inherited an economy in smoldering ruins from a Republican predecessor (there’s nothing you can do about that ketchup icing)

January 2021

“Although I guess it’s better to just write your own plan than rework whatever the hell Trump would’ve come up with. It’s like fixing a birthday cake after putting your kid in charge of making it – you can add as much sugar as you want, but there’s nothing you can do about that ketchup icing.” —Seth Meyers

“Joe Biden inherited a country in desperate straits, with a worsening pandemic and news that 900,000 Americans filed for unemployment last week. Which means this is now the second time in 12 years Biden has been part of an administration that inherited an economy in smoldering ruins from a Republican predecessor. Biden’s like the grandpa who sits quietly in the recliner all day reading the newspaper but then when it gets too cold, you have to ask him to chop the firewood because no one else knows how.” —Seth Meyers

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

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