Four days after surviving an assassination attempt in 1981, Reagan was photographed walking in the hospital corridor with First Lady Nancy Reagan. So, Mitch McConnell couldn't be wheeled to the window for a wave?

I've used the Marion Paroo system (Miser Madison variation) for years. I have a big Balzac collection.

This is not a real human. Not a leader. Not protecting us. Not a cop. He is a tiny man, living out a fever dream, surrounded by thugs & wrapped in the security of gas canisters, flash-bangs & tasers. I hope one day we find him in a hidey hole. And we get to lean down and ask, “Where are you from?”

Then, YG, allow me to introduce Cinders. She is neither human nor the worst. Scooped from the street, she is our princess.

Doesn’t the White House look good? And such a thoughtful tenant. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July.

Greetings, YG, from the birthday party in Maine. Under a nearly full moon, we lifted our glasses to you and your benevolence.

The Associated Press and WaPo used “Gulf of Mexico.” The NYT weenied out by using “Florida’s Gulf Coast.”
