Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Just not as much as he wants to spend $172 million to buy Cruella Defiler two Gulfstream jets, murder fishermen in foreign waters, or give $20 Billion to Argentina so his billionaire buds don’t have to take a loss this quarter. #FirstLoadOfHopesAndPrayersArrivingAnyDayNow
