James Talarico’s Final Sprint

New Yorker: “Talarico has an uncanny ability to say the same things over and over again. His memorized speeches sound as if he is reading from a teleprompter, without false starts or stutters—he repeats himself only when trying to speak over the crowd’s applause.”

“Now, in the final stretch, his closing message attempts to cover everything, from the etymology of the word ‘Texas’ to the mythos of Beyoncé and Selena.”
