Trump Thoughts. I Have Them.
Anyone
who doesn't understand how we got to Trump never noticed that while
Josiah Bartlet may have been our greatest President, his Deputy White
House Communications Director was a Tea Party guy. Sad!
Only Fools du Jour
Of course as Xmastime fans you're well-versed in Del Boy trying to speak French; here's Sir David Jason telling Michael McIntyre the story of how “Bonnet de douche” came about:
Ron Glass
Thoughts. I Have Them.
Whatever
you think of either one, it's hard to imagine back-to-back presidents
being more different in character and temperament than Obama &
Trump.
Irony du Jour
If you somehow physically combined the heads of Josiah
Bartlet, Sam Seaborn & Josh Lyman, they would create one image:

Generational Shift
My nephew has had a somewhat different childhood experience than I had...he just asked me what "Kool Aid" is.
Goals. I Have Them.
My only real goal in life is to become rich enough to live in hotels. Well, and dunk a basketball.
Thoughts on Castro Dying du Jour
Curious to see how Trump takes credit for being the President that finally gets Castro.
Fidel Castro Has Died
Xmastime from 8 years ago:
I remember reading once that there had been 638 attempts to assassinate Castro, making me wonder who was behind all these failed attempts. I arrived at one obvious conclusion:
Damn.
Damn. Just last night had stumbled onto a Barney Miller episode for the first time in years. :(
Shoulda Seen It Coming

Weekend!
Conversations with a 1st-grader:
Her: do you know my friend ___________?
Me: no.
Her: how about ____________?
Me: why on earth would I know these people? Are these famous first graders?
Her: no.
Me: ok then.
Her: do you know my friend ___________?
Me: no.
Her: how about ____________?
Me: why on earth would I know these people? Are these famous first graders?
Her: no.
Me: ok then.
(Long pause)
Her: do you know _____________?
(I hurl myself out of window)
Her: do you know _____________?
(I hurl myself out of window)
Weekend!
Weekend!
Weekend Thoughts. I Have Them.
When crawling under a coffee table, the odds of an infant forgetting
he's under a coffee table when sitting back up is approximately 100%.
Thoughts. I Have Them.
Maybe
the people who have been whining about a war they lost 150 years ago
can give people upset about losing the election to Trump a whole week to
"get over it."

Mootza!
can these people eat ANYthing that’s not fucking uber-Italian? Wtf? Every fucking piece of food, its pasta, it’s bruschetta, blahblahscotti. I understand pasta et al is your culture’s go-to meal, I’m cool with that – big celebratory meal, break out the spaghetti bolognese. But Tony comes waddling down the stairs in his robe, peeks his head in the fridge, and asks for what – piece of pie? Leftover meat loaf? No, of course he’s screaming “what happened to all the fucking Gnocchi di semolino??!!!” And Carmen never shoots back with “Sit down and shut up, I’ll make you a tuna fish sandwich”, she’s always like “I’ll make some pansotti alla genovese, go get dressed!” - XMASTIMEAnd now, an explanation on how New Jerseyians talk.

Happy Birfday BBC!
You people know how much I love the BBC, particularly in the last 2 years (for fuckssake I made up a bracket tournament.) And what debuted 80 years ago today? The BBC!
Here's the Top Landmark Moments since it's first broadcast.
Of course they missed one.

I Don't Care About HIstory
The street at the high school The Ramones went to has been renamed The Ramones Way:
They're officially the coolest kids to come out of Forest Hills High in Queens, N.Y., and that's saying something. The street where the Ramones — Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy — went to high school is now named for them, as they beat out other former students such as Burt Bacharach, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.While I'm always happy anytime The Ramones get any of their well-deserved attention, it's curious this is the street they've chosen since one of their most famous songs is all about hating high school and provided the title to a movie in which they blew one up.
It's a natural fit for a band that personified street-tough punk rock to have a street named for it — and the band now has two in New York City alone. The new one's at 67th Ave. and 110th, where hundreds of fans gathered for a renaming ceremony Sunday. Already on the map: Joey Ramone Place on the Lower East Side, near the former home of the CBGB club.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's...well, Paul Reiser.
Seems wildly ambitious. Hope they can pull this off:
Exactly. I love that movie. It’s really not about mocking show business at all. That’s just the backdrop. It’s just a really comfortable and familiar background. The bonus is we get all these great clips that you’re seeing in the course of a show. There’s Albert Brooks when he was 22 or here’s Steve Martin’s second appearance or here’s Sammy Davis doing Sammy Davis. Its fun to see. You might not want to sit and watch a whole show, but to get little doses of it while you’re telling your story is really nice.
