Chilling news from The Borowitz Report:

“It might have been misplaced optimism on our part, but we had started to believe that this thing had been contained,” said the C.D.C. spokesman Dr. Harland Dorrinson. “Regrettably, it has not.”
While scientists disagree about how running for President spreads from person to person, most epidemiologists believe that a candidacy needs an environment rich in narcissism and delusion—plus a host to feed on, ideally a sociopathic billionaire.

It’s likely that none of your readers know that you are every bit as funny as AB.
tee hee
And that’s just the OFFICIAL candidates. Some, like Christie, are still in the prodromal phase. Any plans for developing a vaccine?
