I cannot accept this prize.

Here it is back to you, Joe.

Thanks, that's the first laugh I've had since our recent sad news.

BBC news story title mishap:

Search for boy who fell from cliffs remains suspended

[Bicycle Bill]

Didn't know if this should go here or in politics, but it is a random thought ... it just happens to be related to the current political picture.

How come is it that John Dean's scream in 2004 was enough to obliterate his chances of nomination and election to the presidency, and pictures of front-runner Gary Hart's tête-à-tête with Donna Rice on board the yacht Monkey Business was enough to scuttle his presidential aspirations in 1988 — and even further back than that, the revelation that Thomas Eagleton had gotten electro-shock therapy was reason enough for George McGovern, even after promising to stand behind him 'one thousand percent', to still drop him as his running mate in 1972 and eventually replace him with Sargent Shriver...

....... but Trump's felony convictions, frequent lies, misstatements, racist remarks, made-up words, and even Freudian slips about 'being a dictator on Day 1' and telling people that 'If you vote for me this time, I'll fix it so well you'll never have to vote again' doesn't have people on both sides of the aisle calling for him to be thrown so far out of the Presidential race that the only way he'd ever see 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue again would be on Google Earth?

You're correct, of course.   Excuse me while I wipe the egg off my face.

Am I alone in thinking that Anthony Kiedis looks like the uncle you don’t leave your kid alone with these days?

Given his history, you aren’t alone.

And perhaps rain is what happens when clouds look down on us, see the mess we're in, and weep.   Maybe little kids are closer to right than we know when they say 'rain is just the angels crying'.

If I’m important to my local politicians, how come the mail I get from them always says “or current resident”?

Isn’t that kinda like saying to your wife, “I love you or your replacement”?
