Nearly done

 Everything ends -- the Black Death, the Hundred Years War, and the Year of our Ford 2020.  Tomorrow night, in fact, even if Times Square is not writhing with idiots taking pictures of themselves and getting their wallets lifted, the piece of time we have chosen to call 2020 is over forever.  Of course, it's only an artificial distinction we impose on the planet's trip around the sun -- look, it's not as if the madness will end but we can act like it will.  Meantime...

A lot of people died in the Trumpandemic.  One was Dawn Wells, who was on some show called Gilligan's Island.  Oh, all right, I've heard of Gilligan's Island, I didn't spend all of the Sixties reading Hegel.  Ms. Wells was 82 and died in an assisted-living facility in California.  Rep.-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) was half her age when he succumbed to the Democrat hoax in a Shreveport hospital.  Alan (Lord) Sugar, the entrepreneur who hosts the British version of The Apprentice, announced the death of his sister Shirley at 88.  

The super-contagious form of covid identified last week in Britain has turned up in Colorado and California in people who had no connection to the UK.  Surprise! the virus is evolving like every other living thing.  Experts think the newly developed vaccines will still be effective against it, but so far no one really knows if they work at all.  About two million Americans have been vaccinated so far; at this pace, it will take ten years to get around to everyone.  Trump blames the states.  Astonishing, right?

This is exciting:  Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, Jr., has hired a firm of forensic accountants to examine Trump's tax records.  Of course it's all completely UNFAIR & CORRUPT because Cyrus Vance, Sr., was Jimmy Carter's Secretary of State back in 1977-1980.   Witch hunt!!!  Must recuse!

On August 21, 2019, Pamela Perry told Nashville police that her boyfriend Anthony Warner was building bombs in his RV.  She gave them two of his guns and said she did not want them in her house.  They took her in for a psychiatric evaluation.  Then they explained that since he was not a Black woman or a Middle Eastern-looking guy, they could not enter his home to check.  No, that's not correct -- they didn't tell her.  

No $2,000, no $600, no nothing.  Prepare for eviction on Monday, and thank Mitch and the gang.  

Never mind the foodbanks:  the Dow is surging!

It's a Hawley jolly New Year -- Josh Hawley plans to join Mo Brooks in making Missouri a laughingstock next week by trying to overturn the election result one last time.  Could this yutz be opening his 2024 campaign?  Sure, why not, what the hell.

Three more weeks of this sedition kabuki.
