I find it amusing (and a bit strange) that both the Los Angeles Times
and the Washington Post have refused to endorse Kamala Harris. Two of
the most Woke newspapers in the country. I don't think Lawrence is going
to have to worry about the popular vote and Electoral College splitting
in this election, unless there is a WHOLE lot of cheating going on.

I read that about the Post this morning and was surprised. The editor was
getting ready to endorse her when the word came down from Bezos. Given the
papers leftward drift since he bought it he can't be worried about losing
subscribers and I doubt that many people make the connection from the Post
to Bezos to Amazon that it would trigger an Amazon boycott.

Soon-Shiong was the one who shot down the LA Times endorsement and that's
less surprising even though he was a Clinton donor. He's a pharma guy and
Harris may make him nervous.

He cried himself to sleep when Mark Hamil unsubscribed.
