We need to work, laugh, and eat the way we did before Sept. 11. That’s why it’s absolutely vital that I get my medium-rare shell steak with roasted vegetables in the next 10 minutes. Because if I don’t, well, then the terrorists have already won.
That is difficult, because under Trump, reality is often more satirical of the recent past than the onion can stretch credulity.
Hence why they share these classics.
