Can some reporter please get to the bottom of what's going on under Trump's trousers and suit jacket? Is there no one out there who's up to the job?

Has he played golf lately? He might be too infirm to do it.

Got another one of those $90 government payments today - that makes one for me and one for my wife. Trump thinks $180 will buy him two votes for GOP. But we will send it to the campaign of the most anti-Trump candidate we can find.

Macoun in October when crisp off the tree. It is the very taste of fall. Something else every other month.

Very unnatural gait. Has he even played golf recently?

Government is issuing $90 payments supposedly to help those over 65 to pay for Medicare B. I think I read that 20 million will be getting them. Obvious ploy to get us to think more kindly of Trump and his criminal minions - but the stink will always be on them.

Got my $90 check from the federal government today. So insulting that Trump thinks this will somehow sway me toward his contemptible regime. I will send it to a candidate who'd strongly opposed to him.

I remember discovering by chance the unmarked graveyard at the Connecticut School for Boys in 1974 (?) and then finding the old ledger of boys buried there and then writing about it for the local newspaper in Meriden where I was a reporter. Haunting and so sad.

ESPN’s home page is not really for sports fans so much as for promoting the company’s interests such as men and women hitting each other with their fists and feet.

The beautiful thing about having MLBTV is you can watch the game but listen to the radio feed of either of the two teams.

We are worse than a banana republic - their misdeeds usually affect only their own people while ours carry our current virus all across the earth.

Is he on the Mount Rushmore of perverted Republican office holders convicted or accused of sexually abusing boys or girls? It's a crowded field, but I think he is. Let the stink of it follow him into his grave.

I cheered the Braves’ win in 1957 with my friend Steven. We were 7 but already hated the Yankees.

The vast majority of sports fans know it's about the game and not the announcers. Most don't care at all about who's behind the microphone except maybe at the home-team level.

Instead of doing anything about high gas and oil prices, or even promising to, the Republicans are ridiculously denying it. They are dooming themselves to failure in November.

You keep electing and appointing mean, vicious, hateful men and women and eventually the voters catch on. That’s what’s happening now. The Republican Party has run aground.

How many impeachable offenses is he allowed to commit before he's actually, you know, impeached?

I've finally realized why the mysteries I've read lately (Horowitz, Cleves, etc.) are a bloated 350 pages or more when the ideal length for a mystery is more like 250 pages tops. The authors now are really writing not so much for readers as for a six-part TV series. The books suffer for it.

"No one will ever care as much about your writing as you do." That was the best writing advice I ever got - from an old writer guy when I was a young writer guy.

It’s hard to digest the news that Trump wants snipers stationed at the top of his massive arch. He’s like a mentally disturbed middle school boy.

Why not 60 minutes - or 90?
