To borrow a line from Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump lives rent-free in CNN's head. They are obsessed with him: with what he says, what he does, what he wears, where he goes, how he looks, and with whom he associates. I wonder whether they dream about him. Probably so. When x lives rent-free in y's head, x is winning.

Tomorrow night, instead of dispensing candy, I'll be dispensing advice:

• Respect your elders.
• Do your homework.
• Be nice to your siblings.
• Don't betray confidences.
• Exercise.
• Abstain from alcohol.
• Learn about the past.
• Obey the household rules.
• Take care of your animal companions.
• Respect your body by not mutilating it with piercings or tattoos.

I hope my house doesn't get egged.

Here is the first Playoff Ranking.

As a lifelong resident of Squirrel Hill, I am devastated by Saturday’s events. I personally knew three of the victims and my husband knew two others.

We are furious that Donald Trump is planning to visit Pittsburgh after his ridiculous comments about having armed guards in places of worship. He is part of the problem, not the solution. His rhetoric encourages sick individuals, especially white supremacists.

CNN and others in the Fake News Business keep purposely and inaccurately reporting that I said the “Media is the Enemy of the People.” Wrong! I said that the “Fake News (Media) is the Enemy of the People,” a very big difference. When you give out false information – not good!
