Less than two months since his inauguration, it’s obvious: Donald Trump likes being president, but he is less than fond of doing president. The title is great. But the work? Who knew?

The NIC was wandering around the White House in his bathrobe when the phone rang. A voice on the other end that sounded remarkably like Steve Bannon channeling the NIC’s deceased mother suggested that to occupy his time he should play his favorite game — Solitaire.

I apologize humbly to chimpanzees for even considering, as I did recently, comparing them to the current occupant of the Oval Office. Chimps can display focus and discipline. They can show empathy and exhibit self-restraint. … I’m sorry.

I’m going to a wake tomorrow. Not a wake for a person. A wake for what most people would call an office. Those of us who worked there called it “the bureau.” It was a place where news was discovered, reported and written about. … A news obit from 2016

What do great shooters do when they are in a shooting funk, when everything seems to clang off the back rim? They keep shooting. They don’t pass the ball to someone else. They shoot themselves out of the funk. Also, I think Putin is playing his puppet for the fool he knows him to be.

I wish I could say I’m sorry to see Hillary go, but I’m not. Worst campaigner ever. She should’ve gone to Standing Rock. She should have fired Debbie Wasserman. If I were a millennial, my intent and awareness would be totally focused on Elizabeth Warren in 2020.
