Gloomy Friday

It's quite the accomplishment: making millions upon millions of Americans anticipate waking tomorrow, and thinking, "TGI... No God, Not Friday!"

A preview of tomorrow, from Scottish TV critic Damien Love—

It's official: when the Trumps dance at their ball, it will be not to the standard type of love song, but, to "My Way." And...

The Washington Examiner has learned that Trump plans to take the floor as the 45th president at the Liberty Ball just as Nashville-based jazz singer Erin Boehme delivers opening song "Mack the Knife," which will be live broadcast for tens of millions of Americans to watch on TV.

As with other things Drumpf, it's better in the original German: Die Moritat von Mackie Messer. Which can be translated, "The Murder Ballad of Mack the Knife."

Wiki entry for the song notes that the Threepenny Opera "opens with the moritat singer comparing Macheath (unfavorably) with a shark, and then telling tales of his robberies, murders, rapes, and arson."

Truly, an apt theme song. Technically, it may be only robbery and rape that are things he's done personally. Any others are easily hired out, when you know the right people.
