The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Supreme Court Packing – Oh good gravy, FDR tried this and didn’t work and Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” it’s not going to work this time…If every new administration gets to expand Supreme Court, court expected to have 5,237 members, meet in Madison Square Garden, by time this half-century is out.
2. Kimberly Potter – White, chick officer who shot, killed Black man after initially offering a taser shot was actually a training officer…Officers training under Potter’s guidance told to disregard lesson of firing gun after shouting “taser”, referred to official department policy on matter.
3. Lauren Daigle – Single You Say extends all-time Billboard chart record for most weeks at #1 with 125th non-consecutive week at top of Hot Christian Singles chart…Envious Morman Tabernacle Choir’s attempt hot, Christian rendition of patriotic songs in time for 4th of July chart run hits snag when arrangers unable to find suitable backbeat for reboot of Battle Hymn of the Republic.
4. Afghanistan Troop Withdrawal. – About time, as this yet another war that was not declared by Congress despite fact Constitution mandates Congress declares war…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters to remain vigilant, however, “pretty sure” they’ll remain skeptical until this actually happens.
