I grow tired of sensible pundits reporting details that prove our current President is coming apart, being rude, being stupid, or being nonsensible. Those of us who read your columns or Substacks all know this. It's past time for someone to gird up and call people into #revolution.

GDT's Frankenstein: Reminds me of an old Python sketch. "It's your affair if you want to play tennis with five people, but don't go calling it doubles!"
This isn't Frankenstein. It's a sweet story about a monster who forgives his creator for abandoning him to die in flames. Call it something else.

I've been using Cheech and Chong's gummies for pain reduction and sleep. The continuing resolution has just banned hemp products with THC or CBN. I don't know what I will do after my supply runs out in 5 months. I'm hoping this addendum will be challenged and overturned.

I am saddened that Heinlein's word of the '60s has now become a touchstone for the MAGA world of stupid. Couch-loving VPOTUS is such an idiot. He can't even grok the word Grok.
