A dog as president would be worth it if for no other reason than the optics during that annual "pardoning of the Thanksgiving Turkey" ceremony.

Loved it. However, puns would have made it more dogmatic. This only sniffs at punny and is a little rough around the edges. I hope to spot more in part 2!

Hey Mike! I’ve been a fan of yours since the Hang Up and Listen days. It would be awesome for you to revive the sports commentary since it’s usually not a topic on the Gist so maybe easier to differentiate your Substack posts from the podcast. I don’t know of many Substacks outside of House of Strauss that really cover sports in general. There’s targeted podcasts for big sports like football, soccer and basketball, but some of my favorite segments from Hang Up and Listen were things like bull riding and America’s Cup sailing. But also I always just enjoyed your commentary and with the sports media consistently downsizing, it’s harder to find good analysis of sports topics online anymore.

Very interested in McWaffles cabinet appointments. Will he reach across the squirrel/cat divide? What breed will he choose for Secretary of Defense who may indeed loose the dogs of war?

I await the future part in which we meet the spouse of the new president, the First [expletive deleted].
