Legendary Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona died of heart failure at age 60; Der Furor and his allies continued their relentless attempts to overturn the results of the presidential election; a New York state couple found more than 66 bottles of Prohibition-era whiskey hidden in the walls and floorboards of their home, which was built in 1915; Der Furor pardoned (by tweet, of course) his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty (twice) to lying to the F.B.I. about his conversations with a Russian diplomat; and in the Sri Lankan town of Ampara, authorities have resorted to digging a moat around the local garbage dump to keep elephants from scavenging and harming themselves by eating plastic waste.

And you think you have problems with masks ...

The unforeseen consequences of mask wearing ...

All that training gone to waste ...

And that's the way it is so far in 2020. Need something else to laugh at? Come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday, when The Parody Project meets Paul Simon. More thoughts then.
