On the coffee table in the fading resort club in South Florida is the model of an imaginary Presidential plane painted with the red and black colors of a long-closed air shuttle service, which the airline's erstwhile owner named after himself before going bankrupt.
Ex-President derided the blue of Air Force One as a “Jackie Kennedy color” that needed to be banished, but watch who gets the last laugh. Same with Mrs. Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden, which he eviscerated after publicly insulting her daughter.
Did ex-President have the mausoleum-like “Tennis Pavilion” built so that the White House tennis court would never again look the way it did when President Obama played basketball there?
Has anyone explained who made sure that the new President and First Lady were locked out of the White House front door when they arrived on January 20?

While waiting to return to power in Argentina, the ousted dictator Juan Peron kept remains of his venerated wife Eva, dead for two decades, in open casket on his Madrid dining table, where Peron’s third wife, Isabel, combed Eva’s hair every day.
Not sure people enjoyed dining with Juan Peron and both of his wives (living and dead) when he was in exile in Madrid.
At one point, Eva Peron’s over-embalmed remains, which the exiled Juan kept on his Madrid dining table, were gold. This perhaps suggests that Juan, with lots of time on his hands, had seen and wished to emulate the star of “Goldfinger.”

Now van der Veen returns to his angry vaudeville act — simulates having handcuffs clapped on his wrists.
Van der Veen thumps his chest like King Kong.
Who taught van der Veen how to do this bad Edward G. Robinson initiation?

OK, how do we describe the inevitable TV sitcom based on Castor, Schoen and van der Veen all living together in the same crazy rowhouse in Philadelphia?
“Clod Squad."
“No Coup for You” (with apologies to Jon Lovett)

Does Pence have any particular known reaction to his ex-boss having put his life at risk?
Pence is not exactly the image of “Don’t Tread on Me” — maybe the opposite.
Assume that the Fly has not been invited to testify before the Senate today.

Would guess that yesterday's Screen Actors Guild letter was not first time in his life that this ex-President has told someone, “You have done nothing for me."
Perhaps someone could now please make bumper stickers that say, “You have done nothing for me."
“You have done nothing for me."

Hope that Pence never tries to claim that he didn’t try to turn himself into Trump’s Mini-Me (Alex Wong / Getty):
At the moment, Pence seems to be sheltering indoors with his donors. Both of them.
Am sure that by now, Pence has excused Trump for that silly little happy-to-have-him-killed incident.
