Arrr, we can't be sailin' this way, matey! 'Tis like tryin' to fish with a wooden leg!

Gail Collins: Avast, Bret! I be itchin' to chat 'bout the grand debate and such political tomfoolery, but first — a wee bit o' attempted murder! Bret Stephens: Aye, this be the wrong kind o' "déjà vu," if ye catch me drift. Gail: 'Tis a dark day when "but first — attempted murder" be the norm. Let’s unfurl this tale, matey!
Ahoy, me hearty! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of political folly and attempted shenanigans! Gail Collins, the fair lass, be wishin’ to parley with Bret Stephens about the ruckus of presidential debates, but lo! She be startin' with a tale of attempted assassination! Aye, that be the world we sail in, where such treachery be merely the appetizer before the main course of political banter!Bret, savvy as a seasoned sea dog, quips that this be a case of “déjà vu all over again” – a phrase that be not lost on this nautical soul! 'Tis a dark time when talk of gun culture be the mainstay of our discourse, yet here we be, shakin' our heads at the absurdity of it all. An attempted assassination, ye say? Well, that ain’t no ordinary day on the high seas of politics!
So, with a hearty laugh and a jest, they dive into the murky waters of current affairs, where cannons roar in the form of heated debates and the crew be as divided as a ship in a storm. Let us raise a tankard to the absurdity, and mayhap find some humor in the chaos of our times! Aye, that be the pirate's way!
