But he did say something like, “after I sold my restaurants to a corporation, the chicken tastes like shit”.
As observed by that legendary grammarian Dave Barry.


I wonder if there are some people on the American right who actually see it as a kind of Darwinian cleansing of their society.
They want to get rid of the week, the elderly, and the stupid, and this is a way for those people to self-select for extermination.
Of course there will be some collateral damage, but those who know better can protect themselves. You think that Trump and those around him don’t have every vaccination that you’ve ever heard of, and probably some that you haven’t?


The former president of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) had a Concorde-capable airport built at his home village, so that his wife could charter it to go shopping in Europe.
The CIA assassinated his predecessor and put him in power so that he would do their bidding and that of the American mining companies. It’s estimated that he was worth around $6 billion, $30-40 billion in today’s money.

We used to laugh about the killer bees, John Belushi’s Samurai, the coneheads, Dan Aykroyd saying, “Jane you ignorant slut!” on every Weekend Update, but when I look at them now, I’m not sure if the humor was there or just going along with the peer pressure.

I’m a Canadian, and I was married to a Japanese woman. She was on the family registry, and our children were, but I was a comment. Way to show a commitment to treating all people equally, Japan!
