It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. Our hopes were dashed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sudden bout of indecisiveness on the issue of obstruction. And in what can only be described as a Nope Turducken, the lawyer who defended Michael Jackson co-conspired with the lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels to try to extort money from Nike, Inc., the client of the law firm representing Theranos and Harvey Weinstein. Also on the docket: Yuri Geller tries to reverse Brexit via telepathy; Marmite Peanut Butter and Heinz Beanz Pizza wreak havoc on the UK culinary scene; a scientist discovers that cheese likes “A Tribe Called Quest”; another scientist develops hot sauce made from spiders; Mike Pompeo says Donald Trump is the reincarnation of Queen Esther; and, finally, Rachel shares a harrowing personal story about her husband Josh’s text-message keyboard shortcuts.
