Friday’s video: Some thoughts about the upcoming debate
The times they are a-changin’
The times they are a-changin’: Who knew that we’d be singing Dylan’s tune about the times changing and young people dissatisfied with the left. Yes, the times are changing and it’s not what the Democrats were planning.
This is from Jeremy Etelson:

June 21, 1940: Future President Nixon married Patricia Ryan
On this day in 1940, future President Richard Nixon married future First Lady Patricia Ryan.
Nixon entered politics in 1946 and won a congressional seat. He quickly jumped to the US Senate in 1950.
In 1952, General Eisenhower selected Senator Nixon to be his running mate. As you probably know, the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket won big in 1952 and 1956.
VP Nixon lost in 1960. He came back to win in 1968 and was reelected in 1972. (He carried 49 states and 61% of the popular vote.)
Pat was with him all the way, from election night victory speeches to resignation in 1974.
Mrs. Nixon died in 1993 and President Nixon in 1994.
"RN" is a wonderful presidential memoir.

Happy # 80 to Ray Davies (The Kinks)
We salute one of the real characters of pop music, the one and only Ray Davies of The Kinks. Davies was born in London on this day in 1944.
As I recall, The Kinks released a greatest hits LP back in 1960s. It is a must for anyone who loves the sounds of that era.
They were a great band.
