Leveling Down

There is a part of me that would not have been disappointed had Canada won a gold medal or two in Olympic hockey, just so I wouldn't have to endure the spectacle of Trump wobbling around the Oval Office with a replica version around his neck when the men's team inevitably arrives, grinning like a three-year-old that just got a cookie.

But I'm heartened by the gold-winning USA women's hockey team who seem, so far, to be showing the orange fart-machine their tight, muscular asses as they refuse any invite for a gathering in Washington. I would expect no less of them, really. They're women, they're smart.

If you haven't heard of a pundit named Jeff Tiedrich, you should. His daily round-up of the political scene is one-part Walter Cronkite, one-part Sam Kinison and one-part fragmentation mine. The headline of his latest newsletter is:

"America graciously accepts Denmark's offer to send mental health ships."

To me, his collection of political news bits are what broadcast news should sound like as it pulls no punches and reminds the audience at all times that Trump's brain went "fuckity-bye" a long time ago.

You're welcome.

Final Note: This is the first time I've ever referenced Pokemon in a 'toon. We can all die happy now.
