I appreciated you comment on cigarette smoke. So true.... I also appreciate your stories / rememberences of conservativism. It is the right and healthy way to criticize Trump. There are certain writers that wear me out with their hatred of him, which makes me stop reading them due to exhaustion and despair.

On Trump and Discotech…I am no fan of either…but as much as I have always hated leftist comparing The Don to the little Austrian turd, the more I cannot stand how the shameless anti truth Neo nationalist sociopaths megalomania keeps imitating the cult of Adie. What’s next, an unholy Trump Bible salesman’s publication called “My Struggle-One Nation, Under Trump”…engraved, of course, in the arc of Trump triumph…the worlds biggest troll always be trolling

But, respectfully Jay, I take exception at any suggestion that the GOP Crasher, or any of The Dons sicko fans as “conservative”, let alone calling the not so silent, sometimes violent minority, majority that got the reality tv show porn star conman nominated in a winner take all primary system in the first place…and again…and again…but not again, mercifully, because not only do I think the hucksters shtick has finally run it’s overdue course…I do love the Mr Bill Parcels show pull …as much as I feel bad Scott Norwood did not take a Gatorade shower. But no thanks to the D.S.A., I mean D.N.C., in all its faculty lounge act stupidity, just had to nominate the best woman of a different colour, sex and upper class luxury beliefs…and Selina Meyer still just barely lost to Tony Soprano at the ballot box office

Music recommendation- Alec Eiffel by The Pixies. Very clever, sarcastic rock n roll

Someone oughta write a book called “The Strange Death of Virtue” by Bill Bennett, as I got a bout of smokers cough just thinking about how Heat Miser burns the soul of everyone The Devil Incarnate touches. God HELP U.S. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant to the next level Onward and Upward Peace through superior mental firepower

Jay, I wonder whether any of your concert reviews have ever had a headline like this one in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette yesterday: "Review: In ‘Rite of Spring,’ the Pittsburgh Symphony climaxes early"?

But perhaps you don't always write your headlines.

Spring blooms > Trump’s kitsch

Caligula? Nero? The arc d'Trump has more the air of Mausolis about it.

I am a couple years older than Jay and I keep asking myself " how did it all come apart so fast?". And how does Bill Bennett look at himself in a mirror?

'You may have seen this preview of the Trump presidential “library”:'

Nope. Completely missed it. We're not forced to provide Trump with the narcissistic supply he craves. Even you people in the journalistical industry are not forced to do so. You can spend time with trees, instead.

I'm disappointed in Brene' Brown, who has sometimes written insightful things. I guess she felt she had to appeal to the least common denominator.
