On the nod


 "I was at the bottom of my class.  I started doing heroin, I went to the top of my class.  Suddenly, I could sit still."  Roadkill Bob Kennedy, your new HHS secretary, apparently suggesting that people with ADHD self-medicate with heroin.  Burroughs would dig it.  So would the efficiency czar, because heroin dealers don't take Medicare.  The deficit is practically gone.

In a related story, untreated milk from Raw Farm of Fresno County, California, has tested positive for bird flu, despite being the product of what the label calls "grass-grazed cows."  May also contain Salmonella, Listeria, Brucella, e. coli and other natural goodness.  Supercharge your immune system for the days to come. 

If the Leader is determined to end the FBI, at least they will go out in a burst of glory.  With help from the UK's National Crime Agency they grabbed Daniel Andreas San Diego, wanted since 2003 in connection with two bombings in San Francisco.  The animal rights activist was living in northern Wales, in a village so remote that most of the inhabitants speak Welsh, Maenan between Conwy and  Betws-y-coed.  This is the nearest town, Llanrwst (my spellcheck can't believe it either):


Right now Americans are thinking, "I could telecommute from there for four years."

And now for those who want to be shown fear in a handful of dust:


It's a coded message to Melania -- "You can be replaced."

It's a fantasy that Jady keeps having.

Tim Walz was right.  Weird.

All week people have been dumping on Joe Biden, who is still president.  Why is he pardoning a turkey instead of ____?  Why aren't former White House employees being invited to take part in photos?  Why are the Bears blowing games at the last minute?  (The buck stops here, right?)  Well, he had a chat with Xi Jinping in Peru and three all-but-forgotten Americans (Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung) were released after years of detention in China.  There's a shaky ceasefire in Lebanon.  He's taking steps to protect key programs from being trampled by Trumpzilla.  It's all good, although I'd still like to see him free Leonard Peltier.  And his Thanksgiving message didn't seethe with hate.  I'll miss that.

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." ...
