The Number Are In!

After years of extensive research of online postings along with legacy studies of birthday and mother’s day/father’s day cards, I have determined that there are 205,450,038 “greatest mom/dad ever.” Math itself precludes this from being even remotely possible, as there can only be one “greatest” mom or dad. And these, of course, would be MY mom and dad.

Things Change

In the 2009 movie “State of Play,” reporter Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe) visits Washington DC’s Ben's Chili Bowl and appears to be a regular. The scene features the sign: "List of who eats free at Ben's : Bill Cosby, NO ONE ELSE".

(Insert your punch line here.)

Stupidity Gone Viral

NEWS ITEM: A measles outbreak continues to strike Minnesota as health officials stress the importance of getting vaccinated.
There are now 48 confirmed cases in Hennepin, Ramsey and Crow Wing counties, mostly affecting unvaccinated Somali-American children, according to data released by the state's Department of Health. Of those impacted, 46 are children 10 and younger; 41 are Somali-American; and 45 have not been vaccinated against the disease, according to the data.

EDITORIAL: Thank you Dr. Trump, for opining your skepticism on vaccine methodology. (Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump Administration.)

The Depp Position

NEWS ITEM: In the wake of actor Johnny Depp joking about assassinating the president, the White House released the following statement: “President Trump has condemned violence in all forms, and it’s sad that others like Johnny Depp have not followed his lead.”*

EDITORIAL: “In all forms” evidently does not include when, during his campaign, Trump advocated punching protesters in the face, offered to pay the legal fees of a man who – without provocation – slugged a Trump protester in the head and longing for the days when protesters “were taken out on stretchers.”

(Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump Administration.)

Well, THAT Takes The Cake!

Lynne Patton, Eric Trump's wedding planner and former Vice President of the Eric Trump Foundation, has been chosen to lead Region II of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which includes New York and New Jersey.

Put ME Into a Coma If This Continues

My concern for someone who willingly goes to North Korea hovers around .001. My desire to have an international incident commence between nations headed by two reality-challenged children with nukes over the same aforementioned foreign traveler hovers around .00000001.

"Why was there a Civil War?"

So asked our president recently, adding “Why could that one not be worked out?” Yes, staggering ignorance on both the historical and moral planes, topped only by his assertion that Andrew Jackson “was really angry” about the Civil War, the former President (evidently) having said: “There’s no reason for this.”

Actually, there’s no reason Jackson would have said anything about the Civil War, having died sixteen years prior to its start.

(Ladies and gentlemen: the Trump Administration.)
