Send him here; he'll feel right at home as T. Rump's press secretary.

It is amazing to me how quickly a country can fall. I'd have never believed it had I not been experiencing it.

While everyone here must know I am hardly a Donald nor a Pence supporter (far from it!), but I did find this headline in the Wash Post rather unfair:

"Trump and Pence tweeted about Notre Dame fire but said nothing when 3 black churches burned"

There is a bit of a difference.

I agree. There is no equivalence here at all. Journalists do no one any favours when they resort to this kind of non-story simply as a way of attacking someone they don't like. There is enough to legitimately attack Donald Trump for without resorting to this kind of nonsense.

Only on Fox "news:" Thousands of fish perish after fire at Jim Beam warehouse

I didn't know fish swam in whiskey, but I bet they died happy!

The Russian cat lady should have been in KamCHAT ka. (French for "cat.") That's a fake eel in the seal's nose. You can see the sewing seam if you look closely. Upside down shower? Idiot, that's a douche!

I totally remember the day lucky drivers on NJ Route 3 found themselves in the wake of floating cash thanks to a malfunctioning armored Brinck’s truck! Route 3 is always a mess—right in the snakesnest of exchanges near NYC—my hubby used to have to drive it long ago. Those commuters deserved the tip!

These headlines are mostly interesting stories as opposed to goofball editorial errors, but this one gave me pause: “The Pope Just Married Two Flight Attendants at 30,000 ft.”

Feel-good story: two elderly gents missing from their nursing home turned out to be enjoying themselves at a heavy-metal concert.

From "The Guardian"
Elon Musk's lawyer asks cave explorer to apologize for insulting submarine

Let's see: Does the submarine insult people or do people insult it? Since when does an inanimate object give a damn? Roll Eyes

I love these headlines, and whenever I read them, I think of Proof. He used to post so many. I wonder where he got them all.
