Drawing straws

I wonder if European leaders are drawing straws over who has to come to DC next? They’re all gathered on a Zoom call and their assistants are holding straws and then each draws…….waiting waiting.  SH$$! Well, Starmer you’re up now buddy. TOM was oranger than ever it seemed today. Dude. Ease off on the tanning bed and spraying. “Starmer’s visit came after French President Emmanuel Macron was in Washington earlier this week to make a similar case to Trump, and a day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to visit the White House. The British leader leaned into the idea that Trump was the glue to maintaining the peace in Ukraine should the three-year war end.”

I nearly forgot that Hollywood’s circus has continued spin over the past 38 days but has been drastically overshadowed. “Katy Perry and Gayle King are headed to space with Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez and three other women. Bezos’ rocket company Blue Origin announced the all-female celebrity crew on Thursday.” Cool, yes. All women. All celebrities. But really? This is just going to be one big makeup commercial isn’t it? I can only hope not. Maybe this is a launch pad (pun intended) for women in STEM! That I can get behind. Makeup and all.

Not a slow news day by any means. But a slow news snark on my part……tomorrow I’ll have more coffee and ramp ‘er back up on National Economic Blackout Day.  Will it make a difference?
