My vote was also C. Doyle: Trump has promised so much to his billionaire campaign donors, he’ll be making the gravy trains run on time. (Chris Doyle, Denton, Tex.)
Rita Zeidner: I took my Honda in to the local dealership and the mechanic asked me to move it from the line into the service bay because he didn't know how to drive a stick.
I had one that I was going to submit, but A) I had come up with it quite a bit earlier and B) I wasn't sure it would be understandable outside NYC: "The audiences at the 92nd Street Y are so old, they remember when it was the 92nd Street A."
For folks who are in that "But what can I DO?!" space, feeling helpless about the trajectory of democracy, I recommend the book 'Democracy in Retrograde" that came out this year. It's aimed at younger folk, I feel, but it still offers concrete suggestions and a nice dose of "We can do this!" Also, Garret Bucks' substack "the White Pages" offers earnest, very well written advice on community building and organizing.
I didn't vote in the music poll because I can't imagine going to any concert other than a symphony concert (mostly classical music and mostly old), but I did note that there were two options for 100% new. :)
Folks, if you are able and willing to give some money to a news organization other than that owned by Mr. Bozos, Pro Publica has a contribution matching offer today, dollar for dollar, up to $25K. However, unlike your local NPR station, you won't get a tote bag.
Numerous people are having trouble with this, and I'm mystified because access to it is set to "Anyone with the link." I've added a note above to please just request access and I'll give it to you. FML.
My vote for Best Joke this week has to be:
McConnell and Schumer are so old, their pissing contests are now dribbling contests. (Chris Doyle)
Chris's other gem about Susan Collins made me laugh just as hard. Great week, Chris!
My vote was also C. Doyle: Trump has promised so much to his billionaire campaign donors, he’ll be making the gravy trains run on time. (Chris Doyle, Denton, Tex.)
As they say Down East, that's a wicked pissah!
Nope! Schumer and I are about the same age. McConnel is way older ;-)
We don't care, Grandpa. :-)
At 74, he's well past age 50, when many prostate issues begin.
It's so good.

Re: shutting of backup cameras: "I bet it's in the manual" would be a biting retort to the service folks.
James Taylor introduces his new songs thusly: This is a new song, but it sounds just like the old songs, so don't worry.
A timely so-and-so (any way you look at it) is that Dick Cheney is so concerned about retribution, he invited Trump to go hunting with him.

This was a funny week from the writers lot of creativity. The joke format is one where these couid be in a Kimmel or Fallon monologue.

I think the Pist is more investment-worthy. Kinda like sponge-worthy.
I just tried opening the Week 103 submission form but was denied access and told I had to request it. What's the glitch?
Can you try it again? I think I fixed it.
Thanks, Pat. It works now.

I wanted to vote for
“3/4 new stuff, 1/4 old” but it was not offered as a choice because of a copy/paste/change error.
It was actually brain error, but I couldn't change it onaconna it would have wiped out all previous votes.
