The Daily Parker

The South's misfortune is Chicago's benefit this week as a hot-air dome over Texas has sent cool Canadian air into the Midwest, giving us in Chicago a perfect 26°C afternoon at O'Hare—with 9°C dewpoint. (It's 25°C at IDTWHQ.) Add to that a sprint review earlier today, and I might have to spend a lot more time outside today.

So I'll just read all this later:

• The Justice Department and the XPOTUS have gone back and forth about what parts of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant to publicize, with the XPOTUS really wanting to find out who ratted them out.
• The XPOTUS's supporters forgot the cardinal rule of XPOTUS lies: it's always worse than it initially sounds.
• Former DHS Assistant Secretary Juliett Kayyem explains yet another way that the XPOTUS document theft has scared the bejesus out of our allies.
• Elizabeth Kolbert asks, "how did climate change become a partisan issue?"
• Jonah Goldberg asks, why do Republicans want to turn us into a banana republic?
• Pity Freya the Walrus, euthanized in Oslo this week because people couldn't leave the poor girl alone.
• The new owners of a $13-million Winnetka house from 1902 have decided to tear it down rather than renovate it.

Finally, the leader of the Westminster city council in London really wants to close down the "American" candy stores opening up all up and down Oxford Street.
