The Week In Pictures
May 6, 2023 — Steven Hayward
Another week with more indications that we don’t even have a 9 to 5 commander in chief. More like 10 to 4, if we’re lucky. At least this White House is showing us what a four-day work week will look like when we decide to go Full France. Meanwhile, we hear rumors that Bud Light is plotting its comeback with an ad campaign on Fox News prime time, and they’re

So did Anheuser-Busch get to Rupert Murdoch and plead to have public ire redirected from Bud Light? Does anyone else think Tucker Carlson should launch a beer? (No, of course it couldn’t be light beer. Goes without saying.) Meanwhile, Buzzed Lighthead, AKA Joe Biden, is running again. Headlines of the week: And finally. . .

The Bud Light blunder is proving to have “legs,” as they say in the media business, as it brings into sharp relief the madness of our time. Surely senior management at Anheuser-Busch must be fuming about turning over stewardship of brand identity to an identity-monger. What did they think was going to happen? Too bad Bud Light doesn’t come as as ice cream, thus giving a fresh brain freeze to

Out here in California, where tobacco smoking is on the way to being made fully illegal but marijuana smoking will be mandatory, nothing is thought to be worse that “light bud,” that is, weed that is low in potency. Now I’m not a connoisseur of the evil weed, but I suspect the light bud version has to be superior to Bud Light just now. Of course, maybe they did find

First off, the important thing: Happy Easter and Passover to all our readers and listeners. We need it after this absurd week, which saw the U.S. justice system and Budweiser in a contest to see who could shred their credibility the most. Meanwhile, Chicago is jumping up and down at the back of the dullards classroom demanding to know, “Hey—what about me!” Seems Chicago voters misunderstood what “Let’s go Brandon!”

So Trump was indicted after all. Alvin Bragg must be secretly on Trump’s payroll (that’s the rumor I’m going to spread), as this is going to be the most famous perp-walk/campaign stunt since Socrates was hauled before Athens. Meanwhile, we’re going to get Fetterman back! His depression is “in remission,” the doctors say. What will he think when he gets back to the Senate floor? What could go wrong? Headlines

[NOTE to listeners: owning to tricky travel schedules, this week’s 3WHH podcast won’t appear until this evening or tomorrow morning.] So are we going to get a Trump indictment or not? Did Trump play the Democrats and the media again? Surely it won’t be the last time. Looks more like the real stormy weather is still in California. Or on bank balance sheets. Or in the economy, which may be about

Oh isn’t this cute: the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for his war crimes. I’m sure Russia will extradite him right away! Or Zelensky will arrest him when Ukraine sacks Moscow after we finally give him back the nuclear weapons we told Ukraine to give up to us 30 years ago in exchange for security guarantee. What’s that? Bank run you say? How can

If you watched closely, and know how to fight your way through the media fog machine, Democrats had a terrible week. Biden’s reversal on crime in DC, the apparent preparations for restoring some of Trump’s fascist border controls, AOC in trouble for her socialist ethics (yes, that’s an oxymoron), the panicked response to Tucker Carlson, Mayor Pete’s meltdown, and the beyond embarrassing performance of Democrats in House oversight hearings paints

Lori Lightfoot got the Bigfoot from voters. Anthony Blinken forgot to borrow Hillary’s magic “reset button” for his meeting with Russian foreign minister Lavrov. Biden’s student loan giveaway looks to be tookaway by the Supreme Court. We can call COVID the “Wuhan flu” again. And Kamala is being kept under wraps again, maybe because her chief wordsmith John Fetterman is suddenly unavailable. Headlines of the week: And

What a grand time to be alive. And even grander to be on a grand jury. Especially in Georgia, where apparently it is now the practice to make self-absorbed millennials the foreperson of grand juries. Still wondering if they/them swear in witnesses on the Gaia Cookbook or something. Meanwhile, speaking of having a grand time this week, we also have our Secretary of Transportation, Pee-Wee Herman, finally leaving his model

There is something fitting that an administration that emits mostly hot air would become obsessed with balloons. And if we’re not running low on munitions having shipped off so much of our inventory to Ukraine, shooting down weather balloons with $500,000 air-to-air missiles will surely finish the job of depleting our stocks. China must be having a good laugh. And Buttigieg had a good week, didn’t he? Headlines of

What is it about the kissing habits of Democrat Vice Presidential spouses? The last time we beheld a spectacle like the First Lady “Doctor” Jill smooching it up with the Second Gentleman at the State of the Union speech earlier this week was when Al Gore decided to make out with Tipper Gore in front of millions of Americans at the Democratic convention in 2000. How’d that work out for

So this was the week our (p)resident known chiefly for his hot air failed the hot air balloon challenge (though my theory is that the balloon has more classified documents that Biden pinched), while reassuring us that “More than half the women in my administration are women,” which might actually be true, which would make it the most brilliantly droll thing Joe Biden has ever said. Which is unlikely. Exit

I’m hawking a new bumper sticker: Honk if you DON’T have classified documents in your house. And have John Kerry and the other extraterrestrials left Davos yet for the mothership at Martha’s Vineyard? And does the high price of eggs explain why there is an egghead shortage—wait, there is no egghead shortage, if you listen to Biden and the World Economic Forum. The statistics are wrong! (Oh, and let’s beat

Hard to pick out a highlight and main theme for this busy week. Biden said Republicans are “demented” about the debt ceiling, but should Biden be throwing around that term so indiscriminantly? Send that man to the corner of his garage! The gas stove controversy continues to boil along at 24,000 BTUs per burner, while the Davoisie met for a fit of mass hysteria. Greta got herself arrested.

The original 1978 film Corvette Summer, which starred a youngish Joe Biden, fresh off his breakout role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, found our hero searching for a lost vintage Corvette, but along the way he purloined classified documents from the Empire, and hid them in the tailpipe, there being no pumpkins available in the fallow field of his mind. But at least he saved the mermaid-costumed Vanessa from adult-film
