Poetic Justice

The Fog of Snore
Buck Banks | Dec. 5, 2025

They say that power naps can be effective,
Especially for a busy chief executive.
So when Dear Leader Dozy Don
Nods out with a blink and a yawn,
It’s OK — when he’s asleep he’s not spewing racist invective.

Verbatim

    “You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need one or two. They don’t need that many. You always need steel. You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice. So we’re doing things right.”

    — Donald Trump, at a rally in Pennsylvania last night.

    11.6 Million Voters

    LAist.com: Voters notoriously do not show up for off-year elections in the same numbers, as say, a presidential election. But given how consequential Prop. 50 was, there was a lot of curiosity about how many voters would participate. The answer? About 11.6 million people — a turnout of 50% statewide. It’s not as high as California’s last special election in 2021 on whether to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom — turnout then was 58.4%. But it’s a solid showing for California, especially for an off-year special election. In fact, it’s on par with California’s 2022 midterm elections, which saw 50.8% turnout.
