrepresentative. No, it’s not that the place seethes with millionaires, though there’s that problem too. It’s that members of Congress are credentialed out the wazoo. An astonishing number have a small kite of extra initials fluttering after their names. According to the Congressional Research Service , more than one third of the House and more than half the Senate have law degrees. Roughly a fifth of senators and representatives have their master’s. Four senators and 21 House members have M.D.s, and an identical number in each body (four, 21) have some kind of doctoral degree, whether … [Read more...] about 95 Percent of Representatives Have a Degree.

Bad Bunny Overthrows the Grammys
T he musical artist Bad Bunny —Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—is known on social media as “San Benito”: Saint Benito, perhaps a wink to his anything-but-chaste lyrics. But the nickname has taken on a somewhat literal meaning. Bad Bunny is—particularly after his bomba- and merengue-infused, fully Spanish-language opening-act performance at last night’s Grammys—the official patron saint of Latinidad . He’s nothing like what white America, or even the Latino community, expected. But he is the saint we needed. For the uninitiated, the Recording Academy produces two shows that are separate but, frankly, unequal: the Latin Grammys, which recognize the best Spanish-language music in the world, and the “gringo Grammys,” which recognize everything else. The latter, despite its American and white bias—even in categories rooted in Black history and heritage, such as hip-hop—has traditionally set the bar for who has, and hasn’t, been accepted into the American mainstream as pop-culture … [Read more...] about Bad Bunny Overthrows the Grammys
Angry Fans Tweet ‘Grammys Fail BTS’ as Group Gets Snubbed for 3rd Consecutive Year
Global K-pop sensation BTS was nominated for the Grammys for the third consecutive year. But Grammys 2023 had no gramophones to give to the world famous South Korean group. The group, which didn’t attend the awards this year after making appearances at the last 3 Grammy ceremonies, had 3 nominations. They had earned nods in the Album of the Year category (as part of Coldplay’s credited contributors for their nominated album Music of the Spheres), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (“My Universe” by them and Coldplay), and Best Music Video (“Yet to Come”). However, Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ Unholy won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award. The Best Music Video award went to Taylor Swift’s All Too Well, and Album of the Year went to Harry Styles’ Harry’s House. BTS was nominated for two consecutive years in the category of Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Dynamite and Butter, but they didn’t win those, causing many fans to react strongly. They BTS ARMY is not happy about the … [Read more...] about Angry Fans Tweet ‘Grammys Fail BTS’ as Group Gets Snubbed for 3rd Consecutive Year

Men’s basketball: After short respite, Buffs look to pack offense on tough road swing
The Colorado men’s basketball team is 1-7 in true road games. That’s not good. But CU head coach Tad Boyle believes his team isn’t as bad on the road as the record indicates. The Buffaloes will have a chance to prove that this week. After turning in a pair of solid all-around performances during a home sweep of the Bay Area schools, the Buffs are expected to take Monday and Tuesday off before beginning preparations for Saturday’s Pac-12 Conference battle at Utah (8 p.m. MT, FS1). Whatever hope the Buffs (14-11, 6-8 Pac-12) still harbor for playing their way into postseason contention will require elusive results on the road, beginning this week in Salt Lake City and continuing next week with a two-game trip through Arizona. “To me, we’ve got one in a row. We’ve got Utah. That’s how I look at it,” Boyle said. “We’ve played decent on the road. It’s not like we’re getting blown out. But we’re not playing well enough to win. You’re never as good as you think you are when … [Read more...] about Men’s basketball: After short respite, Buffs look to pack offense on tough road swing

‘The Tory end times should be more fun than this’
Very few people who have wondered what the end times would look like would have guessed that certain doom would be presided over by a zombie, a Thunderbird puppet, and a relentlessly-happy Scrooge and Marley. And yet - welcome to the last year of Tory rule, starring an undead Liz Truss, a barely-human Matt Hancock, and topped off with a Chancellor and Prime Minister whose eternal souls will still be giggling joyfully as the worst demons Satan can find eat them from the toes up. There are a little over 300 days before Rishi Sunak has to call an election which he is as likely to win as he is to eat anything from Greggs, yet no-one seems very happy about it. Is it all Keir Starmer's fault? "Yes. Yes it is." ( Image: JESSICA TAYLOR/UK PARLIAMENT/UNPIXS) Recent polls show that even Tory voters want rid of the Tories. All the other voters certainly do. The extreme likelihood of the entire Tory party being reduced to two backbenchers in Lincolnshire should, therefore, … [Read more...] about ‘The Tory end times should be more fun than this’
