- (1:40) SPECIAL COMMENT: Before he begins tonight’s State of the Union Address, President Biden should pull his aviators out of his pocket and slap them on, reach under the lectern and pull out a shredded Chinese balloon and drape it in front of himself, and reach under again and produce an AIM-9X Sidewinder Missile and rest it on his shoulder.
- It’s ridiculous hyperbole of course. But how much MORE ridiculous than Bush’s flight suit and Mission Accomplished speech? Democrats have no clue how stupid half the country (or more) really is, and how easily that half can be manipulated by stunts, theater, shiny objects, crotch bulges in flight suits, braggadocio, nonsense, outright lies, and other tactics Republicans mastered decades ago.
- How stupid are they? When Karine Jean-Pierre reminded reporters they’d been given “Tick Tocks” (journalistic jargon for minute-by-minute timelines), The Daily Caller and Fox News both jumped to the asinine conclusion that the secrets of the nation were being distributed on TIK-TOK. This is how dumb they are, and they are not getting less so. [In all fairness, when I did a Google search, it asked: Did you mean: "Karine Jean-Pierre" "tiktoks"]
- Bring a Sidewinder with you, Mr. President.
“We are in this nightmare [the Trump Presidency] because at some point we stopped punishing stupidity in this country. We will not fix this core problem by appeasing the cretins.” — Keith Olbermann

- (31:25) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Pandora, in Philadelphia, PA, and Outcast Rescue and Cuddly
- (31:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It’s basically the anniversary of the day the geniuses at MSNBC would’ve lost Maddow to CNN because Larry King offered her $250 and unbeknownst to me we weren’t paying her anything.
Well, that’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
