Happy Thursday. Today is Quiet Day, a holiday invented by parents who took road trips before anyone invented iPads, portable DVD players or Ritalin.

THE GAMESMANSHIP OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VACANCY on the Supreme Court since 1991 is already reaching Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler” levels.

RECOGNIZING THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE ALL THE PROCEDURAL POWER in this Constitutional crisis and want to block anyone President Obama chooses, Democrats decided to toy with them Wednesday, with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid suggesting Obama might even appoint a moderate Republican – Nevada governor Brian Sandoval.

BUT EVEN SANDOVAL STANDS LITTLE CHANCE, as Republicans' shortlist of Obama’s nominees that they would confirm to the Court is real short: it reads, “No one, loser. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain”

THE GOP PRIMARY reached OJ-getting-arrested-for-stealing-his-memorabilia levels of karma on Wednesday.

YOU MAY REMEMBER that in the 2012 season of “Republicans Engage in a Bizarre Pageant to Pick a Man to Run the Free World,” Mitt Romney lost the South Carolina primary partly because he seemed to sweat blood and teeth whenever anyone asked him to reveal his tax returns.

AS A MAN WHO LOVES BOTH IRONY AND JOKES he’s heard from his accountant, Romney went on Fox News Wednesday to demand that Donald Trump – whom he fears could be his party's nominee – disclose the details of his finances.

BY SUGGESTING THERE'S "LIKELY TO BE A BOMBSHELL" in Trump’s returns, Romney’s attack was as carefully timed and aimed as flatulence designed to clear a bridal shower.

THANKS TO FACEBOOK, “Like” has become one of the most meaningless words in the English language. As the only permissible quick reaction to a post on the world’s most popular social network/communicable disease, we like everything.

OH, YOUR CHIHUAHUA GOT A NEW TOOTH?! LIKE. Your boss told you that your Kid Rock tank top isn’t “professional” but then promoted you? LIKE. Your grandma is in the hospital. LIKE. But she’s just there to meet dudes! LIKE. LIKE. LIKE.

THAT ALL CHANGES NOW. If you press down on the Like button on your phone or hover over it with your mouse on a desktop PC, you will now see your choice of six other emotions or emojis that people are allowed to have/use: Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad or Angry.

THE FEATURE IS ROLLING OUT to the more than a billion members of the site over the next week and your aunt’s new boyfriend should be “WOW”ing your posts by Sunday.

NO, THERE ARE NOT WORMS IN BAGS OF LIPTON TEA. Unless you put your worms in there for safekeeping.

AMAZING GRACE—A Chinese gang returned a Labrador stolen from a blind masseuse after discovering that it was a guide dog, which means the dog was so well trained it helped them find a speck of human decency.
