Song of the Day for Howard Kranz

Jonny Quest, "Race" Bannon, and Hadji flying jet backpacks.

Tenth in a series of songs for Howard and me to cover, or be inspired by, or something.

"Johnny Quest Theme" composed by Hoyt Stoddard Curtin

Deliciously Sordid Emoluments

I try to not spread the meme that is Trump, but the word "Emoluments" is too deliciously sordid:

"A U.S. appeals court on Thursday rejected impeached president Donald Trump’s attempts to kill a lawsuit that claims his ownership of a hotel in Washington violates the anti-corruption part of the U.S. Constitution known as the “Emoluments Clauses.”"
