No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Genuinely curious who believes this. Seriously. Do you know anyone?

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Heidi Gardner is one of the best Peyton & Eli guests in a long time. Her encyclopedic knowledge of Kansas City Chiefs football helps a lot. Wish they would have talked about her exit from SNL, though…

I’ve seen some horrible AZ Cardinals losses in the 35 years I’ve lived here, but that might be the worst. Literally giving away a TD, then whatever the weird interception-that-turned-into-a-Titans TD thing was, the inability to stop a winless team when it counted. Just brutal.

Trump, Hegseth fat shame generals, test loyalties in manic military rant | Opinion

Donald Trump said the military should use U.S. cities as training grounds in a bizarre speech to top-ranking military brass called by Pete Hegseth.

The column I wrote about Trump and Hegseth’s “event” ran in some papers around the country today. So I was treated to some extra, um, feedback. In truth, a lot of it was positive. The link to it is in comments. Have a look!

Curious to see whether #SNL plays it this safe the entire show. It’s certainly not paying Trump $16 million to try to keep the bully from stealing your lunch money (hello CBS and ABC), but it feels weirdly cautious. I guess we’ll see what happens with Weekend Update.

Just watched a Morgan and Morgan law firm commercial where an old wrestler looking guy beat the crap out of a kid. I think I might go with another firm…

Not much of a #SNL cold open. Gee, maybe there just wasn’t much to work with since the last time the show was on the air…

Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth is kind of perfect. #SNL

I don't know why I subject myself to the passive-aggressive critique of the Wordle Bot - dude, I solved it - but I do.

Now Danica Patrick is slamming the selection of Bad Bunny as Super Bowl halftime performer. Honestly at this point I wish the NFL would announce that not only is he performing at halftime, he will start at quarterback for the designated home team. Do these people have nothing better to do?

Watching the Speaker of the House misrepresent, you might charitably say, various Democratic positions, along with basic facts, on Fox News. And John Roberts just merrily goes right along with it. What happened to Roberts? He used to be a real journalist.
