On one hand it’s wonderful that so many septuagenarians can be so dynamic. On the other we’re in the midst of a pandemic that preys most particularly on people over the age of 70. And there’s no cure.

I’ve just listed some of the most important people in American politics. And they’ve all got a bull’s eye on their respiratory systems. Hoping they all come through this, but as a nation are we not sort of playing craps with our leadership? I mean, they pushed Brent Musburger aside and he was still at the top of his game.

You know how some sports outlets come out with their Heisman favorites in August and then someone like Joe Burrow comes out of nowhere and wins the Trophy? Someone who didn’t even have odds placed on him? If there were—and maybe there is, I don’t know— a way to bet on who would win the election come November, right now I’d place my money on “The Field.” That is, someone other than Biden, Bernie or Trump. I feel as if the world is gonna get weirder before it gets back to normal.

You?
