It's been a very long hard day's week. So long and hard that I don't even know where to begin, so I'll just start with my boss, Donny.
As you may or may not know, I was the most famous member of the Trump Administration that you've never heard of. I started out with one job, Secretary Of Preventing The President From Saying Or Doing Anything Stupid.
Shortly into his first and (Thank God) only term, I was also made Secretary Of Common Sense, Decency And Honesty. As time kept dragging on and more and more of the Finest People quit or got fired, I was given more and more jobs. By the end, I had nearly as many as Jared.
All of them are gone now and I confine most of my Political Side Hustles to things I do for my friend, Sleepy Joe, but I still do an occasional one or two for Diaper Don.
Therein lies the annoyance. Because, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, for no reason, he wants to know if I'm wearing a wire. But that's not all.
He has developed a sudden FBI fetish. He's also constantly asking if I'm working with the FBI. Do I know what they're doing? Can I give him Dana Scully's number?
Then there's the homefront. Which is just as vexatious as the workfront. My Ferrari's do 185 and they won't stop ((For more details, just Google: Ferrari Is Recalling Nearly Every Car It's Sold Since 2005. Even the LaFerrari is implicated in Ferrari's latest NHTSA recall for brake failure.)).
Well, not all my Ferrari's. Just the ones made since 2005 but that's a full 18% of my Ferrari Fleet. And that's way too many.
Speaking of Italian Problems, where I am going to get Pizza now ((For more details, Google: Domino’s tried to sell pizza to Italians. It failed))? Not Italy, that's for sure. Cause they don't make it anymore.
Does any other country have Pizza? Like I have time to look.
Et Tu, for the second time this week, Italy? Mama Mia!
As if all that wasn't enough, I have yet another car-related problem. My friend Grover explained to me that what I thought was good news, falling gas prices, is really bad news. See the article linked below for all the depressing details.
I'm glad it's Friday.
((If you're wondering why Hard Day's Night isn't the Cosmic Universal Anthem Song Of The Month Club Song For Today, join the club. I am, too. I really want an explanation but I just work here and nobody ever tells me nothing))

@GreatMartin Big Louie's you say, that sounds good. Do they deliver to California?. They actually do that in Billions kind of. Bobby Axerod actually flies the owner of a a great New York pizza place out to somewhere like California so whoever he was trying to impress can taste that genius.

@xander6464 Weird that I get this Notification, as I replied this morning.
I studied Latin in school for several years (Et tu, Brute..."), unfortunately Latin has been dropped and young Italians know nothing about Latin.

Et tu is a Latin phrase. But it's pretty close to Italian.
My proofreader is going to be severely punished.

When you come to India, you can find Pizzas from
Pizza Hut, Domino's and newer ones here like Chicago Pizza.
They are available online as well as offline.
I read somewhere that Italian Pizzas are more burnt than others.
From the article, it seems that US and may be some other countries are in for Stagflation - Stagnation+ inflation which is worse than Growth + inflation.
Inflation is still high enough here as well and that is worrying a lot of us.

Grover is a surname used in India.
But this person has first name as Grover.
Is it a mere coincidence?
Or am I thinking too much!!
You must have multiple ACs in your house to handle heat?
Or some other technology?

Yeah better to be relaxed and not over-think at times!
A good air flow system is always welcome!

Don't take anything Grover says seriously. If he happens to be right, it's only by accident.

Coup d'état my brother, and Grover Norquist is an idiot, almost as bad as Trump but at least he tries to be decent sometimes compared to your slave master and cult leader.

That's because it's pretty much what it is.
