Emboldened by its Peace Prize given to Donnie The Wannabe Despot, FIFA announces that Ted Lasso will be awarding the organization’s new prize for literature.

He’s hundreds of years old and his appearance changes.

His sled carries enough presents for all the children of the world, which means it’s bigger on the inside.

And finally, the only way he can make all his rounds in a single night is to time travel.

I rest my case: Santa is a Time Lord.

So I’m thinking that in the inevitable bio pic they should go with Jason Stratham and Adam Driver…

Am I the only one who mistook the turkey pardoning ceremony for a presser featuring Donnie, Noem and RFK The Lesser?

Yes, a Federal judge ruled that Lindsey Halligan was an illegally appointed prosecutor, but on the other hand, she was voted Miss Congeniality.

So…yeah.

Come on, J Schools—graduate students knowing something more than he-said / she-said faux objectivity.

An MSNOW reporter filed a story on the sad Kennedy family news citing an “unofficial curse.”

Which, I suppose, differentiates it from all those, you know, honest-to-god curses plaguing the world.

Is it possible that the surprising cordiality of Donnie The Wannabe Despot to Mamdani is because Donnie in his increasing dotage thought he was talking to JD Vance?

Just askin’—because Occam’s Razor, man.

Though I am the curmudgeon who annually wishes to be put into a medically induced coma from Oct 30 to Jan 1 and thereby miss the trifecta of horror show holidays, I can’t resist entering into the Best Oblique Xmas Film debate with a rarely cited contender: Three Days Of The Condor.

While Lindsey Halligan made a very poor showing in the Comey grand jury segment of today’s proceedings, she did do better in both the evening gown and talent portions. So, yeah, at least there’s that…

Ooooh—my mistake!

All this discussion of the polititical status of Donnie The Wannabe Despot—they’ve been saying that he’s a “Lame DUCK.”

I thought they were calling him a…

Well, never mind. I don’t really feel dumb because it makes as much sense if not more *my* way.

Just sayin’.

The Epstein files vote in the House has seemingly revealed that there is a Sex Trafficking Causcus which apparently contains a single member.

I had no idea.

Dear BBC:

Here’s how to fix Doctor Who—fire Russell T and Bad Wolf Productions, hire Mark Gatiss as show runner, and—most importantly—swap in Emma Thompson’s Zoe as the Doctor, leather jacket, haircut and all.

You’re welcome.

The WSJ reports Donnie The Wannabe Despot is rolling back food tariffs to lower their cost.

That means the tariffs increased consumer costs, which Donnie has denied.

If we lose our democracy, for god’s sake don’t let it be to this moron.

It’s official—I’m turning in the last of my Cool Hunting credentials.

I just read a report in the tech press saying that Apple’s new iPhone Pocket was almost sold out.

A neon-hued jockstrap for a phone as an object of desire? I did not see that one coming.

MSNBC just declared Spanberger is the next Governor of Virginia.

As a Dem voter in the People’s Republic Of Northern Virginia, as always, Sane America, you are very welcome.

And please let me be the first to say it: Winsome, lose some.

Well, it’s the end of Daylight Savings Time, so this year I’m turning the clocks back to November 6, 2012.

Fingers crossed it works.

Got early voting done today. I did my part once again to save Democracy in Virginia and, in turn, the nation.

And as always, you’re very welcome, Sane America.

If you’re voting this Tuesday, there’s only two choices: Democrat or Fascism. One is not perfect, but the other is deeply, blindly wrong.

Report from war-torn Washington DC:

Wonder what the occupying national guard (aka the shock troops of Donnie The Wannbe Despot) are going to make of annual gay Halloween parade in Georgetown?

The BBC has announced another Doctor Who series, but no longer in partnership with Disney.

Fingers crossed it begins with Peter Capaldi regaining consciousness on the floor of the TARDIS and saying “Oh, thank god! What a horrible dream!”

Based on what Stormy Daniels has said, if there’s one person in DC who definitely doesn’t need more ball room, it’s Donnie The Wannabe Despot.

Thank you, good night and I’ll be here all week! Don’t forget to tip your server! Drive home safely!

I’m looking forward to participating in the No Kings protest this weekend, and I’m bemused by Republicans’ sad attempt to depict the millions expected to attend as an “Hate America” rally.

Please allow my friend Dr Henry Jones to clarify the march’s true message…

Recently, the racist Young Republicans have frequently and deservedly been compared to the Klan. But for obvious reasons, that may make them harder to spot.

So here’s a tip: invariably, the Young Republicans are the ones in the 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton contour sheets.

Hope this helps.

I’ve never used Facebook, kept away from Instagram, and refused to use Meta AI for one reason—Zuckerberg’s troubling ethos.

I’ve never regretted turning my back on his company, and here’s the latest reason: his MAGA Ai advisor…
