I Can Fast and Write. And, I Can Write Fast

Title: One is supposed to fast on Yom Kippur – that is, not eat anything from sundown Sunday (this year) to sundown Monday.

“You can thank me over a lunch” But not today.

“… Numb or Numb-er…” I can’t believe someone hasn’t already said this about Gore and Bradley, so I am not claiming credit for the pun.

“…executive privilege …” A concept that the President must have the freedom to have open discussions with his staff before coming to decisions on difficult situations. These discussions are not subject to subpoena by either of the other two branches of government – the Judiciary or the Legislature. Clinton has claimed this – and invented other – privileges a remarkable number of times during his two terms.

“Henry G. Cisneros …” WAS the Secretary of HUD, and WAS the Mayor of San Antonio and DID have a mistress who DID go to jail in her attempts to aid Cisneros in covering up the fact he had lied to the FBI about how much money he had paid her over the years.

“… straight-to-in-flight…” Some movies are so bad they are never sent to theaters they go directly to Blockbuster. These are called “straight-to-video” movies. This one should have gone “straight-to-in-flight.”

AP headline humor is always true. I never make them up. I don’t have to!
