Hear me out: Pope Bernie. He would finally get a chance to deliver his vision on an international stage, piss off the president to no end, and finally get the Bernie bros off of everyone's backs. There would have to be some minor theological adjustments on his end, but no big deal.

Those of you with long memories might remember a brief period in 2009 when "bomb-laden underpants" were a hot topic of sorts. From a 2010 list of "Top 10 Dumbest Terrorists."

Fix the pipes that still can flow,
Forget your perfect offering,
The plumber has a crack in him,
That's how his snake gets in.

For all of you who think of the '80s as a golden age, in some ways it was, but things were just as messed up as they are today. At least we thought they were. I revisit the scene in 1985 (and have a long, hard talk with my younger self).

Last Monday my wife and I attended a lovely family wedding outdoors at an event venue. There was a slight delay and as we waited for the ceremony to begin, we were invited to mingle. Guests left their purses on the chairs, and I thought it would make an interesting composition.
