It makes sense for Lander to run for Nadler's spot, but it's too early to crown him the favorite. You still have to like the chances of Danler, Andrel, or Endral. (Hot take: Reland belongs in the conversation too.)

Just learned that the "high heels and backwards" line about Ginger Rogers came from a Frank and Ernest comic, and I thought "Yeah, I can hear that in their voice." I think I need hypnotherapy to truly understand how much time I spent reading comic strips as a kid.

Please do your best to avoid spreading "fake news", like the rumor that his diarrhea was acidic like a xenomorph's blood and ate clean through the floor in the Oval Office bathroom. That is *not* true. It ate through the marble tiles, but NOT the floorboards. ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT.

Remember kids: a marijuana possession charge from 20 years ago can get a poor person deported to a country they’ve never been to. But recording a sex worker you hired to seduce your brother-in-law and sending the tape to your sister for revenge gets you a full pardon and ambassadorship to France.

Caleb Durbin had like 12 extra-base hits in eight at-bats against the Giants over the weekend, and they sent up Jake Bauers to pinch-hit for him against a right-hander in a high-leverage situation. This is horseshoe theory, but for Mr. Burns and Moneyball.
