On Legacies, Making America Fun Again & The Joy of Dancing

 

I couldn't get the video to load that first shows Tim Walz carrying on and gesticulating about his inability and unwillingness to forgive "those other guys" for "trying to steal the JOY from this country" before it launches into a "hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right" moment, followed by a collection of clips celebrating the joy of The Dance.

For a sense of inner dance, there's also this by Scott Pinsker on The Sad Demise of Nancy Pelosi:

"She was so close!

Your legacy is a tricky thing. More often than not, timing is everything: Had Bill Cosby died 20 years ago, chances are his legacy would’ve been vastly different. (Of course, the all-time worst historical legacy belongs to Moctezuma II, a.k.a. Montezuma. He probably wanted to be known as a “Great” king, a la that Alexander kid from Macedonia… but instead, his name became synonymous with traveler’s diarrhea. I’m 99.5% positive that’s NOT how he wanted to be remembered.) All Nancy had to do was stick the landing.

But Nancy Pelosi didn’t just whiff the mark — she cost her party control of the House, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court, and even the popular vote!

And now, her legacy is finished."
