our nation’s raccoons are now totally resistant to Covid (a Bible the size of a mini-fridge)

January 2021

“A Biden presidency does not equal a rapid recovery from Covid. It took a year of disgraceful mismanagement to get us into this mess, so of course it will take more than a great speech, some beautiful poetry and a Bible the size of a mini-fridge to recover.” —Samantha Bee

“Oh, the failures of the Trump administration to even attempt a plan for vaccine distribution of a vaccine for Covid. Despite having the coolest, fastest-sounding name a 12-year-old boy could think of, Trump’s Operation Warp Speed has been frustratingly slow with vaccine distribution, with much of the burden falling to already-strained local health systems. Only 2.8 million people received their first dose by the end of 2020, far short of the goal of 20 million; supply shortages have caused some states to cancel vaccination appointments, while unpredictable shipments from the federal government have led to thousands of spoiled doses sent to the garbage. But on the plus side, our nation’s raccoons are now totally resistant to Covid.” —Samantha Bee

“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.”
