The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. President Joe Biden – Sir, with respect, you are simply too old to be president anymore…After decades of government service, it is time for people you trust to tell you this and for the Democratic Party to insist on this so you can retire.
2. Donald Trump – Nothing has changed…Trump remains a blustering blatherskite, an incomparable idiot, the perfect candidate for a GOP that has completely lost its mind and a base – as ignorant as he is – that believes everything he says…Trump remains a lousy human being, hell-bent on bringing out the worst in himself, his supporters, and his country.
3. USA! USA! – The 3-hole staple…America has never had two worse choices for president…Two old men, one knocking on enfeeblement’s door, the other a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars…We deserve better than this but America cannot be bothered to demand better right now…Let’s hope we choose wisely.
4. Israel/Hamas War – Screw a truce, let’s keep the genocide rolling…Long after securing the military and tactical advantage – the purpose of war – Israel continues its wholesale slaughter of otherwise innocent civilians…SB 5 pollsters reportedly in negotiations with both sides to have more or less regular entry take over coveted spot as 3-hole staple.

In 1908 – Forbes Field in Pittsburgh opens, with the Chicago Cubs defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2.

In 1984 – Duran Duran is at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the second and final consecutive week with The Reflex.

It was the fifth of 14 Top 40 hits for the group, their fifth of eleven Top 10s, and their first of two #1s. The band took their name from the character Dr. Durand Durand in the movie Barbarella.
