Newspapers 4 life. (Ex NY Daily News, Boston Herald.) NYC, North Fork. (Amateur watercolors now at @washbuckler.bsky.social) No substack. No podcast. Too sarcastic for my own good. Please don’t feel you have to explain my jokes to me.

For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

How do you get a medical degree while being that ignorant?

Come on. That’s unfair. She also has endless tired bon mots to aggravate you with.

This was my first thought this morning when I woke up. I have not mellowed in my opinion.

i see we have entered the “get mad at Democrats about unilateral Trump action” phase of the thing and, whatever makes you happy I guess

most of the criticisms are correct and almost all of them are irrelevant

If all these high profile killings are confirmed, including SL, and if they happened in the early hours of the attack as some Israeli journalists are reporting, who has been running the retaliatory attacks across the region all day? Clearly some regime elements are surviving.

You did very well! I was very impressed at how quick they are to come up with specific jokes for their guest spellers.

If Trump killed the rally around the president effect, that wouldn’t be terrible in the long run.

Let me guess. They were “obliterated.”

It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.

You know, I’ve always wanted to say this to you, but until now it only ever came to mind while listening to the show in the car: I can’t think of another example of a person so perfectly suited to their role. Is anyone as impeccably good at their job as you are at hosting WWDTM? I say no.

If you were at work today and you got a phone call from your wife that France just blew up your kid's school, your lifelong opinion of France is probably not going to be anything other than "Death to France"

Yes. Love to live near Times Square, a likely major target, when this guy is in charge of protecting us.

By Trump’s logic we should have been in extremely violent war with Russia starting in 2016 when they successfully hacked him into the WH.

How can you not understand that “I implored Rubio” is not what we Dems want to hear from our leaders in these desperate times?

Washington Post layoffs include entire Ukraine, Middle East bureaus - National | Globalnews.ca The Post’s executive editor Matt Murray called the move painful but necessary to put the outlet on stronger footing and weather changes in technology and user habits.

I’m not the world’s fourth-richest man so I don’t mean to speak out of turn here, but I think that firing your full-time foreign correspondents right before a major war might not have been a particularly wise move in terms of, you know, getting or keeping subscribers

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be
