Your Titular Blogger

Here’s something I meant to do when the SNL skit was new. (Is it “skit” in America, and “sketch” in England?) I squirmed watching this, because of the effort that goes into thinking up punny titles for blog posts.

60 Minutes Minus 13

This is the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss, the new Trump-loving CBS News editor, pulled. Click/tap once to cue it up, then click again to play.
