"Call now with your zip code during this Medicare Advantage Plan enrollment —— "
Damn, I just accidentally threw a size 9-and-a-half penny loafer through my TV screen.

There are few things so good or so All-American that some clown with grievance issues can't find something stupid to bitch about.
Pick a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon at random. Any one. The balloon will be smarter than Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Green Acres, by several IQ points.

I think my marshmallows shifted on me. Marshmallows do that if you don’t keep them in line.

Ten years ago I was designing page 1 when the announcement came that the Supreme Court ruled the right to marriage was guaranteed to same-sex couples.
I sorted through 200-plus photos before picking this one. Shot by my great friend Jeremy Hogan, the picture captures the sheer joy.
I love my job.

Can't decide.
Which is the more imbecilic commercial: The Medicare Advantage ("We're sorry, Karen") commercial or the Ellen DeGeneres face goo ("Say Delux. Deee-Luuuxx") commercial?

A federal judge dismissed indictments against Letitia James and James Comey. The judge says Lindsey Halligan's appointment was unlawful.
Trump picked Lindsey PERSONALLY. She's clearly hot. She was a Miss Colorado, for heaven's sake. What else does she need?

In the Oval Office, now decorated like a French brothel, two men laughed hysterically.
I watched it on CNN. Nothing they said was funny.

Mohammed bin Salman OK'd the brutal murder of WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump says, "a lot of people didn't like that gentleman (Khashoggi) ... Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen."
Would Trump be as insensitive if the subject was a murdered young podcaster? Probably not.

Call me crazy — you wouldn’t be the first — but I’m not convinced the “Epstein files” will be released in any unfiltered, unexpurgated fashion. In short, I’m betting Trump and his DOJ have tampered with them.

Again, President Trump has told you which journalism outlets to trust. If Trump doesn't like a news organization, you know you can count on that company for accurate, reliable news.

I just heard this "song." I think it's reassuring to know that AI can "write" a song — tune and lyrics — as hackneyed and boring as anything composed by a talentless human being.

ABC's Mary Bruce asked tough, necessary questions at today's news conference with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump called ABC "radical left news" and threatened to have the FCC pull licenses of ABC affiliates. Once again, Trump tells you which journalism outlets you can trust.

The murderous Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — "my good friend," Trump says — is in the White House. Why do I get the feeling the Trump family is about to make a few billion in crypto?

I was a sophomore in HS when Nixon resigned. Watergate was ALREADY a topic in history classes.
Today, Education has been gutted and many state legislatures are whitewashing events and restricting how teachers do their jobs. What will future children learn about this strange era?
We better care.

The administration beat up Harvard and other colleges over antisemitism. But it embraces Jew-hating Nazi sympathizers.
The attacks on universities was never over antisemitism. That was just the ironic cudgel Trump used to attack education.

This little one-lane road is beautiful in the fall. It’s also sweet with an inch of snow. And there’s a creek. A perfect place to grow up if you’re a kid with a Tom Sawyer soul. I know.

White House aide Alexander Butterfield told the world about Nixon's recording system. White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed Trump's insane behavior on Jan. 6. Which current staffer will step up, be a hero and spill the beans?

James Comey and Letitia James are challenging Lindsey Halligan's appointment as interim U.S. attorney. Word is Halligan was handpicked by President Trump. To Trump, her qualifications were obvious.

The next few days are going to be interesting. There will be an avalanche of Epstein information followed by a long parade of officials who have no comment whatsoever. At what point in this story can we expect a U.S. battleship or two to suddenly fire shots at Venezuela?
