Almost like a miracle, the FDA has approved a promising Alzheimer’s drug just as President Biden is fighting off accusations that his debate performance is evidence that he is suffering from dementia. Hey! There’s a pill for that!
Take the Big Pill

Actually, coincidences do occur. There have been, roughly, at least a dozen “promising” “game-changer” Alzheimer’s drugs that failed to pan out. 99% of trials end in failure. Last week, you had a column about how Parkinson’s explained some of Biden’s behaviors. Maybe he has both.
And speaking of coincidences, how about that fake assassination attempt? The so-called “assassin” Thomas Matthew Crooks? He appeared in a BlackRock ad briefly about four years ago for teacher pensions (just one of BlackRock’s many good deeds). I mean, do I have to draw a picture? Crooks is a crisis actor. When Trump dropped to the ground, he quickly grabbed a razor blade and cut himself, a trick he learned from his days associating with the professional wrestling crowd. The whole thing was staged.
Actually, yes. Please draw a picture
I was being sarcastic. The Republicans took the crackpot theory that Sandy Hook was all staged and ran with the damned thing. The “dead kids”? Child actors. I say do the same with Trump’s “supposed” assassination attempt. Come up with a completely insane argument and then DEMAND it be discussed ad nauseam on talk radio for the rest of time. Do this with every single Republican talking point. Just go full-bore conspiracy nut. … Damn! I’ve gotta go. I have to make sure the nutrients are dumped into the tank under Walter Reed where they’ve got Lincoln’s brain. He just finished dictating the Second Gettysburg Address, and, wow, you’ve never read a better melting of sex and Civil War battlefield conflict in your life. I can’t wait for JFK to finish his translation of Linear A.
I was not being sarcastic. Look, if it’s helpful, start with the diorama of pictures taped to the basement wall with strings lined between them. Then send it all to the firefighters family. Or do whatever I don’t actually care
Oh! I see! You were doing some performative thing no one asked for. You know, it’s just so hard to tell with the regular readers here. Scratch that request then

Ted,
Maybe you should make moderation a thing on the site.
