Bag of Randomness for the First of Two Fridays The Thirteenth of 2017
If I researched correctly, Donald Trump is not a pet owner, and he will be the second or third president to not have a pet in the White House. Some sources state Andrew Jackson did not have a pet, but I found contradictory sources. All seem to agree James K. Polk did not have a pet while serving as president. There is a possibility of Trump getting a goldendoodle named Patton, after the famous general. A descendant of General Patton is a godparent of DaughterGeeding, who happened to gift her a pure-bred Havanese puppy, who you know as DogGeedingII.
I’m sure a lot of you have a harsh opinion of Vice President Joe Biden, but for me, it was heartwarming to see such a genuine emotional reaction when President Obama surprised him by awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. We see so many public figures receive awards, but it’s the ones who can’t hide their emotions that really stick with ya because you know they really appreciate it.
I did get a kick out of this meme.
Pierce Bronson ran across my mind twice yesterday. I first read an article about how he allegedly pushed James Corden at a U2 concert, and then I learned the former Ex-MI6 agent connected with the Trump dossier is named Christopher Steele. That name made me think of Bronson’s character Remington Steele.
I wish Instagram pictures appeared on Twitter, I’m not a fan of having to click on a link to view a pic.
At some point during a presidency, there’s a tragedy and the president will play the role of “consoler-in-chief”. I’m not looking forward to any tragedies, but I’m curious to see how Trump will take the role.
I want Russian hackers to make all of Trump’s tweets appear in Comic Sans.
HBO’s mini-series ‘The New Pope’ will debut on Sunday and I think it will be great. Jude Law is great in almost anything and the idea of a corrupt American Pope in his forties is a neat storyline. Although I hear the pace of the show will be slow and will be a total of ten episodes, I think it’s going to worth viewing.
Looks like a trip down to Austin for that Mad Men exhibit is in order. There are few shows that I miss once they sign off, but that's one of them.
That "First Family" article states that the Trump camp has denied it. YOU'RE FAKE NEWS, GEEDING. 😉
The Biden moment really got me, too. Such a touching, "real" moment. I'm doubtful the next four years will contain many of those.
Good for Zeke. The more I hear about both him and Dak, the more I think the Cowboys are in good hands. As a life-long 'Skins fan, that's difficult to say. But since my son is a huge Cowboys fan, at least I can be happy for him.
nitpicking time:
the guy's name is Pierce BROSNAN, not Bronson.
Sorry, but I have a peeve about misspelling or mangling names. It irritates me every time they run that spot on the Ticket and mispronounce Kay Bailey Hutchi(n)son
That’s not nitpicking, I should be called out for misspelling a celebrity’s name. What actually happened is that I spelled it correctly the first time but spell check said it was wrong, and I trusted spellcheck. I didn’t trust the Force. I think Junior Miller used to be upset when Al Michaels used to say Michael Irving instead of Michael Irvin. But I always double check myself when it comes to Jason Witten, I keep wanting to but an “h” after the “W”.
I got all warm and fuzzy watching Biden receive the PMF. I've always liked "Uncle Joe". He's a good man and has devoted his life to the American people.
I loved the Biden moment too. Between that and the Zeke article, my heart and eyes are full.
