I mean, it's not like the guy doesn't deserve it. You know? He's rich and all but that isn't everything. And look at that hair. He's probably totally bald under that mess on his head. Who knows? It's totally possible.

then yes, he is a satirical god of our time. I started reading him when I was in my early 20's and I'm 67 now! He's always been spot on! He's married to Jane Pauley, btw, and I've always liked her because of that fact (trivia, sorry).

Some of his story lines are unforgettable. Mark Slackmeyer on the Watergate Hearings, raving: "Guilty, guilty, guilty!" Boopsie on learning the consequences of US bombing of Vietnamese villages included killing their farm animals, "Baby duckies!" Joanie, falling in love with her fellow law-student Andy, and being gently told he is gay, ruefully: "I myself am often cheerful."

I know the man needs a break every so often, but this election season cries out for his keen eye. I'm so glad he is at least writing Sundays.

Trump is suffering a most extreme case of narcissism and should be studied for a possible future cure.
