I was on CNN Saturday for an hour-long panel on civility, off of all the outbursts in this Month of Rage (tm). It was done remotely—meaning I simply had an ear-piece and was staring into the darkness of a camera the whole time—but it was a lot of fun. Relatedly, I can now cross “be on an hour-long panel on civility with Miss Manners” off my bucket list.

No Interrotron!?

I look somewhat unhappy here, but that’s an inaccurate depiction. I quoted a Chuck Norris fact (link #1) and, then, subsequently, served on a panel with former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and my childhood hero, Stan Lee (link #2).

What? Yes.

[Also, I saw (noted, odd Pablog-crush) former White House spokesperson Dana Perino backstage, but you would have known that if you followed me on Twitter!!!!!!1!!111]

“POWER RANKINGS” cracks me up every time.

I can talk for hours about this subject (quite literally, yadda yadda yadda), but it keeps coming up in the news. This time was most notable for the time I watched myself accidentally, briefly, gloriously become a black person. Enjoy.

Pablo’s been upgraded to panel member and is inching closer toward becoming a financial consultant to pro athletes.
