#tRUMP is a "NARCOTERRORIST"! (That is, #DOZEYDON is a #TERRORIST afflicted with #NARCOLEPSY !) He needs those old "GAG GLASSES" like the late great #ErnieKOVACS used to wear as his prissy poet character #PercyDOVETONSILS ! Remember those goggles? A popular item in novelty shops back in the day.

Watching #ErnieKovacs again on #TubiTv. This is the entire box set that had been sold a few years back. Every late night comedy show owes his debt. And goddammit, Edie Adams was a great comic in addition to being a great and gorgeous singer.

"Some years ago I had a complete nervous breakdown, was dead broke and had to be put in a charity ward with 30 others. I was there 18 months and doctors didn't give me long to live. So now each day to me is a special dividend, so I live it to the hilt."
