jls4561's JournalAnother question I would like to hear ask tonight:
“Can you name the date of infrastructure week during your administration and what it accomplished?”
Air horn!! A useful tool for the moderation of the presidential debate.
The presidential debate will have a cut off if a candidate should exceed his allotted time limit, but given the past behavior of one of the candidates, perhaps something more is needed.
Should a candidate attempt to interrupt his debate opponent, a loud blare would issue from the moderators table. Should a candidate attempt to lurk and wander in an effort to intimidate his opponent, or mumble and gesture as though violating a court order-BLATT!
Fact checking in real time is expected to be a challenge. The air horn would also be helpful in refereeing inaccurate statements. One hopes that CNN would have a room full of people whose sole task would be to authenticate the candidates utterances, and to convey accurate information to the moderators.
The aural moderating aid might also be augmented by a visual one. Perhaps a flashing sign like the ones that say “Applause” on late night shows. However, the debate sign would be modified to read “LIE”. The sign would be placed center stage clearly visible to the television audience.
All this does seem like a lot for the CNN moderators to handle, what with asking questions and all. If a third moderator should be hired, it should be someone familiar with current events, the current candidates, and presidential debates. May I suggest Hillary Clinton? If she cannot fit it into her schedule, perhaps someone from the Daily Show is available.
Borowitz: Prison Guards Dreading Body Search of Bannon
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Panic gripped the nation’s prison guards on Thursday as they reacted to the prospect of body-searching Steve Bannon.
The thought of interacting with the naked Bannon had many in the guard community rethinking their careers, insiders confirmed.
“I’ve been living in fear of this day,” Frank Klugian, a veteran correctional officer, said. “I knew it was bad news the minute I heard Mrs. Alito was flying her flag upside down again.”
Harland Dorrinson, the warden of the penitentiary that will be receiving Bannon, said that “every protection” will be provided those carrying out the procedure, “Including, obviously, hazmat suits.”

Same headline could work if TFG gets jail time.
Bill Walton dies at 71
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40229031/nba-champion-hall-famer-bill-walton-dies-71I liked it when Walton was doing the color on college games. He would ramble and reminisce until I wondered not what, but how much he was smoking. Then something would happen on the court and he would switch to basketball. When the switch happened, he was really interesting and insightful.
Saw him once at the ballpark on Jerry Garcia night.

I am one of those people who just pushes whatever button to see where it takes me, but I’m willing to learn.
Apologies to Rowan Atkinson and all fans of his reading this...
Whenever I see Scalise on TV or hear his name, I also hear a phrase from the Black Adder the song.
Da da da, da da da - you horrid little man.
Of course, this description could also apply to Gym Jordan, or the tiny bow tie man who is serving as interim speaker.
Horrible ear worm- only goes away if I pause and visualize Hakeem Jeffries.
