A "w-ag" (wild-ass guess) is the technical term for a group of actuaries.
A w-ag of hasbeen actuaries and wannabes gathered in the Windy (and smoky) City to swap lies and watch the Cubbies dominate the Twins 6-2 yesterday. Having met five decades earlier in Hartford, the attendees had kept in touch over the years despite their advancing senility and decrepitude.

Who wouldn't pay a lousy $3,800 just to keep that lovely smile on dear leader's face?

I really enjoyed The Sheep Detectives. I hope that they don't ruin it by releasing SD2: The Sheep Do Vegas next year.

Clement VII IMAO was the unluckiest pope in history. If his Vatican squad had faced Suleiman's Ottomaniacs, they would undoubtedly would have lost on an own goal or a last minute oops like the Americans did.

OK. So, our president and the War Department do not know the difference between oil and water. We are still the GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!!!!!!

Gmail is now blocking all mails sent from my Yahoo account that was formerly Cox. Neither Yahoo nor Gmail has a way of receiving complaints about this. At least, I could not find one. This makes me extremely angry. What can I do?

Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco were never this brazen. God help us.

Two Americans and Melania walk into a bar ...

This is nonsense. Boniface VIII was held for a few days in Anagni, his home town. He was never taken to Avignon.

Vance and Trump follow the Bungalow Bill school of philosophy: "If looks could kill, it would have been us instead of them...all the children sing."

The pope does wear a miter when celebrating mass. But, then again, so does every bishop around the world. The pope also wears a white zuccheto (beanie) separately or beneath the miter. In the winter he might wear a camauro. Pope John XXIII and many predecessors sported a cappello Romano.

Trump thought that the Jesus meme depicted a doctor? I knew that he never had read the Bible, but he must have looked at pictures at some point, no?

The Three Mousketeers spent an entire day negotiating with the Iranians and could not persuade them to surrender unconditionally. What has the world come to?

ChatGPT told me today that Francis was still pope, and there had never been a Leo XIV. I straightened ChatGPT (I did not know what pronoun to use) out. I wonder if he/she/it/they will remember tomorrow.

The Guardian says that the guy who wrote the book on deal-making has assigned negotiating with Iran to JDV so that he will have more time to ... what? Play golf? Work on his monuments? Explain Epstein to Melania? Fix college sports? Conquer Greenland? Raise tariffs? Any other ideas?

Trump thinks life is a grade-yourself course. He will get his real report card in November.

So when Alito and Thomas retire, one replacement will certainly be the My Pillow guy. Who will be Trump's other pick, Don Jr.?

So, Blondi got kicked out of the Gentlemen's Club, eh? Did she forget to address His Majesty as "Sir" once?
