In a famous "Mad Men" episode (below) Don Draper invents "It's Toasted" as a slogan for Lucky's. Sadly, Don was an inept plagiarist since Lucky's was already using the slogan in the 1930s: https://t.co/kloLRXfvF1 — PolitiTweet.org

As a side note, I also love old newspaper ads (this is from the Times in 1931) https://t.co/554uOJBrlQ

I put Biden's poll numbers in perspective: "Aside from the heady first months of Barack Obama’s time in office, no president has been over 60 percent in the Gallup Poll since early 2004 when the Iraq War turned into 'Mission Not Accomplished' for Bush." https://t.co/T4Imp6pURK — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In @newrepublic I break down how much of Biden's political predicament is his fault and how much is the difficult tenor of the times. You may argue with my assessments, but I hope you'll find them provocative. And, yes, he's infinitely superior to Trump. https://t.co/T4Imp6pURK — PolitiTweet.org

Stirring ending to this @JillDLawrence column: "I'm not a liberal who hates America. I'm a hopeful liberal who knows my country can be much better and keeps expecting that one day it will be." https://t.co/OTL56Pj6iE — PolitiTweet.org

I love the new type of legal thinking from right-wingers: Verdicts don't matter. From the WSJ's edit page: "The verdict is less important than what we learned about the false Clinton claims about the ties between the Trump campaign and Russia’s Alfa Bank." https://t.co/cJCZLEjt4f — PolitiTweet.org

It troubles me the long-term damage that active-shooter drills will do to the psyches of school children. I know how deeply the 1950s duck-and-cover nuclear war drills are still embedded in my brain. — PolitiTweet.org

@EasterbrookG Thank you for highlighting this poem. I'm glad I read it. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattDodge4 @newrepublic Don’t know the answer. I would hope so. But legal experts are worried about next month’s gun decision. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattDodge4 @newrepublic Not a legal expert. But the current Supreme Court seems likely to drastically rewrite Heller. — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic: "It is time for gun control advocates to start talking about life without a Second Amendment...The idea is to paint a portrait of an America of the future with sane gun laws and no need for active-shooter drills in elementary schools." https://t.co/6PSgdBJT6D — PolitiTweet.org

The oldest Internet scam now has a Ukrainian version. This is from an email I received today: "Before the heavy bombardment of the AZOVSTAL IRON & STEEL WORKS, my late father sent out a digital safe box containing our life savings, money the sum of €17,900,000,000 Euro ..." — PolitiTweet.org

I thought that the JFK/LBJ dynamic was about as dysfunctional as a president and a veep could be. But Kennedy never suggested that "maybe Lyndon should hang." Trump, once again, wins the gold. https://t.co/kabGeYTll4 — PolitiTweet.org

My verdict in @newrepublic on Trump's current appeal: "Sometimes the circus moves on and the chief clown is left behind where the big top used to stand." https://t.co/mNQvDmTpZz — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I wrote this in @newrepublic overnight before the Trump GA wipeout: "Although it is too soon to know for sure and hope can cloud judgment, a case can be made that Trump (yes, the All-Powerful Donald J. Trump) is losing cachet among GOP primary voters." https://t.co/mNQvDmTpZz — PolitiTweet.org

@ElmoreLessmoore Culture. Fear of being blackballed by pro-gun zealots. Party line voting. Obsessive fear of big government. Right-wing media culture. Exaggerated fears of crime. And I could go on beyond 280 characters. — PolitiTweet.org
