News rhymes. Armin Laschet, Union's chancellor candidate in 2021 and still in the B'tag, was caught doing 97 in a 50 (km/h) in his home city of Aachen, and got his license pulled.

CUT!
VAL KILMER--PRETTY GOOD MOVIE STAR--DEAD at 65 OF THROAT CANCER.
GRA:I never knew he was ill from throat cancer,but I read just now,he has been for years. Val Kilmer certainly LOOKED like a movie star,maybe one of the last "finds" from a Hollywood that looked for White leading men. Oliver Stone's "The Doors" was a so so movie,but Kilmer's impersonation of Jim Morrison was energetic and realistic.
He was in "Tombstone" and "Top Gun" back in the day, though I don't recall him in those right now.
Smoker? I don't know.

REPUBLICANS TAKE TWO FLORIDA HOUSE SEATS
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won special elections Tuesday in two Florida congressional districts, bolstered by President Donald Trump’s endorsement to fill vacant seats in reliably Republican strongholds.
Patronis, the state’s chief financial officer, fended off a challenge from Democrat Gay Valimont even though she far outraised and outspent him. He will fill the northwest Florida 1st District seat vacated by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was chosen to be Trump’s attorney general but withdrew from consideration amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.
In north Florida’s 6th District, Fine won against Democratic challenger Josh Weil for a seat vacated by Mike Waltz when he was tapped to become Trump’s national security adviser.
The win bolsters Republicans’ margin to 220-213 in the House of Representatives.

Kilmer's impersonation of Jim Morrison just got a whole lot more realistic.
Florida - Patronis - well, okay, we'll see. The Gaetz thing never made sense to me. Why give up the seat when it was obvious that confirmation to A.G. was a a longshot? Now it's like he's in self-imposed exile on a remote podcast island, rarely mentioned even on right-leaning web sites. I'll always be grateful for him pulling the plug on McCarthy.
p.s. If you're reading this, Matt, I'd like to tell you about my long-ago donation to you that got stolen. Not huge but still enough to for almost a whole tank of gas. Several weeks' delay before it cleared. Back of the check image was blank, no endorsement. My useless (and now ex-) bank refused to investigate and tell me where it was deposited or just cashed. Maybe it was postal theft. Maybe it was an inside job by a staffer. It does not show up on https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00612432/?tab=raising
Republicans need to act fast on Trump's agenda before the Wisconsin Supreme Court redistricts and gives the DemonRats more Congressmen.
Gaetz didn't want to play the Groucho Marx hosted game,"You Bet You're Guilty",but was talked into it--with another famous political con artist.
Groucho:George,who are our next contestants?
Fenneman:A Mr. Matt Gaetz and a Miss Karen Bass.
Groucho:Gaetz and Bass,hmmm? Sounds like a law firm for a queer fish farm. All right,let's play "You Bet You're Guilty". I'll ask you a question--after we attach to you to the most accurate lie detector ever invented. If you answer the question without triggering our machine's sensor,you win. Ready?
(They nod nervously)
Groucho:Have you mean misused your office
in the past five years?
Bass and Gaetz:No.
(BZZZZZ)
Groucho:Well,I'm sorry,but our machine says you're guilty. Would you like to try again?
Bass:No.
Gaetz:Yes.
Groucho:Okay,Mr Gaetz. Did you personally take Henry Jacquarious Longfelon's donation and pocket it in some underhanded way?(Groucho's eyebrows go up and down,while chomping on his cigar).
Gaetz:No.
(BZZZZ).
Fenneman:That's two buzzers--you've lost the game.
Groucho:Well,you're both guilty,but thanks to the sorry state of law these days,you'll still be allowed to freely walk our streets--which is all a felon can ask for. Thanks for playing,"You Bet You're Guilty"--good night everyone.

I didn't proofread that one too well,did I? That's okay. My "smart" phone adds words automatically sometimes.

I can see all blue(black)states having THEIR OWN president--and Cory Booker wants the job.
