Has anyone pointed out that SNL itself joked about Chelsea when Clinton first took office? They made a joke about her in a Wayne's World sketch. I can't remember the exact joke, but Wayne and Garth were doing a Top Ten list about things to look forward to in the Clinton administration. I think one of the items on the

Find a Patel Brothers, or another Indian grocery store. (I just checked Patel Brothers' website: $2.79 for 3.5 ounces.)

In other environmental news, Badlands National Park may be going rogue on Twitter. These National Park Service people are awesome.

Larry King is now working for Vladimir Putin (hosting shows on RT), so let's not hold him in great reverence.

Please, sir, we want the list of songs for 2017.

Since this concerns an executive action, and not a law enacted by Congress, I should have mentioned that trying to get the President to fix it is also part of the remedy available to ordinary citizens. But the question you raised remains: If a Republican Congress isn't going to challenge Trump, and Trump himself isn't

No. To sue, you must suffer an injury that's concrete and "particularized" to you. Standing doctrine, as shaped by the Supreme Court over the years, prohibits what are known as "generalized grievances," which basically means that you can't sue to stop something that affects everyone the same way. One reason for this

Yeah, I think there's a very good argument that he's violating the Emoluments Clause. I'm just not convinced that the people who are filing this lawsuit have standing to sue.

I really hope they succeed, but I'm dubious of their argument for standing. They apparently have some precedent that they think supports them, however, and they've got a bunch of sharper legal minds than mine. More power to them.

Do you think this Boris McGiver fellow at No. 28 (whom I've never heard of) thinks he should have gotten the role of MacGyver? He practically had the last name for it!

"One person who frequently talks to Trump said aides have to push back privately against his worst impulses in the White House, like the news conference idea, and have to control information that may infuriate him. He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize that."

Amazing day. I didn't march because there were just too many people to get through to even get to where the rally was happening. And while the rally was still going on, there were people marching in what appeared to be two different directions. So I just walked around and enjoyed the scene for a while. The vibe was

Sure. But even though he may not meet your definition of homegrown, he's commonly identified as a Philadelphian, and Philly sure claims him as one of its own. So claim him. It beats claiming Trump (who's not a homegrown Pennsylvanian either) or McKinley.

Anything is better than nothing. So yes, write letters.

I know he wasn't one himself, but Benjamin Franklin beats most Presidents.

I went to protest. I must say, it was fun and sort of invigorating. I walked around downtown D.C. for a while, just checking out the scene. At various points, protestors were linking arms across entire streets, peacefully blocking Trump fans from entering the parade area. That was cool. Then, after a long wait with

Thanks! Same to you.

He's better-looking than Trump. He says 100 percent fewer stupid things, offensive things, and lies than Trump. He does more good deeds than Trump. He has a healthier, more-natural skin tone than Trump.

I'll just mention here that Dan Rooney, the chairman of the Steelers, was Obama's ambassador to Ireland.

Similarly, a lot of media outlets write "FOX" when writing about the TV network. That never made sense to me, because unlike ABC, NBC and CBS, "FOX" is not an acronym. So I would write it "Fox," if it were my choice. But I think the network refers to itself in all-caps, so maybe that dictates what other outlets do.
