Mr. Vice President, nobody has asked you to apologize. We just want you to shut up about it.

Tried to explain to my wife how momentous this was. My wife knows baseball, not football. So I translated it. Down by 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Hold them to no runs in the 8th. Score two runs in the bottom of the 8th. Execute a triple play in the top of the 9th. Then a walk-off grand slam.

The old police detective procedural, but much more, "Bosch." Seven seasons. Just great.

She is not the worst oart if this administration. But really close to the worst. Some place after Trump himself, Bondi, Hegseth, Miller, Patel, Vought, Vance. Whom have I left out?

I went to the dictionary to see if Trump a sociopath, a psychopath or a narcissist. Turns out, he is all three. Let's make sure 2026 is the year we get rid of this guy, once and for all.

I am delivering a talk next week at the APHA Annual Meeting addressing this very question. After 50 years of conservative social theory that fetishizes individualism and has created a culture of selfishness, we need to foster a widespread culture of "caring for the other." Contact me if interested.

So we Jews need to keep waiting for the Messianic Age. Kirk was a smoothe talker, but the Answer to All Questions, the Beginning of All Ideas the Teller of Fabulous Jokes? Nope. And the Messiah is unlikely to be a homophobic, racist, anti-semetic, misogynist. But it is a shame he was killed.

So, how many of us are there who can't stand to listen to Jennings? I turn the channel the minute I see him. An unending flack for the right wing, plus inconsiderate as well.
