Well. I’m not a “hot” person, but then NONE of the stuff that lady got for free has any appeal to me whatsoever, so I’m good.

“Yeah, the Epstein files won’t go away. Trump is so stressed, he’s like, ‘I need a vacation. What was the name of that fun island I used to go to?’” — JIMMY FALLON

“President Trump said yesterday that he would rather talk about the success of his administration than the Jeffrey Epstein files. Yeah, I’m sure you would. That’s like Diddy saying he’d rather talk about his V.M.A.s — you don’t get to pick.” — SETH MEYERS

“I swear, we’re like a day away from Trump claiming Jeffrey Epstein was never even a real person.” — SETH MEYERS

yeah, well, I don't think those in prison for murder should have tv privileges...

& I've never been one to idolize jewelry, so I think it's pretty neat that people don't have to go into debt picking out the 'perfect' ring for an engagement. Then when she flashes it people don't have to 'ooo' & 'ahhhh' & get jealous.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Calvin & Hobbes!!! As did my 3 sons!! Gruesome snowmen? Nahhh - funny!!!!

Calvin & Hobbes was so insanely funny. Too bad our highbrow, wannabe elitists on this chat can't appreciate the wit. The only thing noted in the article that is similar is the word, precocious. Both C&H and our guy are certainly that.

Oh, btw, 3-1....

“ Calvin & Hobbes was so insanely funny.” I agree with that.

We named our cat Hobbes and our bird Calvin. We taught our daughter to read using his books and own two signed copies.

Bill is a registered democrat, so that makes him one of the “… highbrow, wannabe elitists…” you disdain. I trust you can appreciate the irony…

Not all Dems — just the ones who try so hard to seem smarter than everyone else. You know, people like you…

When you’ve got nothing

you start insulting. The thing about insulting is it is only effective if you care about the insulter’s opinion. That would be you.

If saying those things make you feel better inside I say go for it. It’s cheaper than meds.

I hope you have a day as nice as you are.

If you really love someone, the price of the ring doesn’t matter. A $25 cubic zirconia ring can have just as much meaning as a $25,000 diamond. It’s the thought behind that is most important.

And will Jeffrey Epstein just go away? I have no doubt Trump knew him, was probably at some of his parties, and if he would stop “lying and denying” the whole thing probably would just die. The more he protests, the more that is going to keep coming up.

I still go to the comics first, even without Calvin and Hobbes, although I was always more a Garfield lover.

I appreciate your Friday newsletter Bill. It’s nice having the guest links work(usually). Have a great weekend.

Donald Trump is a xenophobe. And yes, I know the Trump supporters will say he's cleaning up a broken immigration system. But, the simple fact is he is deporting Americans because of the color of their skin or the sound of their surname.

I read Calvin & Hobbes every morning and have for years. Hobbes is the voice of rational thought in a world gone mad.
