Treaty obligations, the “supreme law of the land,” according to the Constitution, and invasions don’t mix. The Constitution also gives Congress a distinct role.

@wdiy.org I just got caught up on Stephen Colbert’s show from last night. He did a segment on the LV, co-hosted with Amanda Seyfried. It can be found on his YT channel.

@wdiy.org I just saw a new German film called Köln 75, about Keith Jarrett, one of the best things to emerge from the LV. It has a very limited theatrical release (I saw it in Fairfax, VA), and will be streaming on Apple, I think.

I recently learned the most useful euphemism: guano gala. It means exactly the same thing as the expression you used, and has its own alliteration, but it sounds soooooo much more refined.

People now often label their thing “Americana” to distance themselves from the stuff to which you refer, just as people once called themselves “chemists” to signal that they were an alternative to alchemists.

@pbump.com A TV spot for Skyrizi for ulcerative colitis speaks of “visibly” [sic] improving intestinal linings. (Something similar appears at the Skyrizi site.) I think it refers to docs using specialized tools, not the naked eye available to people seeing you in public, as depicted in the ad.

One joke I’ve heard is that if someone said he was inviting comparisons with Neville Chamberlain, he’d be proud to be equated with the dude who played for the 76ers and Lakers.

Interestingly, Vance is the one person Trump cannot fire, as he received a separate nod from the Electoral College. However, the one can freeze the other out of a meaningful role.

Cute comment, but under relevant U.S. law, Vance is the one person Trump can’t fire. Someone would have to bribe Vance to abdicate and create a vacancy for Ivanka or anyone else.

#wdiy Note to Audie Cohen: I caught up with last Monday evening’s program. The tribute to David Crosby was dominated by songs by Graham Nash. I believe the artists themselves always intended that their distinctive styles be recognized. May I suggest, say, the Airplane’s rendering of Triad?

And what do you conclude from Auckland FC’s performance? Maybe there just isn’t much need for more domestic leagues in the top tier, but a promising niche just below.

Andrew Thayer, an Episcopal priest, has an essay in the NYT in which he argues that Pilate was the Trump-like figure, representing just what Jesus opposed. Further, he said that Jesus was leading a protest march, and that palm branches were recognized as symbols of protest in that time and place.
