Ain't life grand? Saw an opening on LinkedIn on Tuesday, posted two days earlier. Interesting work, worthy cause, good skill fit, the right hours (part-time), remote, strong wage. Perfect for me! Finished the application Thursday with a killer cover letter. Hit 'Submit' and ... the job was gone.

“I want them to focus on the cities because the cities are where you really have what’s called ‘sanctuary cities’ and that’s where the people are.”
The wisdom DJT shared at the G-7 this morning is dazzling. Who knew the cities are where sanctuary cities are? Who knew cities are where people are?

Tough week for me. Didn’t win a Pulitzer (tying a record I’ve set many many times previously) and didn’t get elected Pope. What am I doing wrong?

Anybody think we’re living Woody Allen’s “Bananas.” Are these the next EOs? “From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.”

I woke up this morning thinking the crown of creation is when Bill Anderson and Don Wayne wrote (and Lefty Frizzell sang) lyrics that rhymed ‘Saginaw Michigan’ with ‘You’re a wise, young ambitious man.’

Dear Santa — Can you time-travel? If you can, this is my Christmas wish: Take me back to when I could sub Jayden Daniels into my fantasy team’s starting lineup in place of Jalen Hurts on the Sunday before your big day. I believe in you. Let’s see if you believe in me.

Just sayin’. Belichick to N.C. rings a bell about my time covering Colorado back in the day when the CU shocked college football with a ballyhooed hire of a different aging Patriots coach. Chuck Fairbanks (who’d been successful in CFB earlier in his career, unlike Belichick) was 7-26 in Boulder.

Christmas lights up and on before Thanksgiving … misdemeanor or felony?

Scalloped oysters on the Thanksgiving dinner table … misdemeanor or felony?

Salad of Gold for Thanksgiving dinner … misdemeanor or felony?

Gaetz says he withdrew because his nomination was becoming a “distraction.” Really? You think? Once again, no self-accountability necessary for these foofs.

I have arrived. Here we are now. Entertain us.
