"charismatic" figures like Alan Dershowitz
"When I think of charisma, I think of three names: Gary Cooper, JFK--"
"Dersh?"
"Actually, I was going to say Grignr of Ecordia." (How's that for a cut so deep you'll need stitches?)
I love it when the comments send me down a Google black hole and I pop out feeling I've discovered a new universe. :)
Patterns of Force?
Hat-tip to Fred Sanford—he will always hold a special place in the history of TV America. Fred's recall was correct—Myrna Loy was a charming performer! Myrna Loy is still best remembered for the "Thin Man" movies with William Powell . . .
Apprentice casting of RFK Jr., Bondi, Krash Patel, to Halligan. If any of these surprise you. Wait for the Ghislaine Maxwell pardon followed by Her nomination to replace the coaxed into retirement Justice Alito and every republican votes to confirm her to the SCOTUS.
As Snagglepuss would say, "Heavens to Murgatroud".........!
Been thinking about holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas and How they are sort of l celebrating liberalism.
I mean Thanksgiving where native Americans and undocumented immigrants dine together and share friendships and Christmas giving gifts to some who did not earn it in celebration of Jesus' birth. Not sure how the right wing could sincerely warm heartedly grasp the celebratory intent of these Holidays.
* To you folks at the cornfield resistance headquarters.
This Thanksgiving, Join together , Eat well and share life.
Make good memories.
You guys should take another look at ... "The Lottery." (No doubt it's somewhere on DG's bookshelf!) You'd get a lot of mileage from replacing Tessie Hutchinson with MTG screaming "It's not fair" as the MAGA villagers turn on her.
And Happy Thanksgiving to you and family.
Snaps to Shirley Jackson! Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" seems to fit here, too. If Peyton Farquhar can dream, why can't we?
The high school I attended in the seventies had a "logging olympics" and one of the events was a cross-cut sawing race, that was usually won by a couple of big kids on the football team, but one year by a tall skinny kid and his brother who actually used the damned things at home...
Remember when "whiplash" was what you sued people for giving you when they rear-ended your car?
So DOGE is no more, but the damage it did is still very real.
That seems to be a recurring theme about now: Research grants have dried up and our commanding lead on the forefront of science is dwindling. Central American fishermen whose boats were blown up with a missile and had the temerity to survive the explosion were taught a lesson and murdered in a second strike.
I pray to a god I don't even believe in that when we regain control of the fucking government we don't drop the ball and agree to "look forward" again.
Thank you again for the podcast. I have Medicare and Medicaid and I am still terrified now that I have to move out of this county before my health situation has been resolved, but I totally empathize with your insurance fears. When I was in the rehab hospital after my stroke, I was stressed because I had no insurance and my Medicaid (MediCal, here in California) hadn't been approved yet (it turns out that it always takes 120 days, but nobody got around to telling me that at the time). And the time following a stroke is when your recovery is set: the improvement or lack thereof you get in those early days determine how the rest of your life will be.
Thing is, although I felt stressed, I got everything I needed. And this was pre-ACA. Some of the other patients I got to know, though, spent that precious time fighting with their insurance companies for each day they received treatment.
And some of them just had nowhere to go. It was heartbreaking. So with that, a hearty thank you to the universe for everything I have and everyone.
