Also, seriously, my little car is a tardis. I'd measured and measured and was sure I was going to have to have something hanging out a window, if not resort to delivery. Nope, it all fit, with clearance to spare.

... and apparently LMM actually did sing "Never gonna be president now" on SNL tonight. HAH.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I got 3 inches of hair cut (I did not go for the short cut; this is about to my shoulders) (yeah, my hair was REALLY long) and my salon had an OPI display that happened to have ONE bottle of Madam President left, so I had to buy it. HAD TO, I say! Even in person, it is pinker than I like my reds, but I'll definitely put it on my toes. And I'll definitely wear it on my fingernails for Election Day, though I may break it out before.

Why am I surprised at how sore I am this morning?

Yes he did! And may the whole nation sing it soon.

That was funny as hell, and I wonder if he put it in at the last minute after the Billy Bush tape was leaked. In fact, I feel like the whole opening sketch was hastily written Friday because of the Billy Bush tapes. I mean, OF COURSE they were going to address it, but I bet the writers were up laaaaaaaate Friday writing it. And since I don't watch SNL on the regular, I wondered: is it normal to have the opening sketch *without* the guest host? I'm thinking no, but they needed to do the Trump sketch so they dropped/bumped whatever the original opening sketch was.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I doubt it, traditionally they do political cold opens up until the election so they probably had something dealing with the VP debate planned (maybe Trump being miffed that Pence did well?) and then added the Pussygate material at the last minute.

Ah, that's a good point. (Like I said, I haven't watched it in years and years, so I hadn't thought about that.) I assume they have Alec Baldwin on retainer until mid-November.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I assume they have Alec Baldwin on retainer until mid-November.

And, let's hope, no longer than that!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm reading that Trump's genius move today is to attack all the Republicans jumping ship. GOP Civil War--the actors aren't as pretty as the Marvel version, but it's still popcorn-worthy.
