Prank in the un-making

Well, it looks like we'll not get to see President Donald J. "Cognitive Ace" Trump throw out a first pitch into a bunch of grinning Joe Biden cutouts anytime soon. Too bad.

This after the New York Yankees said it was news to them Cognitive Ace was going to throw the first pitch in Yankee Stadium August 15, as Cognitive Ace said he'd been asked to do. Apparently he took two ten-penny nails and a dab of spackle and turned it into the Taj Mahal -- which is to say, he took some vague discussion that the Yankees might let him throw out a first pitch in the Stadium at some point in time and turned it into a done deal.

In other words, he  made the whole thing up. As he has been known to do before.

According to some reports, this happened because Our Only Available Impeached Jealous President was unhappy that the Washington Nationals asked Dr. Anthony Fauci to throw out the first pitch on Opening Day. Apparently the Nats wanted someone respectable on the bump -- and, besides, Fauci is a huge Nationals fan.

Apparently Our Only Available Impeached Jealous President reacted to this with all the dignity and  grace we've come to expect from him. Which is to say, he threw his cereal bowl on the floor and decided he'd find (or in this case, invent) his OWN first pitch to throw out.

And in Yankee Stadium! That'll show 'em!

Good lord. The crazy, it just goes on and on.
