Today you will see conclusive evidence that right-wing crazy white nationalist groups like the Nothing to Be Proud of Boys and the Oaf Keepers engaged in a coordinated armed and violent insurrection whose goal was to overthrow the government of the United States. You will also see conclusive evidence that the former president and his henchmen were in the cockpit.

You will see it, that is, if you have the guts and the integrity to see it. That disqualifies about 38 percent of you.

Bannon? Tough guy? Pfff. Little Flower. His knees are knocking and his pants are soiled. Yeah, I’m enjoying that. Classic bully.

So Trump withdraws a claim of executive privilege that he never claimed and that was and is invalid in the first place. So Bannon says he’ll testify, but only on live television. The idea, of course, was to create an “open mic night” in which Bannon would be free to lie and spew Trump’s garbage.

But the Select Committee and the courts say, “That’s ok, Stevie. We’re good.”

“All hell is gonna break loose today,” Stevie Blunder. Don’t think of it as a jail cell, Snookums. Think of it as a refuge for reflection.

I’m fascinated by the first deep space pics from the Webb. The last time somebody was this excited about Webb it was Brent Musburger, and he was talking about Katherine.

Try the veal.

Paul's Bio

I clearly have the attention span of your median fruit fly.Look! Airplane!

Sorry. I’m back.

It’s both a curse and a blessing. I’ve never bought this stuff about, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” But I do think that a wide range of life experiences helps us grow as people, and helps us better relate to other people. I’ve been fortunate. And I am beyond grateful.

I show up on time. I go like hell. I’m a good listener. I hold myself accountable. I own my mistakes. And I have a natural and an insatiable curiosity. I’m never afraid to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t. But then I try to find out.

The flip side is I’m a lousy ballroom dancer and my clothes sometimes fit me funny.

Stuff matters to me. I care. But while I take that stuff seriously, I try hard to never take myself seriously. As a result, I have sometimes been told, “Paul, it’s hard to tell when you’re serious and when you’re just having some fun. Which is it? Serious or fun?”

My answer is “yes.” But I think that is a legitimate criticism. I promise I’m going to work on that.

This has been the quickest and strangest half-century I’ve ever experienced. During that period, I’ve been afforded amazing opportunities in news and sports journalism across all platforms. I have taught wonderful students at the high school and collegiate level. Always, I learned more from them than they did from me. I’ve been a high school administrator. I spent ten seasons as a high school varsity football coach. I’ve been an advertising executive. I’ve hosted nationally syndicated television entertainment shows. In maybe the biggest honor I ever received, I was selected by NASA to be “Chet The Astronaut” for the “Land The Shuttle” simulator at Space Center Houston. (All I can say there, is “Do as I say, not as I do.” I put that thing in the Everglades more often than not.) Most recently, I just wrapped up a decade as a television news director, during which time our teams distinguished themselves in holding the powerful accountable, achieving both critical and ratings success.

What does all that mean? It means I am profoundly grateful. It also means I’m ready for “next.” So here we are. Radically Rational. It’s an idea I woke up with in 2017. I scribbled “Radically Rational” on a piece of notebook paper and used a magnet to stick it on our refrigerator. I saw it every day, and it just would not leave me alone.

I am second in charge at Radically Rational, LLC. My wife, Jo (also known as BB), is the president. Clearly, I have failed in my attempt to sleep my way to the top of this organization.

I hope you will learn that I’m loyal as a Labrador. But I will admit that this doggie can bite every now and then. My promise to you? I will show up on time. I will go like hell. I will listen to you earnestly and attentively. I will hold myself accountable. I will never be the least bit hesitant to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t.

But then I’ll try to find out. Let’s do it.
