Sorry, but you CAN'T have Bobo's job!

You're too smart, and not enough of a sociopath.

The NY Times is always trying to prove that it's not the "liberal" NY Times anymore.
They should stop.
They proved that way back in the '80's!

Brooks is so endearingly cute.


thing is he has the "squirrel" syndrome. When it comes to focusing on a pertinent issue.

It is as sorry as a FOX host telling a democratic guest that pointing blame (Telling the truth) does not unite us and it is hurtful of Trump;s feelings.

Not sure where she was on these two unifying statements;

Anointed CzAR VP Pence COVID-19; There is 'Irresponsible Rhetoric' From People Downplaying Coronavirus

While on the other side

The day after Pence made his statement on rhetoric. Trump stated, the “fake news media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything to inflame the coronavirus situation.”
What about the feeeling of the Democrats? How is that unifying?

Nowm can we all agree to bail out wall street before they come to repossess our homes .

Time delayed comment

Can't wait for Brooks to contract the Covid-19 and write to us everyday all about it and how blessed he is by Trump for not able to get the test or in the hospital for the ventilator he desperately needs.

This will make for good type. For the NYT column space they give him.
