It so fascinates me how we ALWAYS laugh when somebody falls on a banana peel, how COMEDY and INJURY are often so INTERWOVEN. I've always been a sucker for that.

Donald Trump is many THINGS - a tantrum-throwing man-child and a wannabe strongman pining for his very own BANANA REPUBLIC among them - but PERHAPS most of all he is a giant, melon-colored distraction from what is happening to our country under his WATCH.

I do REALLY GOOD banana bread. And I make a CHOCOLATE CAKE with fudge icing that's bloody delicious.
