I smiled to see that our President described a weapon in development as a “super-duper missile.” I smiled because the adjective super-duper took me back to high school (c1960). A classmate’s father and uncle ran a small metal-work manufacturing business. One of their more successful products, one ahead of its time, was the Super-duper Puppy Pooper Scooper. Product names like this are delightful to high school boys, so I remember it well.

The United States really needs something super-duper, but not a missile. What we need is more like a Super-duper Trumpy Blooper Scooper. Our President’s staff, the G.O.P., and Fox News (his very own Pravda) have to follow him around, ready to get rid of his droppings. They could use a Scooper.
