Legend has it one of my horrible drama teachers at a terrible school (I transferred out) told Kathleen Turner she would never amount to anything, so she went to New York and became, you know, KATHLEEN TURNER. The school tried to claim her as an alumni, so she sued them. This is the way.

I'm watching what happened in Alberta and it's like watching Brexit 2.0. We have learned nothing about protecting ourselves from propaganda. As someone I know once said, "In the 1980s, America chose to build bombs. Russia chose to learn how to weaponize psychology."

The last time there was a diesel crisis we got the oil traps from fast food joints and made biodiesel. And the freeways smelled like french fries.

There's a great/horrifying book called "1929" that details all of the factors leading to The Great Depression. And it is what is going on now. I wish we studied the takedown of the robber barons more in school.

The GOP wants us talking about this instead of Jack Smith saying: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation." They have no problem being clowns if it hides their crimes. If things flip, hold them accountable.

Watching a trailer for an upcoming action flick and the biggest suspension of disbelief I'm having is not the explosions or stunt driving. It's that the 50+ year old action hero still has kneecaps that will let him do those moves.

When Katie Dippold won her Emmy, the announcer noted she wrote the pilot for Widow's Bay 18 years ago. We should talk about that. There's so much gold already in writers' hard drives, going unmined because they're being forced to do a 10-person bake-off to adapt the Slinky.
