Good column, but when your lede is typos, you shouldn't then write: Me: “I’m relieved that Donald Trump lost the election, but once Joe Biden takes office I HOLE the media doesn’t rest on its laurels. CAPS added.

Good catch.

Trump (and his lawyers) should certainly be given all the same opportunities as anyone else to prove their case.

Even if they can’t spell.

As the psychic story shows, people are gonna be people. Logic is not always high on the list of priorities, and if it even *looks* like Trump is denied a fair hearing in court, it would give him fodder for playing the martyr. On the other hand, letting it all play out in court keeps him in a forum controlled by law, which deals in logic and reason and is therefore out of his depth. Plus, it provides great entertainment to the masses *and*, as it turns out, to those hardcore few who still love and care about good English, myself included.

Panem et circenses, folks. Keep it coming. (I knew those Asterix comics would come in handy someday. ;P )

My dog thinks this is ridiculous and the only good thing about the White House is the desks are taller so that she can get out her ball. (I swear some days she spends more time with her butt sticking out into the narrow passageways of my humble abode, whining and digging for a toy of some sort that’s socializing with the dust bunnies under the antique furniture, than anything else.)
