&lt;i&gt;In the lifetime of a thousand suns (and for the Epsteinth time)... &lt;/i&gt;

I see what you did there, and it&#039;s perfect. 

&lt;i&gt;...this Trump Could Join With Progressive Democrats To Take On Big Banks is a nothingburger that will never happen. Give sundowning grandpa some pudding and put him to bed. &lt;/i&gt;

&quot;We are ending the war on saturated fats&quot; too so make sure it&#039;s a good old fashioned home made marbled steak and kidney pudding (also referred to as pie) or at the very least a figgy pudding made with heavy cream topped with a slow-churned Minerva Dairy butter sauce. 

You simply cannot go wrong with a meat pudding/pie. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;it may be playoff football, but Steelers Texans is a slog. &lt;/i&gt;

Wasn&#039;t it, though... until that 4th quarter... womp, womp. 

This little parody goes out to Aaron Rodgers and sung to the tune from &lt;i&gt;Mister Rogers&#039; Neighborhood&lt;/i&gt;:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It&#039;s a beautiful day in your neighborhood
A beautiful day for my neighbors
You will be mine.
Watch your goal line. 

So, let&#039;s make the most of the beautiful play
Since we&#039;re together, we&#039;d all like to say
We&#039;ll knock you supine. Retire and recline.
You&#039;re unproductive labor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heh. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; &quot;Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;










Yeah, but a running clock is by no means right twice a day — or even twice a millennium. Seems that the human as stopped clock analogy only works if the human is stopped (read: dead).</description>

&lt;i&gt;You might say Trump has redefined what Teddy Roosevelt called the &quot;bully pulpit&quot; of the presidency (with a more-modern usage of the word &quot;bully&quot;). &lt;/i&gt;

Teddy Roosevelt made a third-party run under the &quot;Bull Moose Party,&quot; officially, of course, the &quot;Progressive Party,&quot; but since Trump&#039;s brand of so-called populism doesn&#039;t resemble Teddy&#039;s brand at all, the term &quot;bullshit pulpit&quot; is much more fitting for him.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Take your choice: &quot;Even a blind pig can sometimes find an acorn,&quot; or: &quot;Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Heh. Reminds me of &quot;Dandy&quot; Don Meredith on Monday Night Football... which reminds me, it&#039;s Monday night and I should be watching playoff football.

&lt;i&gt;This could be a very potent issue indeed. The blind pig found an especially-tasty acorn, to put it metaphorically.&lt;/i&gt; 

Trump cited &quot;affordability concerns&quot; for Americans, which apparently in his wee small brain would presumably ease in exactly 12 months, after which his unilaterally imposed one-year ordered proclamation would henceforth revert immediately back to those exorbitant rates at which he stated Americans are being &quot;ripped off&quot; (quoting Trump). So Trump is apparently not averse to Americans being &quot;ripped off&quot; after the completion of a unilaterally imposed little one-year break. 

On another note, weren&#039;t we all assured by Donny Two Dolls and/or Five Pencils that &quot;affordability&quot; was a &quot;hoax&quot;? Rhetorical question. 

So the totality of what is most likely to be accomplished by Hair Dick Tater regarding his &quot;concern&quot; regarding said issue and the unilateral lowering of credit card interest rates to 10% for a duration of only one year is to prove without a scintilla of doubt that &quot;affordability&quot; isn&#039;t quite the &quot;hoax&quot; that he&#039;s repeatedly claimed it is.

Just saying. :)</description>
