Thursday Night Open Thread

As part of getting old, I have a hard time relating to what else is old. For example, this song. It was a big hit a quarter century ago. That means it’s as old now as Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa” was when I graduated high school. As old as I thought that song was, a high school senior today thinks of this song as just as old. I have a time wrapping my head around that.

Other than the fact that I’m old, what else should we talk about? Got something on your mind? It’s Thursday Night Open Thread.

Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said that having Trump make Democrats look like idiots over the government shutdown is actually giving them “potential for momentum“.

Interesting. Never heard a downward spiral called that before.
