WASHINGTON — President Trump defied his intelligence agencies and ample circumstantial evidence to declare his unswerving loyalty to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, asserting that the crown prince’s culpability for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi might never be known. NYT
Since Trump doesn't like to place blame
except when he's losing the game,
he'll back the crown prince
with barely a wince,
no matter the alibi lame.

Canned pumpkin filling tastes better, Ms. Parks says. But it has a dark secret. It is made from a sweet gourd with yellowy orange skin known as the Dickinson pumpkin. Ms. Parks and others argue that the Dickinson is no pumpkin, however. They call it a squash. WSJ
My pumpkin pie is made of squash?
That is a felony, by gosh!
When you can't trust a pumpkin can
it's time to quit and move to Cannes.

No matter what you call it — overtourism, overbooked or a foreign invasion — it’s the same squeeze: A handful of destinations around the world are under siege by too many tourists. The stampede is having a deleterious effect on the culture, environment and spirit of these places. Locals are getting pushed out. Foundations are crumbling. Tourists are complaining about other tourists. WaPo.
A tourist who went to Paree
was treated like a detainee;
so Venice he tried,
but "scio!" they cried --
he drowned himself in the Dead Sea.
