Elect A Clown, Expect A Circus

I picked that up at my physical therapy session this morning. Just to keep you in the loop, my shoulder is doing much better.  I can sense your relief.

Our most transparent President ever had an interesting day yesterday.  Besides for his tantrum, Twitter made hay out of the sign on his podium. The President* - I stole the asterisk from Charles Pierce – also stated that he respects the courts and Congress. Sure.  I can only take small doses, or my TDS acts up.

Daniel Day-Lewis has come to mind for a few political associations.  I mentioned one of his first movies, My Beautiful Laundrette, in a post years ago.  That movie dawned on me when I read some recent news.  It appears that Deutsche Bank has served as a beautiful laundrette for Trump and one of his main henchmen, L’il Jared. I also thought of DDL and his “I drink your milkshake” line from There Will Be Blood when I saw this pic.

I guess the shake thrower had made plans for Nigel.

In Khloe Kardashian news, she stepped out in a latex catsuit as well as showed off toned abs at the beach.  However, what I am most interested in is the fact that she is not ready for dating but hopes to marry again.  This contrasts with me being married but open to dating.

I got big plans for the weekend.  We have dinner Saturday night with The Banker and then a pack of village folks over for a BBQ on Sunday.  I hear it might rain.  If it does, I’ll send them home.  I don’t want them tromping all over my house. I just called Mollie Stone’s and ordered twenty of their chicken bratwursts.  Good stuff.  If you are reading this and were not invited Sunday, come on by.

See If It Sticks

Lady Gaga had an “epic entrance” at the 2019 Met Gala. The look at me extravaganza lasted sixteen minutes and included four outfits changes, with the Gaga lady ending up in her underwear.  There were also a lot of Kardashians.  These people need to get over themselves. I caught this headline, which naturally led me to ask when their second debut was.


And of course I’m all atwitter about the royal birth.  I’ve been tingling with anticipation for weeks and am now over the moon. One of my favorite columnists was cracking wise about the names yesterday.


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared today that Robert Mueller's Russia probe is over.  DJ's photographer got this exclusive photo from the Senate floor.
