President Trump announces his latest cure for coronavirus:

“Let’s shake in a dollop of tickles, an ounce of regret, and a single shooting star, then stir counterclockwise for two shakes of a lamb’s tail and we’re almost there,” said Trump, clapping his hands with glee as he began pedaling a bicycle connected to a bellows in order to fan the flame below the vials.”

The President now claims that his bleach-injection cure was “sarcasm.” I’m pretty sure that: (1) he was totally serious, since he repeated the suggestions after he walked them back; (2) he undoubtedly has no idea how to define the word “sarcasm.”

But assuming he was really being sarcastic, a different thread on this blog had some good observations on that:

Throughout history, the one distinguishing trait of the great leaders is sarcasm in the face of human suffering.

Very true. Very few people realize how sarcastic Lincoln’s delivery of the Gettysburg Address was. And radio allowed FDR to roll his eyes all the time during his fireside chats!

Mickey claimed to lead the league in the category of in-game blow jobs

Mickey also holds the record for most times vomiting on Angie Dickinson – actually he’s tied for the lead with the great Cap Anson.

I made up the Anson part. Angie isn’t that old. (Anson is a 19th century player). But the Mantle story is true, or so he claimed.

Mickey also carried with him a cute little Hallmark-style card that said “wanna fuck”

Elizabeth Debicki’s nude scene in The Night Manager (2016, episode 3) is lovely, as is she, but they could have zoomed in a bit more, or moved the camera a little closer.
