stuff to talk about for sure. But I wish more attention had been paid. this Pic of the Moment is just so wonderful to me.

I guess this just can't be satirized. It is satire itself.

So it looked like a totally different show.

I really don't care, tho. I was just curious as to how they would handle the "airports" reference.

Was the USS John S. McCain involved in the Battle of Teabagging Boston Harbor?

Did they have to cover the name?

35. Off the air.

Teleprompter off the air.

Brain off the air.

Mouth continues on.

A smart man would think either source of intelligence is essential, and mark time until one came back on the air. But Trump just waddles on. His words are bigly, after all. Stable genius, etc.

No one will notice . . . right?

But thanks for rewriting history. Giggle time!

I can visualise the aerial battle between the American Zeppelins and the British drones, but 'ramming the ramparts' has me searching for a suitable mental visual description. Can anyone help there?
