It's Sunday with Dan | 2024 March 31

Ronna Romney McDaniel, we barely knew ye. Her job as a political analyst with NBC lasted all of 4 days. That's 3 days longer than Aaron Rodgers had as starting quarterback for the New York Jets. NBC laid off 20 reporters last year, but they were going to pay her 300 thousand dollars a year to continue to complain about voter fraud. There is good news, though. Domino's is hiring drivers, so she has a plan B. 

Last Monday saw the application of the dreaded two tier justice system as, with no reason given, con artist extraordinaire Donnie Trump saw his bond in the New York civil fraud conviction dropped by 289 million dollars. Now he only has to pony up 175 million by next Wednesday. Memories of Batman #38, December 1946. "The Penguin on Parole!" 

In a desperate attempt to save their impeachment of Motorhead Joe Biden, the Rowan and Martin of Congress Jim Jordan and James Comer have now declared they want the audio tape of Biden's 5 hour deposition to Special Counsel Robert Hur. The complete printed version was not enough. I assume they want to hear if Uncle Joe passes gas like Kaiser Trump. 

Speaking of his holiness, Trump announced that he and his good pal Lee Greenwood are selling " God Bless the USA" Bibles for the low price of $59.99. Between the two of these fine men you have 7 wives. In modern times the modern way. On the website one of the frequently asked questions is "What if the pages of my Bible are stuck together?" Mother taught me to keep my smart answers to myself. 

RNC Co-chairman Lara Trump had a busy week. On the application for employment with the RNC it asks if you thought the 2020 election was stolen. Okay. When asked by NBC News what her credentials were for being the head of the RNC and why should she be trusted she answered " I've been on television a lot." And roll over Beyonce, Lara's new single is out. " Anything is Possible" is sung in a breathy style and tells the downtrodden that everything is within their grasp as long as their money is green. 

On Wednesday former senator Joe Lieberman passed at the age of 82. He was Al Gore's running mate in 2000. Many called him fiercely independent. Others called him Velveeta. You be the judge. 

This week's Easter edition of "Meet The Press" was as interesting as the last 3 months worth. First up was the affable South Carolina Democratic Representative James Clyburn. Here we go. Some Republicans are saying no to any federal aid to go to Baltimore for the demolished Francis Scott Key Bridge. Clyburn responded with the it could happen to you sometime defense, and you'd want help too. A recent Gallup poll shows only 36 percent of Americans approve of Israel's war on Palestine. Clyburn says he wouldn't call it genocide, but he does think it's a bad thing. He says people support Israel, but they've had enough of tough guy Bennie Netanyahu. When asked about how we can send bombs to Israel and food to the Palestinians at the same time he said we must stand firm by our previous agreements. Did he gerrymander the voting map in his state to keep himself in power at the expense of other Democrats? No he did not and how dare anyone suggest that. One could tell that question pissed him off. Would he cast a vote to retain Speaker Moses Mike Johnson in exchange for aid to Ukraine? Clyburn said he would do whatever leader Hakeem Jeffries told him to. In the spirit of the holiday did he think issues could be solved in a bipartisan way? He said knock on wood and make a wish. 

Next was the proud Cornhusker Nebraska Republican Representative Don "Thick Sliced" Bacon. Will the Republicans in the House vote for aid to Ukraine? He likes military assistance but he's not keen on humanitarian help. In short, guns but no butter. Does he like Diaper Donnie's idea of all aid be in the form of a loan. Bacon hedged on that answer with a tepid kinda, sorta, maybe response. Does he put any stock into the threats to remove Moses Mike Johnson as the Speaker because he had the nerve to negotiate with Democrats? Bacon called out tantric sex guru Marjorie Traitor Greene without mentioning her name. He said some people pine for face time on television. Did he approve of Trump's increasingly violent rhetoric against Motorhead Joe? He poo pooed it by saying it happens on both sides. Fine. He said the main issue in Nebraska is the border. To which begs the question that if people are coming from South and Latin America and China to live in Nebraska they must really be in bad shape. Did you ever hear the tasteless joke why they put artificial turf in the University of Nebraska football stadium? To keep the cheerleaders from grazing. I heard that joke in junior high. His Easter message to you and yours is God is in charge, follow the Golden Rule, and vote for the Mango Mussolini. 

Putting a nightcap on this week's show was your favorite morning personality Savanah Guthrie. She has a book out now! It describes her personal spiritual journey and her love of Gene Simmons style platform heels. Reading her book is just like chatting with her over a bottle or wine, preferably Thunderbird. No ambiguity for her, God is a male. He with a capital H. Her Easter message for the world is You Are Loved and don't forget to tip your waitress. The Reader's Digest has already released a condensed version of her book. "Good is great. God is good. Now we thank Him for this food. Amen." That's it. That's the whole book. 

Thursday 7-11 introduced a new Sparkling Hot Dog Water. You can have mine. Thursday was also National Choking Awareness Day. To bring attention to the matter my St. Louis Cardinals went out and lost 7-1 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. March 31 is the 15th anniversary of Transgender Visibility Day. On Friday it was recognized by Motorhead Joe. But this year it fell on Easter. Uh oh. Religious Icon Donnie Trump called it "blasphemy!" Moses Mike Johnson said it was an affront to "the core tenant" of Christianity. But the winner in piousness goes to our favorite ex-football coach and current Republican Senator Tommy " Jeopardy Champion" Tuberville. He posted on X this week that all Democrats are " members of a Satanic cult." Chew on that. Paternalist journalist. 

He gives them sympathy because they're not men.
Scrubbing floors they're close to the earth.
A little of a lot keeps them happy.
Avoid the answers but keep them snappy.
