#193 In which we wonder, along with Chico, why not a chicken

After a weekend off, the first thing we do at ConstiToonies HQ is assemble the creative staff to see what we’ll do next. Mostly what folks bring to the table is either already done to death by others (we’re looking at you, late night TV) or not easily made fun of or just more of the same. Trump won’t seek any sort of authorization for playing Battleship with Venezuelan sailors is no different from Trump not seeking any sort of authorization for doing anything else he probably shouldn’t be doing. After all, when God created the heavens and the earth He didn’t consult Congress first. The man of wealth and taste’s 80th birthday bash estimated to cost $700,000 for repairs after the fact? We’ll take it out of the SNAP fund. But targeting the most in need is never really good for much of a laugh. Ignoring the courts? We’re back to that authorization question again. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker accusing The Donald of suffering from "dementia" inevitably leading to a riposte from Himself that Pritzker will be jailed for not bending the knee? Typical, typical, typical. Getting an MRI for unknown reasons and challenging AOC to a cognitive health test (which he seems to think is a measure of IQ and not a question mostly of memory function)? Who wants to attack someone’s health (except maybe Governor Pritzker)? 

It ain’t easy coming up with the good stuff. So while we know this isn’t the usual fodder for our bile, and it certainly couldn’t have been funny for those involved, including the waterfowl, we resort to simply reposting this headline from the WDW News Today website: “Woman Knocked Unconscious After Getting Hit In Face By Duck While Riding Mako Coaster At SeaWorld Orlando.”

Trump’s visit to the UK was the usual collection of press conference blathering and warnings that the windmills are attacking the whales and remarking in surprise how well all the natives speak English, but it also brought us the proof of what hitherto had only been common chitchat: the man cheats at golf. You can see all the common chitchat with a simple Google search, and most of it is pretty entertaining, but you can also now see a video of a caddy earning his princely tip by conveniently dropping a fresh ball away from the rough so the Chief Executive can get a clear shot of it. A couple of things about this are notable. First, Trump himself doesn’t do the actual ball manipulation; he has his caddy do it for him. And second, he cheats at golf in Scotland. Scotland! This is like eating Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in Italy, or not eating poutine in Canada. It is an insult to the core essence of the country. But, then again, it is Donald I-think-I’ll-give-myself-a-three-on-that-last-hol...

Any suggested limit on firearms, maybe things like universal background checks, turn our thinking and praying politicians into raging action heroes. However, the Trump administration, the last people you would expect to take our guns from our cold dead hands, is considering—FINALLY—a ban, albeit limited, on firearms. They are looking at making America great again by banning transgender folks from owning firearms.   Oliver Clothzoff, from this year’s Great British Baking Show was unavailable for comment.
