Speaking of stupid, I heard part of an NPR interview with Fran Lebowitz recently, and she is so witty and funny. She said that New Yorkers have always known that Trump is incredibly stupid and they could not believe he was ever elected. She's doing a tour now, and I'd enjoy seeing her in person. Here's the list of cities in case anyone is interested.
