THE LIGHTER SIDE

God bless America, and how’s everybody?

■ Psychology Today reported a survey that found that the coronavirus pandemic in the past six months has resulted in isolation, self-obsession and irritability. I have a whole new set of pet peeves. I hate it when I’m texting and I’m rudely interrupted by a cyclist bouncing off my windshield.

■ “The Bachelor” was accused by critics of encouraging toxic behavior after a female contestant filed a restraining order on a rejected male contestant. It’s taken me decades of dating to figure this out but women are NOT looking for the perfect guy. They are looking for a way to eat without getting fat.

■ The Nixon Library unveiled dozens of letters between Nixon and Donald Trump in the 1980s and early ’90s in which Nixon urged Trump to run for president someday. This clearly shows the partisan divide in the afterlife. Democrats vote from the grave and Republicans send in the second string.

■ President Trump warned that electing Joe Biden would put the nation in the hands of the Chinese while Biden claimed that Trump is a tool of Russia. No one’s ever seen anything like it. The presidential election is shaping up to be a tight race between the Russians and the Chinese.
