My friend's elderly father-in-law happened to meet Billie Holiday in a Manhattan dive in 1947. After chatting a while, she produced a joint (from her bra) and they smoked it together right at the bar. Ladies and gentlemen, I clasped a hand that once passed a joint to and from Billie Holiday.
The Bee Gees songs on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. When it came out I thought all disco was Satan's work. But now I see the sheer brilliance of it.
It's a rhetorical question, right?
Reasons? Don't need em.
[Polishes and replaces monocle, takes drag from cigarette holder, exhales:] Any further questions?
Can I call it all three?
I was in Hungary when it happened, and when I told my wife she said "oh that's gotta be fake!" even BEFORE we saw the absurd tableaux with his upraised fist. As if.
Meanwhile if it had been real, he'd still be talking about it endlessly. Like every single other thing with this grifter, it's a lie.
Sigh.
Like stepping into some other dimension.

Always a little slow to catch up, these people.
Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.
If we ever get power again, this should be priority number one. Even before we start prosecuting this administration.
Back up! Yay!
The incredible strudel at Buda Rétesvár will warm me!

"Calling Dr. Trump... emergency... Dr. Trump...?"
5/ with wonder, can't hear enough about this miracle. And so like Scheherazade, Cooper has to keep spinning tales of Lily Langtry to keep himself from being hanged. Walter Brennan won the third of his Oscars as Bean (let's not talk about the other two times), and finally managed to deserve it.
4/ of stealing a horse. Accusations are enough for Bean, who declares him guilty and sentences him to death on the spot. Cooper saves himself by claiming to have met Lily Langtry himself -- a friend, actually. With a souvenir lock of her golden hair stashed aways someplace. Bean, wide-eyed...
3/ Texas for her extreme beauty and high social standing. Bean has images of her plastered all over his bar, er courtroom, and he's been known to deal out harsh justice to men who don't pay her tribute loudly enough. Into this crazy setup wanders Gary Cooper, as a drifter wrongly accused...
2/ a rascally old varmint who holds court in the town's only barroom and uses the law -- what little he knows of it -- to hang anybody who crosses him. Or says something he doesn't like. He's got one human weakness: he's madly in love with Lily Langtry, the English actress known as far away...
Now Playing: THE WESTERNER (1940). One of a mere handful of comedy Westerns, though it's played quite straight and becomes a little more sober (and less wonderful) in its second half. The premise is fantastic: in 1882, the dust-and-spit town of Vinegaroon, Texas is lorded over by "Judge" Roy Bean...
The Republican Party has been building Potemkin villages and planting them with stooges extolling the wonders of oligarchy for the last 45 years.
You know, usually dementia patients don't have access to the world's biggest megaphone, the world's most powerful military, or — and here's the really funny part — nukes.
