Penny Nickels: Buried in the narrative was my favorite on all counts:

"Aftab Pureval, a Democrat who is half-Indian and half-Tibetan, won a second term as mayor of Cincinnati, beating out JD Vance’s brother, White evangelical pastor Cory Bowman."

THAT alone would have been worth a headline and a whole column.

JD Vance -- "the (Haitian immigrants) steal your pets and eat the little kitties and puppies in blood Voodoo rituals" -- is the most repugnant of the bunch. I actually fall ill when I spy JD Vance.

How could Princeton and then Yale Law produce Vance?

Or, for that matter, Princeton and Harvard Law produce Ted Cruz?

Boy, the Ivy League ain't what it used to be when every generation of the Boston Brahmin Saltonstall family since circa 1657 graduated from Harvard. No Vances or Cruz's among these Brahmins. Armando is old enough to remember and admire Senator Leverett Saltonstall.

Saltonstall and Nelson Rockefeller: Good, liberal. I could be a Republican in days when the Party was diverse and included liberals such as Saltonstall, Rockefeller and, let's not forget, Jacob Javits.

LOVE YOUR PICTURES.

Victor Orbàn successfully impersonates Ozzy Osbourne in his pairing with Vladimir Putin.

Penny Nickels, PLEASE keep us informed . . . and DELICIOUSLY entertained.

The great Gatsby party the night before funded ended for SNAP tap danced on my last working nerve. We need to be blunt and shout it from the rooftops. That song was perfect ending to this gem! 😍
