                    The most alarming thing about this clown crisis is that

                    there could literally be hundreds of them in a single car.

SKIPNOTE: Last Wednesday, I received the following email from Sue L., an irate subscriber:  

Don't want to receive your emails anymore when I saw the piece about Trump supporters. 

I don't appreciate. Please remove me from your list.

Well, Sue, allow me to publicly apologize profusely. I am dismayed by the fact that something on this mailing list actually offended you. That certainly wasn't my direct intent, and I hope you'll be able to quickly heal from the severe and intense emotional trauma you must be going through. As per your request, your name and email address will be removed from this mailing list.  However, before we part ways forever, in my own humble way, let me offer up to you something that will express just how remorseful I am for posting that particular link. Namely, the following:
