Every day this month so far has brought a present.  Today's is that Kaleigh McEnaney also has the Covid.  Yesterday was Trump's "body man" getting it.  That's like one of those minor Chanukah presents, like a kalaidoscope, you get in the middle of the holiday, because they can't all be Hot Wheels Super Loop-de-Loop Racing sets ( Read more... )
