This woman's self-regard has risen higher than a weather balloon
Michelle Obama:
Has there ever been a more narcissistic, self-centered duo in the history of American politics? The Clintons, perhaps, come close in some ways, but I'm pretty sure even they didn't believe a hundred percent of their own b.s. The Obamas genuinely appear to think that they are God's (completely undeserved) gift to America. The mind reels at the never-ending display of such towering amour-propre.
“You know, the day I left the White House, it was painful to sit on that stage, and then a lot of our folks didn’t vote — it was almost a slap in the face,” the former first lady added.Imagine that. Some black people weren't as enamored of the Jug-headed God-King and his Divine Consort as the Obamas thought they had a duty to be.
“It wasn’t just in this election, but every midterm, every time Barack didn’t get the Congress he needed, that was because our folks didn’t show up,” she said during another point in the film. “After all that work, they just couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. That’s my trauma.”

I think this may be one of those "six of one, half a dozen of the other" type things
But I'll put it to a vote: who is more disgustingly disingenuous and transparently hypocritical, Chris Wallace or Jake Tapper?
Journalism is like a giant cat that never coughs up its hairballs.
Update So, according to the commentariat, it's a real horse's ass race.
I don't often comment on either of these two because, in order to do so, I'd have to listen to/read their stuff regularly, and, as I'm fond of saying, I'd rather be disemboweled with a tent peg than watch this duo try to out-smug one another. Tapper, in order to maintain his bogus patrician vibe, holds his nose so high in the air he'd probably drown in a rain storm without an umbrella, and Wallace has a constant smirk that gives him a bad case of resting asshole face ("Hey, turns out he only looks like an asshole, he's really not", said no one, ever, after an interview with Wallace).

Sunday funnies (cont'd)
Hillary Tweets a photo of herself wearing a mask. Hillararity ensues.
Friend and commenter Rinardman mentioned Bob Uecker in the comments section of today's main Sunday Funnies post, and his doing so reminded me of how funny Uecker could be. After a mediocre career as a catcher in major league baseball, Uecker built a second career making fun of his not-exactly-sensational legacy (additionally, he worked as a sportscaster and an actor in television). Here he is on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson from the early 70s (not that I needed to mention the decade; check out those threads!)
And here's the Miller Lite commercial with Uecker's classic line, "I must be in the front row".

What now?
Seriously? Murder hornets?
The real story, of course, is Trump's delay in taking steps to combat this menace.
