Highway to hell

When Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate back a couple of months ago, it was historic.

Every day, some new poll is published showing Democratic challenger Joe Biden with a big lead over President Donald Trump.

Ever since FCC chief Newton Minow famously branded it a “vast wasteland” six decades ago, television has tried to polish its image.

Well, it would seem that hurricanes are good for the economy. We have an influx of people from near and far, some refugees, some utility workers from other states and regions, some construction workers seeking high-paying jobs, some laborers just looking for work and some volunteers who are looking to pay it forward. Collectively, they are renting or buying a place to live, temporarily or semipermanently; they are eating in restaurants when available, they are buying gas, oil, tires, clothes, groceries, ice, drinks and whatever necessities or staples available.

Only Boss Trump could turn even the COVID-19 plague into a farce. His triumphal return to the White House from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — nicely timed for the evening TV news cycle — was like a stunt his pal Kim Jong Un would pull in Pyongyang: pure strongman street theater.
