The headline ALMOST got me to click on this #NYT opinion piece.
Fortunately, the byline stopped me. I'll bet it was the right decision. Not-reading Maureen Dowd usually works out well for me.

Swell. The Speaker of the House is straight out of Hogan's Heroes.
(Let me help, kids. Hogan's Heroes was a sitcom from a time when American TV execs thought a sitcom about Nazis running a POW camp would be appropriate.)

Forgive me if I don't have a lot of confidence in the news side, either.
Five years ago, I thought WaPo was the best newspaper in the country. Now I only know what they're saying when somebody screenshots it in my social media.

I would scoff at the ridiculousness of teenagers digging into supposed irregularities in the 2020 election, except when 22 year-old Thomas Fugate is running DHS's hub for terrorism prevention, the very idea of "ridiculous" seems passé.
