The Washington Post out with a story on how Trump's deplorable post about the death of Rob Reiner and his wife is testing the limits of his MAGA support. Nonsense. There is no bottom for Trump supporters, both in and out of politics. It's a bottomless pit.

Is there anyone out there who collects old Sports Illustrateds? They go back to the early-80s. Their common thread is that they all have stories that I wrote, which is why I saved them. I'm not claiming that's an inducement. Thanks for listening.

Calibri font banished as U.S. diplomacy returns to Times New Roman

Nine-year-old grandson just won his elementary school basketball game 20-7 and offered: “It was a lot harder than the final score indicated.” Already has his player cliches down.

A line from a Washington Post story about the new gold Oval office sign. Here it is: "Tim Cramer, the owner of a conservative creative design agency called Mosaic ..." Design agencies have political leanings?

RIP Michael Ray Richardson, a troubled and gentle soul who provided two of the most memorable quotes in NBA history. Asked during the 1981-82 season about the state of his Knicks, he said, "The ship be sinkin'." Asked how far it could sink, Sugar added: "The sky's the limit." You can't make that up.
