Your posts are the only bright spot in this nightmare. Your particular genius is being able to shrink-wrap insults into pithy takedowns on your way to making a larger point about whatever mess this Axis of Narcissism (as you call them, brilliantly) has created on any given day. My favorites in this post are "an editorial that sounded like it was ghostwritten by Liz Cheney after three bourbons," and "unveiling new tariffs with all the strategic foresight of trying to build IKEA furniture with major head trauma and no instructions." I feel I'm taking a master class in poetic disparagement.

Thx Frances! I may screenshot & post this :). You get me. I try to use humor--sometimes scathing--to make a broader point. It gets ppl's attention. Also, creative insulting is a fun hobby! Btw, what you said means a lot. If you really like what I do, and you're not, become a paid subscriber! I write a longer column for the paid subs. I'll increase that to 2 soon. So if ya can swing it/haven't, join us on the paid side! Either way, again, thank you!
