Hey, if omicron doesn’t take a holiday, neither should snark.

How did Jacksonsville Jaguars (2-12) at NY Jets (3-11) end up on Sunday and not Saturday? If ever a game was destined to be a perfect Christmas turkey?

Dear Drew Brees. Understand you’re enjoying Christmas w/ family in Hawaii. And realistically you can’t get back into game shape in a weekend. But maybe if New Orleants Saints sent private jet for you to be sideline coach & cheerleader for Ian Book on MNF against Dolphins? #WhoDat

Dear Santa: For Republicans trying to follow Velveeta Voldemort in belatedly pivoting to support vaccines to your now anti-science base…is it too late to add to your sleigh baggage several thousands of copies of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein?”

–

WTAF media? This is an actual headline – “Millions stranded as airlines cut hundreds of holiday flights.” Millions?!! (those would be serious jumbo jets.)

–

Why do so many people think Joe Manchin will switch to being a Republican? As one of Mitch McConnnell’s foot soldiers he’d be almost irrelevant. As a conservative Democrat he’s a powerful media darling.

–

Herschel Walker likely GOP GA Senate nominee. His wife of 19 years’ divorce filing accused him of “physically abusive & extremely threatening behavior.” Later said Walker pointed pistol at her head “I’m going to blow your f’ing brains out.” How long until he gets OJ’s endorsement?

–

If White House documents proved that Velveeta Voldemort was innocent of organizing & abetting January 6 coup attempt, instead of asking SCOTUS to keep them private, he’d be having Hannity and Carlson read those documents out loud every night on Fox News.

–

Wasn’t on either Rittenhouse or Potter jury. From what I saw would have voted to convict them both, though feel much more sympathy for Potter. But wonder….do juries take tears on the stand more seriously from a man than a woman?

–

I’ve said this before. Whatever you think about Kim Potter verdict – Daunte Wright died because a trained “good woman with a gun” used a gun instead of a Taser. And some want armed amateurs to protect children in our schools?

–

Gym Jordan says he has “real concerns” about the January 6 committee. Shame he didn’t have “real concerns” about college wrestlers being sexually abused at Ohio State.

–

Dear privileged people who don’t think voting rights matter: Imagine waiting in line to vote on a regular basis as long as you are waiting in line to buy COVID tests this week.

–

And imagine every time that Senators wanted to vote on the Senate floor they had to wait in line outside the Capitol, for hours, with no food or water….
