Trump mispronounces “cognitive” while demanding tests for presidential candidates: "I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in, and all of a sudden, you're stuck with a man who's a moron."

Dolly Parton spent, what, 70 years in the public eye? And in all that time, all she ever did was bring joy to people. That's a legacy beyond the reach of praise.

"ESPN personality Pat McAfee released an album of original music on Friday. Critics say if the album is played backwards, the listener could hear hidden demonic messages. More worrying still, if the album is played forward, the listener could hear original music by Pat McAfee."

Tip for Democrats if we want to win elections:

We could instantly improve our party's brand if we showed more grace
