Re: Commencement Speakers
Was it him or Zach Morris who went right-wingy? Worst I can find for JVDB is one "Biden is too old" rant that Fox News picked up on. I think the alma mater would have avoided him if he'd gone anywhere approaching full-MAGA. What probably made me think this is when anyone moves from Califo...

Re: Random Politics
Graham’s pushing for a national abortion ban. Trump is positioning himself as in favor of the states doing it (which is just pre-election politics). Trump doesn’t like his butt-kissers not 100% endorsing whatever he says.

You probably already assumed this, but I just read Rex Chapman’s new memoir and it sounds like Kentucky is an incredible pressure cooker for the coaches and players.

Re: Tax Q's Thread
TurboTax has a free version. My daughter filed her taxes just now. And it was free. I was a bit surprised because she did earn reasonably good money (but was between jobs for awhile, so maybe that’s why it was free.)
