Short Bursts
You first. Headline from nypost.com: “Mutant munchies: Viral NYC bakery is ‘redefining’ donuts by adding anchovies — and it’s disgusting.” Ewwww!
Also on the food front, from NYP: “Grand sweet: Baker’s giant gingerbread replica of famed NYC hotel wins ‘fan favorite’ at museum showcase.” Meet Rosy Teed, an attorney, and her Hotel Chelsea recreation. The place stands at West 23rd between 7th and 8th Avenue in Manhattan.
Another, from NYP: “RFK Jr. baffled over how Trump is alive with diet ‘full of poison’.” I’d guess DT is blessed with genes that cleanse, as are those lifelong smokers who live to a ripe old age.
One more: Among today’s celebrations, it’s National Bagel Day. I’ll have an everything with butter.
Excerpt from a newsmax.com article by Jim Mishler: “ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot a 37-year-old Minneapolis-area resident last week as she tried to drive over him during a street confrontation, sustained internal injuries from that encounter.” Internal bleeding.
Why Greenland? Headline from foxnews.com: “Denmark concedes Trump’s concerns are valid on China, Russia Arctic activity.” Don’t worry, NATO forces are on the way after their success in Ukraine.

From FN: “Twenty years later, Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ has been thoroughly debunked.” And he’s laughing all the way to the bank!
From FN: “Jon Stewart calls out the Clintons for defying House subpoenas in Epstein investigation.” Not very brave, since Billary has become irrelevant. Is he trying to show he’s non-partisan? It wouldn’t fool anyone.
From FN: “US, Taiwan come to $250B ‘America First’ tariff deal over semiconductors.” Another win for DT, although I wonder if he had to promise protection from a Chinese invasion… And: “US military seizes another fugitive oil tanker linked to Venezuela.”
From FN: “Federal prosecutors indict 26 people for allegedly fixing college basketball games in widespread conspiracy.” According to the article by Paulina Dedaj, Ryan Morik & Andrew Fone: Tulane, Nicholls State University, St. Louis University, Fordham, DePaul among others. I wonder if Temple is among the others. It was the first school I’d heard mentioned a couple of years ago. I wonder if those players who don’t attract NIL money rationalize cheating as a way to get their due.
How does one become a doctor without knowing if a man can have a baby?
Goose egg at an alternate site out of the wind today at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. Fie!
