Working on aging gracefully (will settle for ungracefully). Former Chicago Sun-Times “Quick Hits” sports columnist, among other newspaper jobs there and elsewhere. Not tired of being retired.

As subtle as a sledge hammer.

That’s how they keep the cool cities cool — by keeping state legislators away.

Good for you and your interactions. Being willfully ignorant is better?

So being cushioned apparently is overrated.

Could prove to be a headache for Texas.

What a disrespectful thing to say — about blue cheese.

That’s a horrible thing to say — about blue cheese.

The super-rich seem to prefer representation without taxation. Bank on it.

His brain synapses were confused by all the $$$$ signs he envisioned.

Let me know when Ohtani does it in the World Series. Also let me know when someone betters Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 Series.

Fairly certain he couldn’t give you a good definition of “communism” (among a plethora of other words).

While we mere mortals aspire to such lofty status.

They shoulda had Braun throw to the person who handled his failed 2011 drug test.

Hoping Jeff Gordon knows how much his readers will miss him. Nice to read of your connection to Bob Broeg, a man who spanned generations of P-D greatness.

Whatever is the next level beyond “batshit crazy” seems accurate.

Well, alphabetically he’s getting closer.

Maybe the DOJ can ask to use RFK Jr.’s brain worm. Waiting with baited breath.

I have no idea, but soybeans should be cheap since the Chinese aren’t buying any nowadays from the U.S. after purchasing $12 billion of them previously.

So much for the fruit of their labors. Gee, and we live in a country that doesn’t even grow bananas. Can’t catch a break. That’s bananas.

Shouldn’t living in a banana republic mean lower banana prices?

Shouldn’t living in a banana republic come with cheaper banana prices?

Or give them extra-strength Tylenol and they can take care of anyone who tries to bully them.

So the White House will be ordering flags to be flown at half-mast in 3 … 2 … 1 …

Please don’t disparage baseball mitts. They have a useful purpose — unlike junior, tRump, etc.

But think of all the money tRump & Co. are saving by not advertising on Univision and Telemundo.

Antifa strikes again. The same school where Churchill gave his “Iron Curtain” speech in 1946. No wonder tRump & Co. want to do away with higher education.

An accurate appraisal. Don’t worry. The facts won’t deter the critics.

He appears to bring an intensity that other players (other than Arenado) don’t exhibit. Not to say other players lack that fire, but his seems the most visible. And that passion is worth something.

Coming soon: The tRump special edition of Mein Kampf that will be available — and required — for every American to purchase through Trump Publishing.
