Dunce Cap Award: Just Dumb Vance

 Oh, this is just too easy.

Vice President Just Dumb Vance was interviewed by conservative garbage dispenser Benny Johnson on Saturday, and, well, he stamped his idiot card by claiming aliens are demons.

"I don't think they're aliens. I think they're demons, anyway, but that's a longer discussion.", Vance told Johnson. 

According to reports, Vance wants to go to Area 51, but more pressing matters always get in the way. Well, DUH!!

Oh, if only he knew how stupid he really is.

Seems to me that Vance and his boss, President Pampers, have gotten into Dumb Donald II's secret stash, if you know what I mean. The elder Trump claimed last month that he would direct US agencies to start looking into identifying and releasing government files on aliens & extraterrestrials. Oh, please. 

Trying to tie any of this to Christian faith is meant to keep the evangelicals snowblind to reality. It's just another distraction, but if Vance is looking for life on other planets, maybe this helps:

And, then, after this aired in 1987, Miller and its ad agency went back to the well, but without Rodney Dangerfield and friends.

We checked with an expert:

"What we have is proof that our government has forgotten what intelligent life really is."

So true, so you know what Vance is getting:

Considering how many the Trump men have, they can spare one for Vance.

Wartime Mondays: The series premiere of Victory at Sea (1952)

 The delusional old man in the White House thinks the conflict he started in Iran will "end soon". Ever hear of poking the bear, Mr. President? I doubt that very, very seriously.

Allow us, then, to give you a primer, starting with the 1st episode of Victory at Sea, "Design For War", from 1952.

In 2 weeks, the lighter side of war with another episode of McHale's Navy.

The ultimate in trolling: Donald Trump is putting his signature on US currency

 The White House frames it as part of America's 250th birthday celebration. Yeah, right.

Let's just call it for what it is. Donald Trump, in order to feed his ego, is putting his signature on American currency, starting with the $100 bill, in June. It is an ego-driven trolling of the country that, depending on who you talk to, either worships him like he's a false god, or is disgusted by his self-serving megalomania and egomania.

In other words, folks, he's trolling all of us because he wants to take credit for the US turning 250. Because he has surrounded himself with sycophants unwilling to arouse his anger, although he loses his temper on a daily basis by just watching TV, Trump has no resistance, just support from morons like Scott Bessent and Steven Cheung.

Speaking of trolling.....

"He's actually giving trolls like me a bad name."

Irwin Troll is a supporting character from the long running comic strip, Broom-Hilda. He's someone you'd want to have over for dinner. Trump? Not so much. He's bigfooted someone else's funeral so he could air out his imagined grievances. He's addicted to attention as much as he is to junk food.

As usual, Trump is ignoring traditional protocols, as he signed an executive order to put his signature on the bills. In addition, the phoniest Christian on Earth is also have a special coin made with his picture on it, which would be the modern equivalent of a graven image, something God would not accept or endorse.

While these bills will still be in circulation after he leaves office, whomever replaces Trump will ensure there won't be any more. Trust me on that. If you're a Christian, and you voted for this charlatan at least twice or all three times, you may need to repent daily for a while.

It's only going to get worse before it gets better.

What a baby!: Donnie Diapers whines to Fox No News when the target of his anger isn't there

 The world's oldest crybaby, Donald Trump, called into Fox No News' The Five on Thursday, but recurring panelist Jessica Tarlov had the day off.

Trump took the time to call for Tarlov's dismissal from the show because he disagreed with her report on his poll numbers. Dirty Watters offered the orange man-child the opportunity to sit next to Tarlov at a later date, trying to influence her thinking. Yeah, good luck with that.

We all know Trump doesn't like women who are smarter than he is. His ego can't deal with it, so he whines.

"WAAHH! Her numbers are wrong! They're fake! WAAAHH!"

The truth hurts, doesn't it? Of course. You're just looking for an excuse to get people to stop demanding transparency on the Epstein files, and the fact that you lied about the situation in Iran, a case where, amazingly, the Iranians are making you look even weaker than usual. You can't even keep your lies straight.

Most of the world is tired of you. Do yourself a favor, and take a vacation this weekend, someplace where there isn't a golf course.

Baseball this 'n' that

 After the hype, such as that was, Netflix got caught flat-footed in their initial MLB broadcast Wednesday night.

The Yankees' Jose Caballero initiated the first regular season ABS ball-strike challenge, and lost. However, Netflix's attention was on first year San Francisco manager Tony Vitello, formerly of the university of Tennessee, and the cameras missed the challenge!!

Like, you can't predict live TV, but......!

Anyway, the Yanks spoiled Vitello's MLB debut with a 7-0 win. The series resumes tomorrow night.

Today, though, brought a number of firsts, all of them for rookies.

Munetaka Murakami of the Chicago White Sox hit his first American homer, but the game was already decided in the 9th inning, with Milwaukee blowing away Chicago, 14-2.

The Mets' Carson Benge put New York's home opener vs. Pittsburgh out of reach, or so we thought......

The Mets' Francisco Alvarez followed with a moonshot of his own, and the Mets had to sweat out the 9th inning to win their opener, 11-7.

Meanwhile, JJ Wederholt (St. Louis) & Joey Wiemer (Washington) also went deep in their debuts.

Back to the Mets, who knocked out reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes with a 5 run first inning. Skenes, presumably still feeling the effects of Team USA losing the World Baseball Classic a week ago, just didn't have it. No one saw this coming.

Yankees announcer Michael Kay was not a happy camper in San Francisco on Wednesday.

With the game on Netflix, thanks to MLB's new deal, meaning more greed for MLB, Kay was in the bleachers at Oracle Park, and will call Friday's Yankees-Giants game. He didn't like the idea of the game being on Netflix in the first place, and we'd guess because he wasn't asked to call the game. Salty much?

Universal is trying Murder, She Wrote again, this time on the big screen

 12 years after NBC rejected a proposal to reboot the former CBS series, Murder, She Wrote, with an African-American lead (Octavia Spencer), Universal has decided to take their chances with a feature film release, set for December 2027, right around Christmas time.

This time, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis has been cast as author-turned-sleuth Jessica Fletcher, the role originated by Angela Lansbury in 1984. Reportedly, news of this first came up while Curtis was on a media tour for last year's "Freakier Friday". Given how the original series had a supporting cast to back up Lansbury (i.e. William Windom, Tom Bosley, Ron Masak, and, in at least one or two episodes, Bill Maher), Universal will need to find the right mix of players to back up Curtis.

The original Murder can be found on cable or online streaming. Time to catch up, since we've got more than a year and a half before the movie......

Musical Interlude: When The Night Comes (1989)

 Joe Cocker landed one more big hit with 1989's "When The Night Comes", which introduced Cocker to the MTV generation. Capitol labelmate Bryan Adams co-wrote "Night" with frequent collaborator Jim Vallance and prolific songwriter Diane Warren. Cocker peaked at #11 with "Night":
