It is tempting to do a Mid-Week in Pictures special offering today because I have a lot of great material accumulating in my Week in Pictures folder for this Saturday—way more than I will be able to use already. But I don’t want to overdo it. Instead, herewith a post on just two pictures, because each has a good story. First up:
As it happens, I once got the opportunity, about two-and-a-half years ago, to ask Rudy Giuliani about this round of golf: “What was that like?” He answered that Clinton cheated on virtually every hole, usually by hitting more than one shot off of every tee, and while claiming he’d only hit the first shot out in the fairway, actually always played the best tee shot. He slowed up play so much that Bloomberg quit the round in disgust at the 13th hole. Trump, he said, is a good golfer, though I’ve heard different assessments of his golfing prowess, so your mileage may vary.
Our pal David Deeble comments on Michael Bloomberg (probably) entering the presidential race: “If Michael Bloomberg thinks Americans will elect a Manhattan billionaire whose changed his party affiliation multiple times then he’s got another thing… never mind.”
But speaking of Deeble, he recently earned a 12-hour timeout from Twitter for the sin of posting this meme, which Twitter says “violates its ‘community standards’:
That’s where are are folks. You can find actual pornography on Twitter, but apparently you can’t make fun of a disgraced Democratic member of the House.
“If it weren’t for Dad Jokes I’d have no jokes at all! Wah-wah, Bada*Tisk, and Ugh on me.”
Some folks like to hit a golf ball 300 yds,
I like to hit a golf ball at 300 yds.
“If it weren’t for Dad Jokes I’d have no jokes at all! “

When I golf, my handicap is my swing!
Golf is a sport where the ball usually lies poorly but the player well.
True sports require risk to life and limb, e.g. bull fighting and motor sports. Therefore golf is just a game.
LOL! Me too.
Haha. The headmaster of my high school was fond of comparing guys’ SAT scores to bowling scores. At that time 200 was the lowest SAT score (math or verbal) and 800 was the highest.
I do not agree.
Many extreme sports are solitary affairs in their nature. Men may learn a lot about themselves but still only manage to learn little about others.
Golf of course is not a team sport, so don’t think I’m saying the opposite is true if it. It is simply a less risky form of sport where a man confronts nature and circumstances on his own.
Exchange the word “sport” for “game” and I’ll agree with you. Any dweeb can “play” golf. Get on a sport bike and race it around the track at 180 mph with other men and now you have a sport!
So baseball isn’t a sport?
