One of the greatest ever moments on Parkinson came in 1982 when BUDDY RICH — born 109yrs ago today — and ROY CASTLE improvised the hell out of it in order to buy time for a late arriving special guest - one SAMMY DAVIS JR. Wonderful stuff.

We roll out the red carpet for Putin and Xi while we shit on our closest allies daily. The American government under Trump and his cultist Republican Party is a disgrace.

After seeing Bryan Cranston in ‘Breaking Bad’ ANTHONY HOPKINS wrote this wonderful letter to the show’s star full of admiration for Cranston's performance, claiming it to be the best acting he's ever seen.

And just like that, Republicans have no problem with a sitting president making billions in office on crypto scams, from foreign governments and oligarchs, and industries directly impacted by his orders, policies and regulations.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

I remember when FBI director William H. Webster did keg stands in the locker room with Herb Brooks and the Miracle on Ice team after winning the gold in 1980. That G-man never failed to bring the party wherever he went.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles 
WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

This is absolutely crazy. I escorted him and his family around the Oakland Coliseum shortly after the Twins drafted him with our first pick in 1992. We set up a locker for him in the clubhouse next to Kirby. Serafini was a quiet, intimidated high schooler and his parents couldn’t have been nicer.
