George W. Bush Isn’t Mad at Will Ferrell, His TV Counterpart

On “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the 43rd president set himself apart from the 45th in one conspicuous way: He laughed at himself.

All I can say for George W. Bush: he is not Donald Trump.

Everyone likes a story.

State Dept. Official Praises Mexican Efforts in War on Drugs

The endorsement, from an Obama administration appointee, comes as the Trump administration is taking a hard look at all aid to Mexico.

Under Trump, an Already Depleted I.R.S. Could Face Deep Cuts

The Trump administration is proposing a 14 percent decline in spending for the tax agency, which is bleeding staff, auditing fewer returns and making taxpayers wait longer for help.

Yes.

Jeff Sessions Has Stepped Aside on Russia. Here’s Who Could Step In.

The attorney general’s recusal after the disclosure of conversations between him and the Russian ambassador to the United States has sharpened a host of legal questions.

Another distraction.

AB InBev Finds Complexity Is a Drag on Savings

Anheuser-Busch InBev raised expectations for cutting costs in its deal for SABMiller, but it is getting harder to squeeze out more.

This is more an indicator of the size of these high production brewers.
The beers sell with narrow profit margins.
