This is like the 2016 presidential race, probably. You defuse the retrograde clown-candidate sensibly, and good-humoredly, with a standard nose-honk, and nearly everybody exhales and goes home happy. The ones who don’t will be tuning-in to a new TV channel in a few months from now. Alas for them, the new channel will not get 36M viewers — not in one night, at least. Oh, well.

The Captain

Regular-season big-league ice hockey returned to La-La Land last night, but the home side did not get one of ’em so-called Hollywood endings; Claude Giroux & The Rest of The Philalala Flyers defeated the Kings, 4-2.
