Not sure I totally get the joke, but love the daring way they've refreshed Bazooka Joe.
A parody comic, IAMBIC JOE, features the Bazooka Joe character and Mort talking to T.S. Eliot, a man in a tweed suit holding a typewriter. Joe says "Hey Mr. Eliot - How come you're not drinking coffee in the Hofgarten?" In the second panel, Eliot replies, "Because April is the cruellest month."

www.nytimes.com/live/2026/09... Only jarring if you expect Donald Trump to be honest.
A news story says the release of five maybe-not-terrorists-after-all in London conflicts with Donald Trump's earlier statement that "we had them under view for a long time and we got them."

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

To follow up here, Coach *actually uttered* the words shown below in the Capitol yesterday. I do not know of a STUPIDER thing ever uttered in the Capitol before. More biased or wrong-headed, sure. But as moronic? I'm not aware of any. (Unlike Coach, I know the aviation world. This is absurd.)

Canada's leaders are doing the necessary, hard, right thing. Team MAGA is doing the senseless, dishonorable, self-damaging thing. And no one in the GOP dares stand up to it—even those whose states are most harmed by this stupid "trade war" and disrespect to what was our closest ally.
