- It’s funny how many people don’t realize Lassie is a female.
- The Mavs will be playing in Los Angeles against Luka and the Lakers, surely this will be the highest rates game of the week.
- I was a big fan of Furr’s Cafeteria back in the day. Yesterday, I spent more time than I would like to admit searching for the mashed potatoes recipe. I always started off with a hamburger or chopped steak topped with ketchup and two bowls of mashed potatoes and gravy.
- I feel sorry for all the government employees who followed proper procedures by scheduling and receiving approved time off and learned about Elon Musk’s absurd email, knowing they can only access their email at their assigned workstation or office. Just imagine leaving work on Friday using the paid time off you earned to visit a sick relative in another timezone or get married and hearing about that email on a Saturday evening, knowing you aren’t able to reply because you can’t access your email remotely because you had the gall to plan ahead and take a week of approved time off and travel.
- Anyone who has done more than a cursory read of the Kennedy Assassination will be familiar with the name Clint Hill. He was the Secret Service agent who jumped into the presidential limo in Dallas. He lived a life of much regret and guilt over the assassination. He’s one of those when you say RIP, you really mean it.
- I saw the Yankees announce that they will now play Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’ only after home wins. I didn’t know that they also played it during losses, and I was surprised to find out that Sinatra is not the original singer. Liza Minnelli first sang the song for the 1977 Martin Scorsese film New York, New York, and Sinatra performed it in a Don Costa arrangement in 1980. And here I thought it was recorded before the Seventies. I saw all that because, in my freshman year of high school, I had to dress as Liza Minelli and perform a lip-synched skit to the tune for a theater arts assignment. Sadly, Minelli has become something of a joke, even as she has won an Academy Award, a BAFTA, an Emmy, two Golden Globes, and four Tony Awards. Minnelli has said that her inability to have children is her biggest regret in life, but she has many nieces, nephews, and godchildren. Back in 2000, after a severe case of viral encephalitis, doctors told her she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair and perhaps not be able to speak again. She has a memoir coming out next year.
- Here’s an obscure find: The CIA posted all of Osama Bin Laden’s pirated videos found on his laptop when they raided his compound. They give you a heads-up that some of the material might be emotionally disturbing.
- This headline made me wonder how often the US, Russia, and North Korea have voted alike and in the minority – US joins Russia, North Korea and Belarus to vote against UN resolution on Ukraine war
- Elon Musk Asks for Reason US Can’t Afford Healthcare — Mark Cuban Gives 7 (and a Solution)
- Musk’s original question, “Shouldn’t the American people be getting their money’s worth?” cuts to the heart of the issue. It reflects a growing sentiment that Americans are paying exorbitant healthcare costs but not receiving adequate value.But Cuban — ever the problem-solver — didn’t stop there. He’s also presented a bold solution that could upend the pharmaceutical industry and force real change. The billionaire broke down where the system is failing and how he plans to fix it.
- American flag hung upside down from El Capitan at Yosemite National Park after employees fired
- When your real name is James Bond and you get asked for your ID by law enforcement can be an awkward situation.
