Seems relevant with the end of Colbert.

Johnny Carson’s final episode on May 22, 1992 can be seen as the symbolic end of a more culturally unified America. Carson was was one of the last figures who brought millions of Americans together every night, regardless of politics, class, or geography. Republicans and Democrats watched the same monologue, laughed at the same jokes, and shared the same cultural experience. Carson’s final show saw an audience of over 30 million. Colbert saw 8 m

There’s also a deeper psychological point: Carson represented a nightly ritual of national togetherness. At 11:30 PM, millions of Americans ended the day together. That kind of synchronized cultural rhythm matters more than people realize.

After his retirement, you saw a lot more fragmentation of media consumption and thus fracturing of American life. Not saying his retirement directly caused it, but it was certainly huge marker in our culture.

All of that came to an end 34 years ago tonight.

Worst poster on this entire website. The guy have 60+ teams with each player making 1 million and could transfer midseason if it were up to him.

There were those thirty minutes between when they announced there would be an unscheduled presidential address and when we finally got news about it that was a little disconcerting.

No kidding. Nobody had a clue. Some wild theories were being tossed around. (Aliens, nukes, meteor, etc.)

Have to give her props.

No props will be given because she was pushed into doing it after being relentlessly cooked for the last three days moreso than she has ever been….and rightfully so.

Credit goes to Marshall, Wes Allen, and talk radio around the state.

She was getting grilled yesterday worst than she ever has and rightfully so. She totally didn’t want to do this.

If you are not good enough , get a job or go to school like everybody else . People would be begging for the old days

That was always my stance. The schools/programs provided tremendous value to these players. People acting like the players weren’t getting anything of value were being dishonest.

Wes Allen has filed a motion with the USSC. Only one running for a statewide office so far that has done something more than giving this lip service. Good for him. Marshall really dropped the ball not acting today.

It definitely started with the recap of yesterday's statement, but it sounded like there is going to be another press release / conference announcement.

He should be all over this. At minimum this gets him in the runoff and if actually gets it over the goal line, he could use it to win the Senate race. Has to be hyper aggressive though.

I see her at a lot of government/corporate events. There are times where she disappears to the bathroom or a private room for extended periods of time and it’s clearly health related. Her staff shields her and then she comes out, does a little Junior Miss wave, reads a piece of paper, then shuffles off without talking to anyone.

She isn’t fit for office and if she isn’t going to lead on this issue and just hide behind a tepid press release without even a public media event over it, then she should retire and let Ainsworth finish her term.

She hasn’t had a PC since Covid. Thats an indictment on the media, the voters, and the scaffolding around her.
