… I love you…

“I thought he was like a big silverback gorilla prowling the studio,” [Nigel] Farage [said.] “He took control. He dominated Hillary Clinton.”

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Monday offered up some numbers to contradict Donald Trump’s debate-night claim that the two ultra-wealthy moguls took similar approaches towards tax payments.

… “I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. (Though, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year.) I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carryforward,” Buffet said.

… “I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited,” Buffett told CNBC. “I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr. Trump — at least he would have no legal problem.”

They go nuts at night.

Mr. Trump, James Joyce called — he wants his stream of consciousness back…

This is like a college professor trying to give a lecture while a dog paces the room urinating on things.

Donald Trump needs to call his vice-president. They haven’t talked about foreign policy.

Big moment, IMHO, in tonight’s debate.

… [background here] is that even their professors are drunk obnoxious football fans.

Not all of the professors, of course! But this sort of story, about a University of Arkansas professor arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct at the school’s last football game, is less rare than you’d think, ‘specially down south and all.

Other schools wring their hands over the indifference of most faculty to the most important thing about their campus – their football team – but UA’s Hogs have no such worry. Football’s pretty much the only game in town at this Nullity School, and professors excitedly – over excitedly – fall into line, as – allegedly – did Professor L.Nalley, who teaches his students not only about the sweet potato, but about how to conduct yourself in the stadium when the Hogs are getting roasted.

Shortly after No. 16 Arkansas’s 49-30 loss to No. 1 Alabama was official Saturday night, a fan decided to make his displeasure with head coach Bret Bielema known — allegedly opting for shouting the simple and direct, “If I had your record, I’d be fucking fired. Fuck you.”

He’s out of jail and awaiting his UA punishment.

What do you think?

Professor of the Year?

UD thanks Dave.

… but UD is looking forward to yet another category (after Trumpageddon and Trumperdämmerung) — Trumpergisnacht, when with bonfire and song we celebrate the renewal of the republic.

… I’m at last on the Not-Trump train…

TIC-TAC DENOUNCES DONALD TRUMP

UD suggests Melania Trump take the French way out. She should plagiarize this now-famous statement by Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s now-ex-wife, and turn what is for others a problem into a point of pride.

Herself a European, Melania can bring the proper accent to this defense of the politician as seducer — a defense I’m sure American women will find compelling.

I’ve got Mike Pence
Jolly jolly Mike Pence
I’ve got Mike Pence to save my party’s life
But beware if you’re gay
Or like Roe v Wade
For Mike Pence is gonna bring you strife

No Trump have I to grieve me
My climate skeptic Mike doesn’t peeve me
I’m happy as a lark believe me
As we go rolling, rolling home
Rolling home (rolling home)
Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the silvery moo-oo-on
Happy is the soul when I line up at the poll
As we go rolling, rolling home.

This is a man who thinks with his dick
His dick is not always wise
This is a man who stumbles and falls
But this is a man who tries

He’ll always need your vote
And so he’ll get your vote
A man who needs your vote
Can be … actionable!

… a blue movie.

… hot.
