Two Corinthians walk down the 700 block of Fifth Avenue in New York, past the Secret Service trailer and into Trump Tower. They head straight for the Trump Grill.

Corinthian One: I'll have a taco bowl.

Corinthian Two: I'll have a slice of the greatest chocolate cake in the world.

Waiter, shouting to the kitchen: Double penetration one and double penetration two.

Corinthian One: Excuse me, but we can't help but wondering. You see, we were both short-order cooks in Aramithea and we know a lot of diner slang. For instance, I know that "Adam's ale, hold the hail" is water without ice and "Bossy on a board" is a roast beef sandwich.

Corinthian Two: And I know that "flop two over hard" is two fried eggs, flipped over with a solid yolk and I know that "wreck 'em" refers to scrambled eggs.

Corinthian One: But what is "double penetration one?"

Corinthian Two: And what is "double penetration two?"

Waiter: Oh, that's our diner lingo for "diarrhea plate one" and "diarrhea plate two."

Funny if the "private party" they are renting from is Russian. "Yes, you rent my apartment. Please speak directly to lamp in bedroom. No good signal in there."

I keep waiting for Trump to tweet some inspiration he got from Venezuela.

He's counting on Jared as his new Human Shield Advisor. The best Human Shield ever. Nobody can take a hail of bullets like Jared. Everybody says so.

What are the odds that the 'private party' the DOD is renting from is "John Barron"?

More heart-breaking is that I know him through his wife, who I shared some wild years with back when she was a progressive lesbian. To be fair, she hasn't told me that she is no longer a progressive lesbian, but I have eyes.

I, too, was there in the 70's, fresh-faced and naive Hoosier. I made it 5 years before being assaulted in the subway, and I was a much different person when I left. I still walk very fast in crowds, never look anyone in the eye in crowded situations, and don't pause to look around in unfamiliar surroundings. I have lived in a small town for over 30 years, and don't often go to ANY city, because I hate to depersonalize myself like that -- it's very tiring.Also, it took 10 years for me to lose the habit of pausing at the bathroom door after turning on the light and inspecting every single square inch of the room for cockroaches!

A Huey Long without accomplishment coming to a hallway near you. Oh, Jared. I'll rephrase. A human (more or less) being without accomplishment coming to a hallway near you. Will Donnie (they're all junior) take one for Jared or the other way 'round? I want some press credentials for that day. Will busses be involved?

Trumps got a perfectly good dump in DC, and Melania and Barron are there now, so fuck Trump Tower.

By the end of August, those are really going to enhance the value of that gilded monstrosity.

If terrorists attacked Trump Tower, the only people they'd get would be people stupid enough to give Donald Trump money voluntarily.

Hey wait, as taxpayers, can't we just insist Trump hire his own security? He's got bootstraps, right?
