The undiscovered country

Once again Nancy Pelosi has demonstrated why she is Speaker of the House and I am a badly-dressed blogger listening to Pink Floyd as I type.  She's just a superior person who said this to Anderson Cooper:  "He's our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group -- morbidly obese, they say.  So I think it's not a good idea."

Oh, well played.  His "age group" is six years younger than she is, and the expert use of "they say" throws a favored verbal tic back at him.  And he does look like he buys his suits from the Homer Simpson Collection.  Also, so much concern from someone who says she prays for him.  He must be flinging presidential crap at the walls this morning.

Unable to dislodge the Speaker from what's left of his brain, Trump chose to go after Fox News in general and Neil Cavuto in particular, whining, "We miss the great Roger Ailes."  Ailes -- now that's morbidly obese -- would never let one of his drones criticize The Leader, not even one with a history of serious illness and a certain familiarity with drugs and clinical procedure.  (Just to show there were no hard feelings, Trump also tweeted his joy that Fox's Morning Morons had out-rated Joe Scarborough, who he is pretty sure murdered somebody.)

The (Deep State) FDA has provided a list of possible hydroxychloroquine side effects, but the most significant are psychosis, delirium, confusion and hallucinations.  But it does not specifically mention repetitiveness.  ("The frontline workers, many many are taking it.  I happen to be taking it!  I happen to be taking it!  I'm taking it!  Hydroxychloroquine!  Right now, yeah!  Couple weeks ago I started taking it!")  Now that's what an articulate president sounds like, Mister Obama.

For those who cherish efficiency over dignity, a company in Colombia has introduced a cardboard hospital bed which converts into a cardboard coffin, guaranteed to hold a patient up to 150 kg.  Fine for the average Colombian, but probably not for Americans.  Of whom more than 90,000 have now died from Trump Disease.

Charlotte, North Carolina, may want to order a couple hundred of these corrugated mom carriers in advance of the Republican convention scheduled for August, because the hoax will have ended by then and if it isn't, so what?  Anyway, no one will ever describe it better than Evan Hurst:  "The Republican National Convention is a special place.  It's like a NASCAR rally had a baby with Ted Nugent in the dumpster behind a Cracker Barrel and they decided to never bathe the baby."  That's in a normal year.  Will we ever have another?
