“Celebrity attorney” is exactly the burn Dershowitz deserves. Nice.

Dersh made me steam before 9-11. He joined the, "So you think your family was dysfunctional!" sweepstakes with his book, "The Vanishing Jew." He hung his own son out to dry in that one. The kid had the gall to fall in love with shiksa. Not only did the ungrateful whelp break his father's heart; he's finishing Hitler's work by destroying the Jewish People!

The only worthwhile thing Dershowitz has done was make me appreciate how lucky I was with the parental lottery. I did plenty to piss them off. At no point in their lamentations about where they went wrong did either of them suggest pitching a book contract.

I used to admire Dersh and then 9/11 happened and he was all "Well, we might have to CONSIDER torture" and that did it for me. And we all know where that line of thought went.

Trump actually worried about impeachment and removal (even if he's unclear on how the latter works)? Please don't screw-up my day with visions of a better world that will never be.

We woke-up early to get the cat to a veterinary---nothing heart-breaking---and the noise on the radio was Biden's official entry into the race, which I consider tantamount to Trump's second inaugural band warming-up, so pardon my whinging at another reminder that we're stuck with the Krewe of Potus for another six years.

The White House follies cut deeper, with Drumpf the mad mob boss just that little bit more sinister, every week. Dudley's departure exuded terror. And I didn't think I'd ever say it but....poor Melania.

(Having trouble believing Trumpov would sit through "Twelve Angry Men" without dozing off during the opening credits but that's just me.)
