Hey kids remember that time when Alex Trebek shaved off his moustache? Then he died. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.

Ash Wednesday this week. My favorite of all the ceremonies during the indoctrination years. Once a year you line up and a priest smudges you and tells you you're never going to amount to anything.

If you auction off a golden toilet, do you have to pay a capital gains tax? So much famous pooping over the years, and it’s also where Marla used to sit and cry.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Lord Byron
She’s a total blam-blam.

Wishing a very Happy Valentine's Day to Melania and her side piece. Hope you get a little. Also: hello to Barron and his girlfriend who lives in Canada you don't know her.

It’s great that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewindowski have each other on Valentine’s Day, but who does Pam Bondi have? Just her husband, Rondi, & her two kids, Brondi and Little Hammy. Whitman’s sampler, zoom meeting, air kiss, then existential disappointment & anxiety attacks.
Happy Valentines Day.

Do Americans understand what "algorithm" means, or care? There are 3 online population baskets:
1. I know what an algorithm is and this makes total nerd sense.
2. I'm not sure what an algorithm is, but it sounds official and anyway I haven't had my daily outrage yet, so rawrr.
3. math is scary.

I'm Jay Sekulow & here I am with a middle-aged hack cover band I hired to play some Boston. I paid a lot for these bongos. They're real bongos. They aren't kiddie bongos or Sears bongos. Real bongos. I'm a real bongo player. And like all lawyers, my way of rocking out is to switch to a turtleneck.
