Arnold Palmer Hated Donald Trump, Actually

Almost as if The Discourse sensed my return to the blogging mill, Donald Trump’s mushroom soup brain decided to spend a portion of his Saturday rally pontificating on the beauty and majesty of Arnold Palmer’s massive schlong. That’s right. Everything you’ve been seeing about this is real. It happened. — Hey, remember when we knifed Joe Biden because of one bad debate then he negotiated a hostage release and spoke eloquently on foreign policy days later? Yeah… — Naturally, this story could only end in one way: Arnold Palmer’s family coming out and saying the iconic golfer was disgusted after seeing Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign in action. The two men were cordial, but when Trump unleashed MAGA, Palmer basically called him an idiot then died shortly thereafter. Dude wasn’t sticking around to see what comes next, and frankly, I respect that. Baller move. (Mediaite)

Narfna is glad she took a chance on Craig Brown’s unusual biography, Q: A Voyage Around the Queen. “This isn’t so much a book about Queen Elizabeth II, but a book about how she affected the world around her throughout the 70+ years of her rule (and some before that as well).” Do you have a favorite biography?
