If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

At the very least, the rest of us need to become intimately familiar with making these people feel like absolute dreck.

Anyone who attends the WHCD deserves nothing less than absolute ridicule; mockery of their work; metaphorical pitchforks, tar and feathers; a lifetime of utter and complete shame.

Two pictures I never asked for but are now stuck in my head.

Here's part 2 of my note to colleagues this morning. There is a part 3, but I'm already moving on. A lot to do.

Part of a note I sent my colleagues earlier this morning. Things can change, but I'm buying the dip.

Yep.

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square

AOC: “The mistake that I made, you know, from all the movies that we see growing up about heroes & villains — is that I thought that fascist takeover attempts were going to be architected by evil geniuses — I was not expecting how unearned, nepotistic, mediocre, & just dumb the architects would be”

That in a nutshell.

A few years ago, I finally decided to be honest with myself: I just don't like IPAs much. So I quit trying. Just give me a nice clean light pilsner, a day beer, a post-mowing-the-lawn beer, a hydrating beer, an adjacent-to-water beer. I am what I am.

The banks are scared.

Banks bet on peace and stable economies.

They are scared of credit defaults. Trade finance collapsing. The global credit system seizing up.

Jim hedged his bet by painting a locomotive for him, though.

According to a rumor I just started, Lauren Boebert is quitting Congress to spend more time with her son's parole officer.
