With one exception: no one has requested Nurse Clancy
Unfortunately this is not satire
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said President Donald Trump âinvaded last June with federal troops for no reason at all to intimidate a whole sector of our population, Latino immigrants.â
She says it like itâs a bad thing. You donât have to keep selling it, Karen. I was already in favor.
Karens are the bane of my existence
I think you had to be in SoCal in the 1980s to appreciate the Larry H. Parker phenomenon.
Between the commercials and billboards, he was ubiquitous, a big part of my childhood

ChatGPT:
Larry H. Parker was a Southern California television advertising legend in the 1980s and 1990s.
Those personal injury commercials were everywhere.
âLarry H. Parker got me $2.1 million!â
That booming, dramatic delivery became part of Southern California pop culture.
Which makes your penguin video even funnier. Itâs a perfect parody of those old commercials: a penguin slips, and suddenly thereâs a multimillion-dollar personal injury settlement.
Anyone who grew up watching Southern California television in the '80s would get the joke immediately.
Parkerâs client was literally the head of his department

Getting back to the penguins for a momentâŚ
A guy walks into a bar and orders a shot, gulps it down, then asks the bartender, âHow tall are penguinsâ?
The bartender says; âabout a foot and a half I think.â
He orders another shot gulps it, and then asks; âHow tall is the tallest penguinâ?
The bartender replies; âI think some are as tall as three feetâ.
The guys says; âyou better leave the bottle, I think I ran over a nun.â
( as an aside, tearful day for me, six years ago today, I lost my wife. Maybe because itâs a Saturday as well?)
An email exchange with a good friend that day:
Isnât this whole French riot thing a big opportunity for âHitler Rantsâ? But I see none.
Brennt Paris?
