Will there be a more amusing headline in today’s news than this from nypost.com: “Edward Norton discovers ancestors owned slaves: He’s ‘uncomfortable’ about it.” I prescribe sleeping on his money. Photo from GI:

Maybe this headline is more amusing, from foxnews.com: “Blue state gov who told Republicans to ‘get out’ flamed on Twitter for asking people to stop ‘leaving’ New York.” Stop robbing people! Incarcerate felons!

The USA is not alone, FN headline: “Germany records highest annual inflation rate in over 70 years.” 7.9 in ‘22.

I find the Republican deadlock over Kevin McCarthy’s appointment as House speaker amusing and sad at once. What does it matter who leads when many Republicans are RINOs? Let’s see if conservative pundits blame this too on Trump.

I saw this ad today, photo from GI:

It’s $259 a year. At this stage of my life, I will devote whatever time I have left to promoting my books, but this may be a good option for people who have time to build a brand, get one’s name out there. The organization has a high rating from the BBB.

As for Republican congressman-elect George Santos and his lies about everything, he fits right in. He is likely to be ousted in two years, which leaves him little time to steal as much as he can. Get crackin’. I advise he follow Quid Pro Joe’s lead. Photo from GI:

The floating book shop was rained out today. Since it isn’t snow and the temperature is in the 50's, no complaints.
