I blame Spy´s¨tiny fingered vulgarian¨ running gag and the 2011 WH correspondents dinner for our present mess.

But they were both pretty funny.

Just a bit–8 months anyway.

I blame about 62 million irresponsible voters and a click-bait driven media.

I read Spy magazine back in the '80s. I remember that phrase “tiny-fingered vulgarian.” I’ve never thought of him in any other way, because it so perfectly describes him. Full credit to Greydon Carter for inventing that little turn of phrase nearly 30 years ago.

“Short.” “Short-fingered vulgarian.” Have we abandoned all semblance of history?

I hope Kal Penn runs for some elected office one day. In the Al Franken mode. The humorous but serious wonk. Liberals should stop ceding the elected official and activist ground to the wing nut Jon Voight, James Woods of this world.

Wow, Melania looks tense as Barron starts to walk along pointedly ignoring his father.

Something not quite right there. Not criticizing the kid, just wondering about the dynamic.

Thank you. Things like that get on my nerves. I spend a fair chunk of my life telling friends and strangers alike that treacly refrigerator-magnet advice they just posted about setting sail and leaving the harbor and living your dreams is NOT BY MARK TWAIN JESUS YOU PEOPLE.
