Pigeon pellets

CBS announced that The Late Show will broadcast live after the first Democratic debate.  Finally we'll find out how many ways Colbert's writers can say "Biden is old."

Stephen Taubert of Syracuse got 48 months in the cooler for threatening to kill Barack Obama and Maxine Waters.  He was visited by the FBI, the Secret Service and local law enforcement; nevertheless, he persisted.  At sentencing, the US Attorney Grant Jaquith, presumably a Trump appointee, said, "Racist threats to kill present and former public officials are not protected free speech."  At least one new federal prison will be needed just to handle the threats against Ilhan Omar.

An online petition seeks to name the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets "President Barack H. Obama Avenue."  Has anyone asked Obama if he wants that tacky tin-plated firetrap in the middle of his street?

Remember the "Axis of Evil"?  You don't hear much about it now that Kim and Trump are making the beast with two backs, figuratively speaking.  Don't worry, we now have the "Troika of Tyranny."  As Venezuela sinks into chaos, Nicolas Maduro is being supported by Cuba, Nicaragua, and Russia.  Cuba was Twitter-threatened with monster sanctions, and Nicaragua's turn will probably come when Trump learns to spell it.  As for Russia...hey, nice weather for the big parade today, huh, Vlad?

The Senate Judiciary Committee held another investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails today, but either the sole witness was William Barr or Hillary has really let herself go.  Meet America's new sweetheart, Mazie Hirono, who frightened Barr so badly that he won't come back tomorrow, despite the expert fellatio he received from Chairman Graham.  And before you scream "campaigning," Senator Hirono is not running for president.  Too bad.  My two Abe Lincolns say Trump will soon be calling her "Tokyo Rose."

Oh, yes, a shooting at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.  Two dead, four wounded, usual kind of thing.  Reason?  Who says he needed a reason?
