The New York Post quoted futurologist Ian Pearson, who studies the confluence of technology and humanity, predicted that by 2025, women will be having sex more with robots than with men. I'd like to add one warning. Women, if you think the men you date have a screw loose now, just you wait.

The National Comedy Center in Jamestown named its theater after the legendary TV producer George Schlatter. He remains my mentor to this day. With his encouragement I've spent my career telling political jokes and the only problem I found with political jokes is that too often they get elected.

Democratic Party consultant James Carville accused Trump of scheduling a rally in New York's Madison Square Garden as a tribute to a Nazi Party rally that was held there in 1939.

Kamala Harris went on a media blitz last week giving interviews to CBS 60 Minutes, ABC's The View, CBS Good Morning and a Gen X women's podcast. Then Friday, Kamala's picture was on the cover of Vogue. That's a lot better than President Biden did, whose photo made the cover of Morgue.

VP candidate Tim Walz looked flustered when he went hunting with his shotgun and some men Monday, but Tim showed great comedy talent. Three times he had a clear shot at Bugs Bunny and missed. I'm just glad I don't have to hunt for my food, because I don't even know where sandwiches live.
