We were just there. One of the most beautiful and welcoming places I’ve ever visited. And, 90% of all new cars there are electric. They have a problem with huge cruise ships docking in tiny fjord towns, though. But a magnificent place.

Did you see the debate? If her staff coached her to be rude and stupid, she aced it.

"So when God determines who is saved and who is not, who turns left and who turns right..."
He's comparing God to the Nazis at the transport leading to Auschwitz. How nice.

Yes, but in context of Hegseth’s dictat about no fat soldiers, it’s kinda ridiculous

β€œAt least there won’t be a line at Zabar’s.”
(I’m writing a comic novel about a neophyte rabbi returning to his quirky New Jersey hometown to lead its congregation, so I empathize.)

My favorite joke:
My wife is like the Sphinx. She’s beautiful, unknowable, and had her nose shot off by the French army.

When Plummer rips the Nazi flag, he spends about five seconds feeling for just the right place - the already-started rip.

That song is really about Rockville Maryland, which is where I live. It’s a lovely town of great food and parks in what we call the People’s Republic of Montgomery County. Deep blue but lousy cell service. C’est la guerre.

Ken Ober was very funny and died far too soon. The show also gave us Colin Quinn, who I think is the funniest standup around, and Adam Sandler, the less said about the better. Ahead of its time.

He should be playing Grossinger's, not playing president.

So a death sentence for any captured American POWs, I guess.

I'm a Jewish guy from NY. I had heard of but never seen Jim Crow. I was in Houston, Ark., tiny town, and saw the old train station, 2 rooms, one big & bright with a chandelier, the other old & gray, potbelly stove. What's THAT room, I asked. Oh, that's the col--ed waiting room. My jaw fell.

And think of the money Sinclair is losing by showing old local news instead. They'll cave soon.
