I was just saying to Melissa the other day that it had been too long since Kevin Downey Jr. graced “Five O’Clock Somewhere” with his special brand of awesome Downeyness.

An Iranian weightlifter has been banned from the sport for life by his home nation. No, Mostafa Rajaei wasn’t caught using performance enhancing drugs.

Dave Landau, ¼ Black Garrett, and Mike Eshaq all have one thing in common: they love to make jokes, especially when those jokes poke fun of the people responsible for the political nightmare plaguing the country.

Pennsylvania is critically important for Democrats. In 2020, the commonwealth helped propel Joe Biden to the White House. And in 2022, now-Sen. John Fetterman (D) won a hotly contested Senate race, giving Democrats control of the Senate. To win in 2024, Democrats will need to win Pennsylvania again. But the state party currently finds itself
