Trump on RFK's testimony today (yes, it's as bad as you might predict)

"If you look at what's going on in the world with health and look at this country also with regard to health, I like the fact that he's different."

So there you go. Doesn't that analysis make you feel better?

Again, the press has a role here when the POTUS makes inane, kindergarten level comments like this.

political content on that show. There are many incidents they do not run with. The crop is abundant, and they let most of it rot in the fields. Instead they have umpteen versions of a few different sketch formulaic plots that are insipid. I used to watch on a VCR and zip through most of the show. Now if they wanted to something like The Week That Was, or Spitting Image they could have several bits on each broadcast. he Smothers Brothers were far more politically radical, and they kept it clean.

they won't have to do much original thinking, sure - but going through all the bullshit is most definitel work, and hard work at that.

He practices blood letting, advocates treatment with leaches and tobacco enemas as cure for the vapors...and not to worry he will see to it that insurance will cover snail slime for wounds.

So it’s probably about time to go inject some bleach. Because MIT. Ask the Unibomber.
