We feel somewhat guilty about not discussing politics much here lately – especially since we’re about to do it to you again. But here’s at least a few things off the top of our head (as our long-departed hair used to say):

• We watched Michelle Wolf’s “comedic” performance at the White House correspondents dinner and were vastly unimpressed. She said a lot of nasty things, but we think any actual hubbub about her performance is a waste of time because it wasn’t important. And we weren’t offended by her despicable ideology so much as we were offended by the fact that she wasn’t very funny.  If we’re wildly generous, maybe 20% of her jokes landed. The rest just flopped around on the floor and died in painful silence.

• Regarding the leaked questions Mueller wants to ask Trump, we have no idea if they were leaked by underlings of Mueller or Trump (though it’s got to be one or the other). Either way, the questions reflect the preposterous nature of this “investigation.” As Dorothy Parker (who, unlike Michelle Wolf, was both acerbic and hilarious) once observed, “there’s no there there.”

• What? Iran was lying about being in full compliance with the nuclear agreement so carefully crafted by Barack Obama?! We are shocked. Shocked.

• We still think Kanye West is a talentless idiot, but concede that he is an enormously influential one. For that reason, the fact that he’s retweeting quotes from the brilliant conservative Thomas Sowell gives us a flicker of hope that a few minds may be opened to the reality of the Democrats’ new plantation.

And now, let’s get on with a little comedy! While tidying our office yesterday, we discovered an old and forgotten cache of Earwigs cartoons (albeit with only one caption each) which exist only on aging paper. As an act of historical preservation, we scanned them, and are sharing a few here:
