Limping into the weak-end…

April 27, 2024

Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery thinks goaltender Jeremy Swayman’s dominance against the Toronto Maple Leafs has gotten in Toronto’s heads.

How about the fact that every year Toronto finds some way to lose in the Stanley Cup playoffs is in the Maple Leafs’ heads?

Ouch. Three of ESPN top headlines this morning:

-D-backs ace Gallen exits in 6th with tight hammy

Brewers lose LHP Miley to Tommy John surgery

Marlins LHP Luzardo scratched with elbow issue

Is Jamie Moyer still around and interested in a comeback?

Julie Andrews is staying active at 88 and still writing books with daughter Emma Walton Hamilton They just finished their 35th together.

Hope Joe Biden invites her to his 2nd inaugural.

GOP apparently sent a letter to the Secret Service as they want protesters kept further away from the venue for July’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. “Further away?” Preferably in Madison?

President Biden talking about his opponent “I’m a grown man running against a 6-year-old.” This could be considered insulting. To parents of 6-year-olds.

If President Biden started attacking the media regularly would they give him more positive coverage?

Forget a New York Times interview. Who else wants to see President Joe Biden aka Dark Brandon show up for the cold open or Weekend Update on SNL Saturday Night Live?

All your need to know about today’s GOP “Barr, who said Trump shouldn’t be near Oval Office, says he will vote for him in 2024” Profiles in cowardice.

Wrap your head around this one. And this doesn’t even count people too powerful to charge like Ginni Thomas & her SCOTUS husband. “Fifty-three people who tried to keep former President Donald J. Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election have now been criminally charged.”

I know MAGA Trump world doesn’t want much history taught in schools. But remember it being a pretty basic tenet that America fought the revolutionary war and declared independence because we DIDN’T want a dictator king.

After Republicans deified Kyle Rittenhouse for fatally shooting two protesters he didn’t agree with, who knew they’d draw a line at one of their women leaders killing a dog?


I’m so old I can remember the worst thing a GOP politician could do to their dog was strap it to the roof of the family car.


Midwest update: Amy Klobuchar joining Gretchen Whitmer in showing us how real leaders and decent people treat dogs.
