One of the reasons I enjoy the late night talk show hosts is because they somehow find a way to make me laugh while delivering awful news. Last night I watched this bit from Seth Meyers. The first ONE MINUTE is just a round-up of news headlines in the last couple days. It’s so bad I laughed.
Seth says in response to a scandal in which vodka was accidentally added to energy drinks, is that we should embrace the mistake. “The two things I need living in these trying times are energy and to be a little bit drunk.”
I hope you are finding a way to laugh.

Sadly, I have to laugh to keep from crying!
So true, Carol. ❤
Did you see that he is doing away with the unions at VA?
ugh
It’s all too much to handle so I’m sleeping most of the day. Just can’t deal with the insanity of it all.
I’ve had times in my life when that’s how I got through the days, too. Either sleeping or reading are in my survival toolkit. I wish things weren’t so awful and isolating for you. I’m glad you can visit WP now and then, and find your tribe. ❤
He does well – but it isn’t really funny
Well put
And yesterday we read that an “official” government website has eliminated key parts of the constitution. SMDH. Where does it end?
I had to look that one up, since I hadn’t heard it. The Library of Congress website has not been displaying a couple of sections of the constitution since July apparently. They said it was a coding glitch and they plan to fix it right away. People are suspicious because the missing parts are the same parts that Dump has been arguing should not be law, like unlawful detention and receiving gifts from foreign leaders.
It’s simply a page displaying text, so for certain sections to go missing does seem highly suspect. If no one was paying attention to it, things would just remain the same. Someone would literally have to get into the code for that specific web page, to make the text go away. Do they think people can’t find the constitution anywhere else? Whoof – everyone running our country is so dumb these days.
Incredibly, we live in a wikipedia world. They never wanted access to eliminate waste, they have always been after control. Years ago I started looking for a good set of encyclopedias. Even then I knew the battle would be for control of the “message”. This is a disastrous FUBAR.
The encyclopedias are a good idea. Can’t press “delete” on those.
Succeeded in making me laugh, Crystal. As bad as it was. Sometimes that’s all we have left. And it beats the heck out of crying. Not sure it beats the choice R-rated words I save for the presidents daily activities. Unfortunately, I’m running out.
I like that you save special words for President Dump. That reminds me of the old comic book character Hot Stuff that came in Caspar the Friendly Ghost comic books. He had an uncle that traveled to different planets, collecting curse words. As a kid, I thought that was hilarious. The great thing was, he would tell the kids his new words, and since it was from a different planet, no one understood. I think the orange guy deserves all of Hot Stuff’s uncle’s curse words.
On huge signs facing the White House? Grin.
One can dream….
Celsius Astro Vibe? Can’t trust that. Real Americans only know Fahrenheit. Celsius is European Woke…
ha ha ha!!
(Joke of course) (Like Derrick said, it’s not funny…)
I know exactly what you mean. Funny, but not funny at all.
I’ve had ideas in my mind about a post on dictators… I just wish I didn’t get the idea…
