Not only...but also...

 Twenty-four hour cable news is incapable of covering more than one story at a time, so the Organization brings you up to date on the rest of the world.  

The telecommunications cable and natural gas pipeline under the Baltic connecting Finland with Estonia have been damaged, and the Finns suspect a "state actor," not naming any names.  Finland joined NATO earlier this year.

As if climate change wasn't devastating enough, a study by Cambridge University and the Czech Academy of Sciences warns that a shortage of hops could ruin the flavor of European beer.  Drier, hotter conditions are blamed.

The Russian Olympic Committee has been suspended by the IOC over Putin's invasion of Ukraine.  This might not be such a punishment, as Paris is experiencing an outbreak of bedbugs.

Did you know that Hester Prynne was a feminist who stood up to the establishment?  Such is the interpretation Rep. Nancy Mace took from Hawthorne's novel, and the reason she sported a large scarlet letter A on her shirt -- because she spent a week among the other Puritans "being a woman up here and being demonized for my vote and for my voice."  It probably wasn't related to her telling Tim Scott's prayer breakfast last July how her lusty boyfriend nearly made her miss the opening hymn.  (His name is not Dimmesdale, either.)

Steve Garvey, former baseball player and family man, wants to be a Republican senator from California.  Garvey is 74 and probably has not fathered multiple children by multiple women recently.

The golden age of personal bodyguards continues, as Trump attacks by name Dan Alexander, the "third rate psycho writer" who told the truth about him in "Forbes, a Globalist 'Rag'" owned by the "Communist Chinese Government."  Hey!  Look who is on the list, first professional athlete ever:  Michael Jordan!  


Yeah, well, Ron DeSantis pretends to be taller than he is.  Imagine.

Talks have broken down between the Hollywood studios and the Screen Actors Guild.  I forgot they were still on strike when the writers settled.  So much for the old joke about who's more important.

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Going out of business

 With polls sounding a death knell and red-hats leaving his rallies like they left the oven on, Trump has dimly seen his future.  That's why Trumpworld is holding a sale on all Bibles, gold sneakers (pre- and post-assassination styles), Victory47 cologne ("My eyes!  My eyes!") and the limited-edition Trump diapers: Get a jump on your Christmas shopping and remember who made it possible to say "Merry Christmas" again with a fabulous  Trump Victory Tourbillon watch,  only $100,000.  Three colors, 122 diamonds, only 147 available.  Or a shoddier version for $499 if you're impoverished by Bidenomics.  Profits will not go to the campaign, the website says, and when has Trump ever lied? "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself," said Mark Twain, who died in 1910, so maybe it's always been this way.   Tommy Tuberville,  football's worst mistake, thinks Kamala Harris should drop out of the...

Full disclosure

 With Trump and his silk pajamas in recess, the political story of the day must be  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,  sharing the story that a worm crawled into his brain, ate some of it and died.  The New York Times says it obtained a deposition from his 2012 divorce case and came across this nugget.  At the time of the parasite's discovery, doctors said he also had mercury poisoning, probably from eating a lot of fish.  In the deposition Kennedy says, "I have short-term memory loss and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me."  At least he doesn't blame the worm on vaccines.  Even before his stalking horse earned the nickname Worm Brain, things were going Trump's way.  His boutique judge  Aileen Cannon  postponed indefinitely the stolen documents case that mean old Jack Smith is waiting to present because she has to study eight pending motions from the defense and she's just stumped by their  "novel and difficult questions." ...
