Sunday bloody bloody bloody...

 Viagra spokesman and Purple Heart recipient Bob Dole is dead.  He was a horrible politician with a horrible wife and I have nothing more to say.

You will not be unsurprised that the idiot who said, "I love the poorly educated!" was poorly educated.  We covered the double negative in third grade, when Donnie was learning to tie his shoes.

This is better:

A teacher in Hopkins, Michigan, was suspended because he freaked out his students with a suggestion about how Ethan Crumbley could have killed "the people that he would need to" by pulling the fire alarm.  Sure, hindsight's 20-20.  Meanwhile over a hundred Michigan school districts closed Friday after receiving threats of "copycat" shootings.  Someone wants to create more of the "poorly educated."

Vive la France!  Far-right, anti-Muslim, anti-immigration presidential candidate Eric Zemmour held a rally near Paris.  As he left the stage a French antifa put him in a headlock to express disapproval of his "Make France great again" program.  We need more of this here to scare away the draft-dodging wusses.

Covid has been diagnosed in two hippos in the Antwerp Zoo.  They seem to be doing well apart from runny noses.  It's as gross as you'd expect.

Never mind Bob Dole.  Col. Edward Shames, the last survivor of the so-called "Band of Brothers" in Stephen Ambrose's book, has died.  According to his obituary he liberated several bottles of cognac from the Eagle's Nest labeled "for the Fuhrer's use only" and later opened one to toast his son's bar mitzvah.  I'll bet it tasted sweet.

"The trigger wasn't pulled.  I didn't pull the trigger," Alec Baldwin told George Stephanopoulos more than a month after the gun in his hand somehow killed Halyna Hutchins.  He will admit to cocking the hammer.  He doesn't feel guilty, only emotionally "scarred."  He also acknowledges that his acting career may be over.  I don't know about that -- America is a lot darker and harder to shock than it was in the days of Fatty Arbuckle (acquitted, in case you forgot).  Depends, doesn't it?  Michael Richards's career ended after one bad comedy set.  A two-time Oscar winner like Kevin Spacey may have room for redemption.  It would help if Baldwin and Spacey would acknowledge that they did terrible things.  It would help me.   I'm not saying weep all over Barbara Walters (is she still around?) but mensch up and we'll see.  Don't be a trump.

Here is a picture of some mountains with snow.  Stare at it until the rushing noise in your head comes to a complete stop.
