“The mirror is a worthless invention. The only way to truly see yourself is in the reflection of someone else's eyes.” ~ Voltaire Vivian Marier Self-Portrait, 1953

Yesterday's Jazzfest photoset that I'm glad is not a carousel. Jon Batiste was a standout with his Swamp song: "They're burning the planet down - it's the chemicals!" David Byrne was wonderful as always, Big Chief, Rod Stewart - fanciness abounded.

Donald Trump has earned every vile adjective I have ever invoked against the man. This is empirical. Each and every characterization, each maledictive phrase results from his overt actions and statements and is in no way hyperbolic. I know many of us feel this precisely.

We’re very sorry to hear about the President’s current troubles. We offer our thoughts and prayers for the entire Trump administration during this difficult period. Now is not the right time to have a policy debate, so let’s not politicize the issue.

“I tried to get his attention by yelling “JODIE FOSTER” because I know he likes actresses” added Russert.

Host: In a pretty major shift, Cook Political Report has now moved 4 Senate seats toward the Democrats—North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Nebraska. That's on top of 5 House races that Cook Political moved leftward just last week. The changes stem in part from Trump's unpopular military action in Iran

Trump is going to brag that, unlike Pope Leo, he has a hot wife

The Final Four is always better with UConn and Geno Auriemma in it. But tonight he was as wrong as he could be. So Dawn Staley didn't meet his time schedule for a pregame handshake. Who is he, Caesar?

"Get me a Diet Coke and Laura Loomer."

THIS is the story of the game. STIFLING defense from South Carolina who EARNED a trip to the National Championship while defeating UConn. SC won the 2nd half 38-22. The were dominant. #WCBB #MarchMadness

Re: Geno's remarks. Sarah appears to have ripped her own jersey. Beyond that, he should not be talking about Dawn Staley the way he did on the microphone. That was so out of pocket. #WCBB #MarchMadness 1/2

halftime phew uconn 26 v 24 South carolina #wbb #FinalFour #ncaawbb #MarchMadness

Halftime. UConn up 2 on SC and honestly that feels pretty lucky with how poorly Azzi is shooting and how well they have Sarah contained so far. Need a huge 2nd half from everyone not named Sarah Strong!

It won't be fun, but should the United States ever go to war with Canada I now have some confidence we could end up rich as pharaohs, and perhaps owning several US states
