This week on the show...
On Day 264, I began a week of dunking on commenters, starting with one who takes issue with my frequent talk of diplomacy when it comes to how we tolerate one another by bringing up Hillary Clinton’s use of the word “deplorable.” Of course, the irony here is the commenter’s username, which you should stay tuned to enjoy. I will continue to believe that nine out of ten commenters are either bots or paid operatives because it is too depressing to think otherwise.
On Day 265, I keep it rolling by responding to a commenter named after the candy Rolo, or at least that’s what I decide when comparing this commenter’s comment to this dud-like candy that is kind of like an elevated Milk Dud. You can probably tell that I have a good time saying the word “dud.” It’s a fun one. I also work in mentions of Snickers and 3 Musketeers. Leave a comment letting me know what your favorite candy bar is.
On Day 266, my streak of responding to commenters continues with one who may or may not be one of the children of underground folk singer Bob Dylan who, like his possible father, is ahead of his time with insightful observations stated with indelible words, when he says, “If u truly ignored the Trump administration, u wouldn’t bring IN UP a TikTok video.” Yes, he said it just like that, and I do not mess with a poet’s words.
On Day 267, I continue having fun responding to commenters, when one named HoldMyBeerNow! – the emphasis on “Now!” is just how I heard it – complains that I have not acknowledged the ceasefire in the Middle East, which, at the moment I am writing this, has now been violated. Regardless, I suggest to HoldMeBeerNow that we meet to discuss and find peace in our own Middle East, which actually exists in Massachusetts. Stay tuned to find out what the hell I’m talking about.
On Day 268, I am forced to address a commenter who reminds me of banana pudding after this commenter calls me “pudding” as some kind of put-down while attempting to do the bidding of the man who commanded this pudding person to comment in the first place. That man is the leader of the Trump administration, also known as the current TIME magazine cover boy, which many are saying is the most unflattering photo ever taken. I have a feeling this commenter would disagree.
On Day 269, I remind that just because you’re ignoring the leader of the Trump administration and the Trump administration, that doesn’t mean you’re completely ignoring the Vice Leader of the Trump administration who referred to a group of radical right wing 30-somethings as “kids” when failing to condemn a leaked group chat where these 30-year-old political operatives proved that Hillary Clinton was onto something with her use of the word “deplorables.”
On Day 270, I remind you to get vaccinated, as I feel self-righteous about having gotten mine. Boosters, actually. COVID and Flu, and I managed to do it even though the latest disgraced member of the Kennedy family had his eye on keeping me from doing it. You know the current health dude used to be a junkie like Lou Reed, right? Just not as cool as Lou Reed. In fact, about 18% as cool.

More about Josh:
I published my first newsletter before the age of ten, written using my next-door neighbor’s typewriter, copied with carbon paper, and distributed to mailboxes on my bicycle.
One of my first stories was the obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten year old? Yes!
My writing today is governed by deadpan sarcasm
