#216 In which honesty is the best policy

Since today the man of w & t will be busy writing his speech for tonight, from which he will no doubt ramble off into God knows where, today will probably be a slow news day all around. But to catch up a bit on recent federal doings, our man in scrubs, Dr. Oz, has suggested solving the problem of lack of doctors in rural areas by replacing the sparse humans with AI. We suggest asking the AI on your device a question about anything, and then ask yourself, do you want that AI giving you your next colonoscopy? And then there’s a report that Trump’s third-country deportations cost $133,000 a pop. Chump change, we guess. Trump change? And now that Venezuela is our 51st state, we’ve cut off oil supplies to Cuba, which desperately needs the stuff—take that, Fidel! The UN has condemned us for this, but who cares about the UN when we’ve now got the Trump Board of War Peace to run the world? And finally, because we respect our readers too much, we will not report on the latest from Junior and Eric, other than to say there’s a lot of whining in 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.
