When is someone going to have the courage to suggest he should book himself into the Sundown Home for the criminally stupid? I think people would be talking about an enduring power of attorney if he were only the head of a family.

The latest according to the Guardian, from your beloved leader:
“You have to be calm,” he said, at the White House this morning before departing to tour the tornado damage in Tennessee and just after signing an $8.3 billion emergency spending bill to deal with the virus.

“It will go away,” he said. “We have very low numbers [of confirmed cases] compared to many countries throughout the world, our numbers are lower than almost anyone...deaths, is it 11?” It is.

“In terms of cases, it’s very very few because we have been very strong at the borders.”

Yeah, that's right. Those strong borders will keep out the virus...that is all over Washington....

Arnold Sports Festival cancels convention due to coronavirus, will allow athletes to compete

This is an event that you probably only know about if you are into body building or live in Central Ohio, but it has a major impact on the local economy.

The Arnold owes much of its origins to a local military museum that bought an Austrian tank that was commanded by Schwarzenegger when he did his military service before he came to the US. They would let him drive it around, so he visited Columbus fairly often.

One good thing about situations like the cornovirus outbreak: It causes the looneytooners to show their stripes.

Nearly 17 people tested, huh?

Is that because they couldn't get close enough to them? Like there were rocks in the way? Or rabid gerbils? "We nearly got to them, but then a sinkhole appeared and they were gone anyway."
