“The astronomically high Mega Millions lottery prize – $1.02 Billion, is the fourth largest lottery prize in US history. Think of what you could buy with all that money – a mansion, a yacht, a tank of gas.” —Stephen Colbert

“In other news, Biden returned to the Oval Office after overcoming Covid and spending the weekend overcoming cabin fever. According to reports, aides stocked the president with at-home entertainment – video equipment, phone calls from his grandkids and a stack of books about Ireland. When that didn’t work, they tried everything else he likes – a pile of old train schedules, the encyclopedia of taffy, a Reader’s Digest from 1952, a Post-It note that just said ‘Delaware’.” —Stephen Colbert

“Now that the president’s over Covid, he can happily skip to work with a spring in his step and get absolutely nut-punched by his approval ratings, as the latest CNN poll found that 75% of Democratic voters want someone other than Biden in 2024, compared to about 51% in January. Ah, the good old days, when only half of his buddies wanted to take away grandpa’s launch codes.” —Stephen Colbert
