Fred Trump died in 1999 at age 93. He had, Trump said, a “heart that couldn’t be stopped” with almost no health conditions to speak of throughout his long life. “He had one problem,” Trump said. “At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do they call it?” He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him.
“Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said.
“Like an Alzheimer’s thing,” Trump said. “Well, I don’t have it.”

we are all sluggo on this blessed day

edited Nancy comic by Ernie Bushmiller.

Sluggo is out for a stroll when he encounters a sign on a shop window that reads, "Boys wanted to tend cows who can use tools"

with a confused expression, Sluggo imagines the Gary Larson Cow Tools comic, with a bipedal cow showing off 4 crude lumpy tools.

One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

From a CBS rep: "This is not a segment for broadcast. This is not a real title. This is not a real sponsor. And this is not a real story. This is simply an experimental mockup the graphics team created with placeholder text for a potential non-televised, in-person private event."
