So off Elon goes, leaving Washington with a black eye, both figuratively and literally. He has, what, eleven offspring? Maybe he got the idea from listening to this Zeppelin track while stoned.
Rather than taking a hatchet to government agencies and staff in an attempt at reducing government fraud and waste, wouldn’t this “radical left idea” from AOC have served the purpose better?
Let’s do something to show our solidarity with the suffering people of Ukraine in their resistance to Vlad the Invader. The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine plays music of Shostakovich, from Russia’s Soviet era.

I first heard Monty Python’s very funny ‘Ethel the Frog’ in high school, on WBCN-FM, the station that broke the Pythons in America. The mockumentary told the story of the criminal Piranha Brothers.
What I didn’t know at the time was, the Piranha Brothers were based on the all-too-real Kray brothers of London. In Boston there was Whitey Bulger, and Cape Cod had Melvin Reine. They were violent and, in a word, crazy. Compared to the Krays, the notorious Whitey was a misunderstood businessman.
Tom Hardy, perhaps the finest actor of this or almost any generation, portrayed both of the insanely dangerous Kray twins in 2015’s Legend.
