“Our hearts go out to the people of Florida right now after Hurricane Ian barreled into the state with record winds, rainfall and a storm surge of 18 feet. But there was still humor to be found. At one botanical garden in St Petersburg, a bunch of flamingoes huddled in the public bathroom to ride out the storm. Really? They all just went to the bathroom at the same time?

“And some Floridians have even found catfish in their front yards. To make matters worse, they were nowhere near as hot as their profile picture.” —Stephen Colbert
“We checked on the governor’s race in Pennsylvania, where Republican nominee and Trump devotee Doug Mastriano is struggling in the polls, in part because, according to political scientists, he suuuuucks.

Because historically, nothing projects ‘winner’ like a Confederate soldier in Pennsylvania.” —Stephen Colbert
