Tidbits September 26, 2025 BOROWITZ Nobel Peace Prize Committee Asks Trump to Clarify Remarks About Hating His Enemies NPR FANS Today (Friday) is Ari Shapiro’s last “All Things Considered.” I loved reading this interview. TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT This profile is a good read. Scott is too smart not to know that what he says in public is ridiculous. It’s what he says in private that matters more. Is he quietly an economic guardrail? Would things be even worse if he resigned on principle? What a nightmare. CHURCH AND STATE Rick T.: “I haven’t heard anyone suggest this yet, but for the first time in history we have a pope who is eligible to be president. Pope Leo XIV!” → Who I guess would be addressed, “Your Holiness, Mr. President.” PHONES In response to my Noble Mobile post . . . Bob F.: “One of my frugal, wealthy friends has this $15/month T-Mobile plan. He has Comcast (xfinity) for home internet and says he can access xfinity wifi hotspots (and others) often enough while out and about that the 5GB T-Mobile plan is more than sufficient. That will almost double your savings.” Lots more to say, but I’m letting you off easy today.
