A River Runs Through It. RFK Jr., The Poet Laureate of Porn Makes His Literary Debut

Just Another Day In Trump World: All Cringe and Creeps.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the raspy-voiced, leather-backed health crank who somehow failed upward into the Cabinet, has given us many gifts during his improbable resurrection: conspiracy theories about vaccines, a dead bear in Central Park, a brain worm he discussed on camera with the casual air of someone mentioning a tennis injury. Heroin as a study aid. And the man who pushed his ex-wife to kill herself. It makes you beg the question: can this man get anymore cringe?

Yup.
