Letterman: Wait a minute, there's a doughnut line at church?

Every so often, I'll go through a phase when, over the course of several days, I'll search YouTube for clips of Fey's appearances on Letterman, and watch them all — for the umpteenth time. And I will enjoy them all — for the umpteenth time. (Sadly, I don't think there are clips of several of Fey's appearances. Get on…

There's a Trump Towers in Istanbul. He's not going to piss off Turkey. (He even conceded that he has "a little conflict of interest" regarding Turkey. That was in a radio interview with — ugh — Steve Bannon last year.)

I didn't know swimming did this, too. I think in Olympic years, figure skating has — or at least used to have — world championships after the Olympics. And I never understood why. The Olympics are the big, global competition that everyone in the sport cares about most. Make them the de facto world championships that…

Reading this may infuriate you or cause you to despair (or both), but the Washington Post has a really good article detailing how the fake Pizzagate story culminated over the weekend with a guy from North Carolina coming up to D.C. and firing shots in a restaurant. (The restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, is just two or…

I believe the expression is "What ho!" Whereas "What, ho?" makes it sound like you're replying to the guy and calling him a ho.

Well, Bill O'Reilly tells me the slaves who built the White House were treated well, so I think trips to the White House are still OK.

The Southern Poverty Law Center counted 867 incidents in the 10 days after the election: https://www.splcenter.org/2…

Hey, on 60 Minutes he looked into the camera and halfheartedly said "Stop it," to the people who were committing hateful acts in the wake of his election. What more could you ask of the guy?

I've been seeing a lot of commercials for the show "Baskets" on FXX recently, and every time I hear the name, I think of a Top Ten List that David Letterman did after the Houston Rockets beat the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals (in 1995, I believe). I think the list was "Reasons Why The Magic Lost," or something to…

Jesus was big on grabbin' 'em by the pussy, apparently.

I'm not questioning your general thesis, but crime is not at an all-time high, at least in the U.S.:

"It’s also in a strong position to bring together data on its customers shopping habits online and offline to make better suggestions in all situations."

He's also the only men's basketball coach ever at Kansas to have a losing record over his tenure.

Cecily Strong was mostly on the bench for this one, which is surprising (and a little disappointing, at least for me). I think she only appeared in the sketch about the cleaning ladies. She did a good voiceover for the kid's well, though; I think she's actually really good at those.

Anyone who calls to congratulate him — dictators, autocrats, presidents of places we technically don't recognize — he's taking the call, because his ego needs it. (Or maybe because he's building hotels in those places.) But that requires conversing with those people. He knows nothing about the issues in those…

Thanks.

So the news here is not that the Stones' new album is available today — a fact casually tossed into the last sentence of the article — but that Kristen Stewart is in the video for one of the songs? Got it.

Well, if it comes to it, I may be desperate enough to cross the Potomac. So I'd welcome whatever you can tell me. Thanks.

I really dislike going to sports bars to watch games, but I just realized that the Steelers game isn't going to be on TV here because the stupid local team is playing at the same time (late game, Sunday afternoon). This is a long shot, but can anyone recommend a place in D.C., or maybe even the Bethesda area, to watch…
