The guy in the picture's a sorry piece of work, and you say so unapologetically. A special round of applause for the Wells Fargo rhyme.

Glad you enjoyed.

I was watching a basketball game with my husband a few nights ago, and it seemed as if every commercial break featured either the Facebook apology ad, the Uber apology ad, the Wells Fargo apology ad, or some combination from that group. Various permutations of We let you down, we're sorry, but we want to earn your trust again.

That tone was in pretty stark contrast with this week's messages from the White House: "I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?" among them. (Oh, and let's not forget when Double-Down Donald's spokesperson was caught in an obvious falsehood a few days ago, too.)

It probably doesn't change much to preach to the choir in this way, but it's therapeutic. Thanks for listening.
