The Off Topic Topic

Hillary's delivery just isn't good, though.  The only situation where she has been borderline funny was where some goofy comedian set her up to do a one-liner.

Saturday was the White House Correspondent's dinner; the time when the media celebrates what is truly important, themselves.  CNN ran no less than 8 stories on this crucial event; the article that struck me as the most amusing was:

Face it: You're gonna miss President Obama's comedy

Well, yes, Barack's joke writers did come up with some zingers, but couldn't Hil just hire the same joke writers?  Barack had a dozen joke writers work on the speech for him, surely 12 joke writers could make even Hil funny.

You can't write timing.  Obama has it, and it's very unlikely that Hillary does.

She has good timing on when to run for president though. Okay, a bit off on 2008, but she got it right in 2016.

At the gym I go to they have televisions on with the sound off.  There was an ad for Movantik on TV this morning:



While I don't know what they were saying I imagine it went:

Woman:  Oh giant talking pill, you're such a large part of my life
Opioid:  You're nice, toots, but you come with a lot of baggage

"I can't swallow a pill that size"

"That's okay, it's a suppository"

These strips ran in 1955.  It's like Charles Schultz foresaw internet debates 40 years before they came into existence:

  Whoever designed that bag was not a branding genius, I have to say.

[CountDeMoney]

"I can't swallow a pill that size"

"That's okay, it's a suppository"

"So how did that prescription work out for you?"
"Gee, doc...for all the good they did, I could've shoved them up my ass."

Nice one, Raz

And DG all it takes is for one empty-headed celebrity to be seen with a bag like that and it will sell like hotcakes.

You're just ripping off jokes from Futurama.

Choosing to run as an establishment candidate in an election where the establishment is widely hated? She got lucky with the GOP implosion.

From Pocket World in Figures (my current bathroom reading):

Highest robbery rate is Belgium (??!!).  1,737 per 100K people.  Closest is Argentina at 975.

Highest household debt is Denmark, at 310% of annual income. 

For comparison, US is 114%.

Devil in the detail?

Maybe Denmark includes mortgages in theirs and the US excludes??

I sincerely doubt the US gets to 114 excluding mortgages.
