Proud to be featured in one of these three great documentaries, “The Best of Enemies,” offering first-hand observations of the 1968 Buckley-Vidal “debates” on ABC at the conventions.

And if he doesn’t get it he can offer a discount on a coop on the West Side.

His acolytes will forgive him if he just says, “Well, she LOOKED 16. How was I supposed to know she was 14? What was I supposed to do? Ask to see her drivers license? Everybody knows 14-year-olds can’t get drivers licenses. Oops!”

It’s Barron with two “r”s for reasons best known to The Felon Formerly Known As Donald Trump.

Trump to sign order Friday designating English as the official language of the US — AP. Does this mean he will begin speaking it?

Trump chewing Obama’s ear off before Jimmy Carter’s funeral begins. What do you say to a man whose birthplace, citizenship and religion you viciously questioned? Knowing Trump, it wasn’t, “Sorry.”

Just saw NBC News’ Steve Patterson live ad lib five or six minutes covering efforts to save a residential neighborhood threatened by the wildfire and I can say with certainty that it was the best live account I have seen in the 40+ years of my media career. His cameraman deserves great praise, too.

I wonder if President-elect Musk/Trump has a plan to avoid a government shutdown. I fear he/they do not. Too bad, I am owed a significant amount of money by a government agency, so unless the check is mailed today, it will be delayed. Thankfully, I have no employees to pay.

I’m calling him President-elect Musk/Trump. Until Jan. 20. Then it becomes President Musk/Trump. Putting Musk first will drive Trump crazy if this goes viral. (As Bob Hope quipped, “That’s not a drive; it’s a short putt.”)

Clearly Felonious Trump has never read this. Nor anything else, judging by his profound ignorance.

If the Republicans cut Medicare and/or Social Security, they will suffer a generation of electoral defeats and they know it. So they won’t do it.

None of them drunks nor rapists, either.

We started watching “English Teacher” on Hulu. It’s very funny when the jokes hit, groan-worthy when the miss. Is it comedy-by-committee, I wonder, with dullard network suits intruding on the creative process? The clueless HS kids are priceless. Their idiocy always works comedically.

Another felon. Looks like the price of admission to Club Trump is at minimum an indictment with advanced placement for convictions.

He is so right about ketchup and fries. He needs to run for president.

Marginally better than a sex-obsessed drug gourmand statutory rapist.

What about the army of retired journalists? Asking for a retired journalist named George Merlis, who, at 84, no longer practices the craft but has lots to share.

Sixty-second wedding anniversary today. And they said it wouldn’t last. (Not that I know who “they” are.)

When he was running for the DA job in Manhattan, I had a phone conversation with Alvin Bragg. Someone suggested that I do a media training session with him and set up the call. The training never happened, but in our 20-minute conversation, I found him to be a serious proponent of the rule of law.

I was wondering what skunk hollow Huckleberry Hillbilly had retreated to; he has largely been MIA since election night.
