    No one denies this. I'm gonna wait until he's 5 and then introduce him to in person and he's going to think that I'm a really big deal and super famous. It's going to be awesome.

    “I’m calling a Season of Healing in which I recruit your anger into my PR rehab. It’s also a Season of Reconciliation, in which you reconcile yourselves to the fact that I’m still here and Pope Francis doesn’t care how it looks.”

    Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the embattled archbishop of Washington, has acknowledged calls for new leadership in his archdiocese and says in a letter to local Catholic priests he plans to kick off a "season of healing" with a Mass on September 14

    I bit. I may have spun "his alleged cause for the country" from the way Jonah intended it, but I think spinning it in such a way is crucial to arguing from the author's perspective how the op-ed benefits his/her cause.

    So has anyone, left, right or center made a good argument for the anonymous op-ed? I mean in terms of being good for his alleged cause of the country?

    Guys, my friend Mike Long just published this book. He's one of my favorite speechwriter colleagues and a great guy — this is kind of like Freakonomics meets neuroscience.

    I dunno. If we can get tambourines and Gather at the Season of Healing Masses, maybe we just call it a day. Problem solved!

    I think a season of resignations and public penance is more what we are looking for.

    It's quaint to remember when the Trump scandals were about claims of the size of his crowds. But new docs FOIA'd by the Guardian show that even that was much worse than we thought.

    The culture wars are raging as intensely as ever. But as the Kavanaugh hearings demonstrate, their defining feature in 2018 is not their intensity but their stupidity.

    Remember back when there was that insane scandal where Omarosa had been secretly taping all of these White House meetings and it was the worst thing that had ever happened in American political life? What was that, like, 8 months ago?
