I’m out of the hospital and at home. I don’t have the oomph, jazz, or pizzaz to write about the experience today but something else snuck up on me
“Former President Donald Trump on Saturday launched a sneaker line, a day after he and his companies were ordered by a judge to pay nearly $355 million in his New York civil fraud trial.
The former president unveiled “Trump Sneakers” at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia. He placed a pair of gold sneakers, which a new website has listed for $399 and named the “NEVER SURRENDER HIGH-TOP SNEAKER,” on the podium as he spoke.’
How is this presidential? I remember when Ronald Reagan was mocked for doing commercials *before* his presidency. Oy, just oy.
The bad sneaker sold out but the Indicted Impeached Insult Comedian was booed. It’s what they do in Philly.
The last word goes to Steely Dan:
Trivia stumper: What ties these three songs together:
Bad Sneakers by Steely Dan
Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon
Escape by Rupert Holmes
Well the sneakers are bad, Escape is about cheating, but his hair is not definitely not perfect, so I’ve got nothing
At first I thought it could be Michael McDonald or Waddy Wachtel. Instead, I’m thinking pina colada, which I could not possibly drink right now.
Pina coladas is correct!
I also remember how very very unpresidenting it was for Bill Clinton to play the sax on Arsenio. Not sure if that was because of the sax or playing the sax on a black dude’s late night show.
“You must be joking , son / Where did you get those shoes?”
