People are always talking about how computers and robots will take over the world; how AI will be the downfall of humanity.  But I\u2019m not completely sure that automation can do everything humans can.  For instance, when we need a new organ, we can harvest it from healthier beings…or victims of tragic accidents.  Computers still need us to buy replacement components from Amazon Prime <\/em>or Best Buy <\/em>and install them.  Without us, that PC in my bedroom which is still running Windows XP would be a big hunk of dust \u2013 which it probably is!  But for the past 30 years, I\u2019ve written each and every one of these columns on that high-tech machine.  So, who\u2019s laughing now?<\/p>\n

The one who\u2019s laughing right now is me.  They say when you slip on a banana peel, it\u2019s a tragedy.  When you see someone else slip on a banana peel, it\u2019s a riot.  Then you have some woman asking Mitch McConnell <\/strong>how he feels about the ICE <\/em>raids while he\u2019s walking.  On his best day, you can\u2019t expect Mitch to walk and talk simultaneously.  We witnessed his hard drive crash right in front of us.  And, like a non-human being, he got up and kinda shuffled along…as if nothing happened.  Without some new parts from Amazon Prime<\/em>, it\u2019s only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile across the pond, Prince Andrew <\/strong>was stripped of all royal titles.  Well, that\u2019s not completely true.  He allegedly gave them up voluntarily \u2013 due to the imminent release of the Epstein <\/strong>files.  When Diana <\/strong>lost her titles, they were in fact stripped.  So you can bet your bottom ruble the same thing happened to Andy.  Unless you actually believe this story \u2013 in which case, I\u2019ve got some cheap land to sell you in Yalta!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
