When everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis, and that's the goal for the people creating the real chaos.

Happy Mothers Day, known in literary circles as the Day of Confused Apostrophes. Is it for all mothers, so it's Mothers’ Day, or for individual mothers, as in Mother’s Day? It it's only for happy mothers, it's Happy-Mothers Day? Or maybe nobody owns it, so it's just Mothers Day. I'm so confused.

Washington is closer than people think. Post Offices, Social Security offices and VA hospitals close, cancer screening and after-school programs end, and suddenly we appreciate the pork-barrel projects we all love to hate. We’re all getting a lesson in civics, the hard way.

We expect tons of bravery from other people as Trump rains vengeance on his enemies. Whether it’s Columbia or Paul Weiss or the bureaucrat who gets doxed by DOGE, we expect them to fight to the death. The rest of us gave in and we’re bagging our own groceries, but Trump targets must be superheroes.

Two absolutely consistent statements I’m hearing from my Trumpian friends: “He’s delivering exactly what he promised,” and “You can’t take him literally.” I hear the next Olympics will have a competition for mental gymnastics and the U.S. team is guaranteed gold.

I’ve never been sold on this whole reincarnation thing, but I’m becoming a true believer. Measles was declared dead a quarter century ago and now, like Lazarus, it’s walking tall again. Can’t wait to see what happens with polio and smallpox and, dare I hope, the Black Death.
