Daily News
1 I'm finding that Wednesdays work for all of this, so I shall officially request you look for this nonsense on Wednesdays.
2 I enjoy consistency.
3 Lots of things take place on Wednesdays. Two weeks ago I did a piece on Pearl Harbor. Last week I went to a jolly journey through Hallmark Christmas movie elements in 2016 Hallmark Christmas movies.
4 I had finished the piece when news came in about the passing of Alan Thicke.
5 I didn't even know he was thicke.
6 Too soon?
7 I almost put that one up there last week, but it WAS too soon.
8 The trouble with pretending to be a journalist is that you become what you pretend to be. And I have pretended to be a journalist for over twenty years.
9 That's a lot of pretending.
10 What alarms me is when real news hits.
11 Here's what happens:
12 I spent three or four days writing the Hallmark piece and had to edit and re-edit, and THEN a popular person suddenly leaves us.
13 That's a stop-the-presses moment. Somebody told me that obituaries of celebrities are pre-written.
14
15 Imagine having THAT gig.
16 And imagine the immensity. Anybody famous. There's a small task.
17 Do they have a "go" age, say, 50 or 60?
18 If you know, I wanna know. I can't imagine keeping info on every famous person over 50.
19 If they blow up with dynamite, the chore doubles.
20 A non-pretend journalist then needs to get info from places like Twitter, or worse, TMZ, or soon, from the Donald.
21
22
23 Not THAT Donald.

28 Nope. That's DAFFY Duck, not Donald, even though the blogger dude I got this from insisted his collection of Daffy Duck pictures were Donald.
29 Welcome to The Age of the Idiot. We'll be seeing a lot more, I'm quite sure.
30 In some ways, this is going to be fun. The Donald has the exact same temperament as those two ducks. My feeling is that he is the sort of kid who would cry to the teacher if people made fun of him. My guess is the Duck in him came out early.
31
32 Any guy who has an orange face and insists on wearing a ducktail hairdo into his sixties deserves everything he can get.
Trump is orange. And a duck.
33 In the midst of writing this, I fished around to see if anything fun might be out there. I found this. Hit the link, not the pic, which has NOT been photoshopped. At all. Well maybe. Just a smidge. He's still orange. And a duck. All apologies for the gray link. Colour is everything.
34 This is going to be fun.
35
36 I KNOW, I KNOW.
37 I couldn't let it go.
38 Four years of this. And I thought Nixon was a lark.
39 I KNOW, I KNOW.
40 Moving On, Part One: Ironically, today is the first day of Winter.
41 I'm not feeling the chill quite yet.
42 I might get iced by Trump supporters.
43
44 Nah.
45 They already looked past his duckishness.
46 Frankly, I'm more worried that the business-suit/baseball- cap look will slip past the Michael Moore look, not that I consider Michael Moore a fashion horse, mind you. But he is a handsome cuss, don't you think? Feast on this, ladies:
Moore is Pink. Beast mode, ladies.
Not for the faint of heart.
In 'Murica, colour is
everything.
Not for the faint of heart.
In 'Murica, colour is
everything.
47 But the Donald look: WAY more obnoxious. Check the trend. This is coming to you from a pretty dashing dresser, as anyone who knows me knows. That being said, I present for your viewing pleasure, Donald Trump Fashion Don'ts. I consider each pic self-explanatory, except for the cartoon girl who is ice skating. Donald Trump Fashion Don'ts. For your viewing pleasure. Here go:
49 Orangy Lives Matter.

51 Anybody lookin'?
52 <looks around skittishly>
53
54 All clear.
55 Moving On, Part Two: Last year I gave the Daily News the entire Christmas vacation off, and returned in January, on our traditional return to the classroom. This is because even though I was retired, I wanted to finish a twenty-year stint of this nonsense.
56 After much thinking, I decided to keep the Once-in-a-While Daily News going during the holla days. That way I establish consistency. Wednesdays, you can look for this. It'll pop up when I decide, but it will be on Wednesdays.
57 So don't fear. I expect to continue throwing my idiotic stuff out there for the faint of heart.
58 Have a GREAT week, and enjoy Christmas asunday. I'm done shopping, but I get family, babies, and laughs. I want to do all of that before the bills come to fruition.
59 See you next Wednesday.
60 Gottago.
61 See you again.
62 Live life.
63 Love life.
64 Peace.
fin.
