OK, boys and girls: There’s been much gossip out there that despite the fact that I am a congenital Democrat who daily gives thanks to The Creator that The Creator did not make me a Republican, I actually share much in common with Donald Trump. Perhaps so. DT and I are essentially the same age. We both went to Penn for our undergraduate studies, and we both have a bunch of ex’s. While we do not share the same religion, we both love Israel and the Jewish people.
But most important, I think, is that we both believe this maxim taught to us by a legendary Penn professor of religious studies: “If it rhymes, it must be true.”

I wonder if the Kremlin’s Komcast rates are better than those we get here.
Is it possible that even a decent Republican might represent a danger to us?!
There will always be that rare Republican who occasionally steals a glimpse ahead— beyond the 11th century.

Fortunately, this pumpkin finds himself with access to an excellent “PPO” (Pumpkin Provider Organization).
Proper medical care for pumpkins is no joke, boys & girls— especially on Halloween.
“TUSM,” by the way, stands for Tufts Univ. School Of Medicine— my med school alma mater. Fabulous school. Located in Boston— a cool city that even Philadelphians can appreciate.
