Today I came across this wonderful musical group called the New York Classical Players.  See more at this Vimeo page.

Here's a clever comment by Don Surber, in a post titled "Obama made ISI, Trump destroyed it": "In a New York Times op-ed column, Susan Rice called President Donald John Trump the biggest threat to world security. Which means he is bringing peace because Miss Rice is a proliferate prevaricator. She is one of the left's many liars who lie out of habit.

The real threat to global peace was the fellow they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to."

Dave Barry's 2018 in review contains items such as this one, for May:  "…the biggest story by far is the wedding of American ex-actress Meghan Markle to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, who is in the direct line of succession to the British throne behind Prince Louis of Cambridge, who is behind Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, who is behind Prince George of Cambridge, who is behind Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, who is behind Charles, Prince of Wales, who is 70 but any year now could get his shot at becoming the anachronistic ceremonial figurehead of one of the world’s most second-rate powers. With the stakes so high, the media giddiness level soars to Defcon 1; the wedding cake alone gets more media coverage than Africa and global climate change combined."
