Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
In the wake of the recent Las Vegas mass shooting, I think it may be a good idea if I don’t wear this German hockey team’s shirt for a while …
Translated, it means The Adler Mannheim, but who knows German in the USA? Most Americans can’t tell when to use “you’re” or “your.” And don’t get me started on the use of “there” vs. “their” vs. “they’re.”
I definitely will NOT be wearing this shirt to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.
Reporters cornered Donald Trump today at his New Jersey golf resort to ask him to rate his administration’s response to the devastation in Puerto Rico on a scale of 0 to 4. Trump replied, “Fore!”
On the disaster in Puerto Rico, yesterday Donald Trump demonstrated that he had a clear understanding of the gravity of the situation … “This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.” I may be hard on Trump sometimes, but in fairness to him, I think he’s got a pretty good handle on the “islandosity” of Puerto Rico.

I would exceed my longest post ever if I tried to list my Tucker hate points while also exposing my mental instability charming eccentricity that I have tried so hard to hide from the authorities. I despise him and his smarmy smugness, along with his complete inability to make a rational argument. But what I despise about him most is this …
That look. Arrrgh! It makes me so mad. That cocked-head, slack-jawed look with vertical brow furrows right between his eyes that he uses to convey that he thinks whoever is speaking to him is a complete idiot who makes no sense at all. That look makes me want to peel the skin off his face and make another a lampshade out of it.
Wow, that helps. I feel much better. OK, back to burying the body in the crawlspace work. I’ll just turn on my favorite lamp …
