Here is a quote from one of my favorite novels, Jack London’s Smoke Bellew<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“The world’s gone smash. There’s nothin’ regular an’ uniform no more. The multiplication table’s gone loco. Two is eight, nine is eleven, and two-times-two is eight hundred an’ forty-six\u2014an’\u2014an’ a half. Anything is everything, an’ nothing’s all, an’ twice all is cold-cream, milk-shakes, an’ calico horses.”<\/p>\n

Why this particular quote? Because I was reading about Trump’s infamous medical report, prepared by a Harold N. Bornstein, MD, from the great city of New York. The doctor is real, but the medical report is… weird (reproduced below.) Apparently, Mr. Trump tests positive for everything.<\/p>\n

But what is even weirder is the doctor himself and his Web site. Once a respectable site<\/a> advertising a family practice, today it redirects to a site<\/a> that sells an annoying teddy bear.<\/p>\n

I kid you not. A site that sells “The Original Annoying Happy Birthday Teddy, the bear that never stops singing ‘Happy Birthday to you…'”.<\/p>\n

So perhaps that explains\u00a0why I think that anything is everything, an’ nothing’s all, an’ twice all is cold-cream, milk-shakes, an’ calico horses.<\/p>\n

Or maybe I got high on something without realizing it.<\/p>\n

I mean… is there anything<\/em> about America’s esteemed President-Elect that is not a boldfaced lie?<\/p>\n
