that fly has a longer attention span than the president of the United States (free mattress)

October 2020

“In response to health concerns, the commission on presidential debates added two Plexiglass barriers between the candidates on stage, butI’ve seen better sneeze guards at the Sizzler’s salad bar. A highlight of the evening, at least on social media, was not anything either candidate said, but a house fly which perched on Pence’s head. Pence is so full of crap, he’s attracting flies! God bless you, fly. I guess the Plexiglass wasn’t high enough. But listen, listen, all jokes aside, thoughts and prayers to that fly’s family. It’s gotta quarantine for two weeks now. We’ve got to get that fly to Walter Reed. The fly rested on Pence’s head for over two minutes, meaning that fly has a longer attention span than the president of the United States.” —Stephen Colbert

“Basically, right now, America is that free mattress that you find on the curb. You could take it, but you know it’s infested with something.” —Trevor Noah

“You’ve gotta appreciate the irony, though. A president who spent years blaming Mexicans for bringing over disease has personally turned the White House into a petri dish.” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
