As if being killed yesterday wasn’t discouraging enough for Osama bin Laden, today Donald Trump insisted he produce an official death certificate. He also questioned how bin Laden ever got into Al-Qaeda considering his poor grades in bombmaking high school. “I heard he was a terrible student and then suddenly he’s the world’s top terrorist?,” Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Let’s face facts, the guy was not a businessman of my stature and the real reason he got buried at sea was because he knew I could sell him down the river.” 

A question for Mr. Trump re the commotion he generated over President Obama’s place of birth. Don, where’s your wife from?  I ask because she’ll be the First Lady if you run and, God forbid, win. She’s from Utah, right? No? Ohhhh, Yugoslavia!  Yugo, girl!  Now I remember – our President must be American born but there is no such law regarding his wife. Melania Trump would certainly bring unique qualities to the White House. True, she has not been elected to any office, but she has had elective surgery in many offices.

Two things are suddenly startlingly clear: Trump’s a toxic gasbag and bin Laden sleeps with the fishes and so begins the merry month of May.We’re in the home stretch for the photography on the new book and on schedule for fall publication.  We’re approaching 350 blankets shot.  Not all will make the final cut, but one that definitely will is this singular Pendleton round corner from a wonderful Florida collection. Although it doesn’t belong to Donald Trump, he’s honored and proud to take credit for it.
