If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

March 4 is not only the anniversary of John Candyβ€˜s death, it is also the birthday of the great Catherine O’Hara. Both fantastic talents, and remarkable people who are dearly missed.

There’s no replacing Jools Holland, of course, but I will tell you that they have been fantastic with Stephen Large for many years now!

The timing of the initial strikes is unusual.

Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties.

This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way.

Trump-lover Ellison ruins everything.

What happens now that the Ellisons will have both CBS News, plus CNN?
*Dems could set out a populist anti-trust platform for the next election
*Desperate need for new independent media sources - follow nonprofit or other models
What else?

This is... a little late.

@pulmyears.bsky.social was a generous, funny, and kind guest on @danandjay.com and I should have released this episode LITERAL MONTHS AGO. My sincerest apologies to Paul, who wrote the brilliant "John Candy: A Life in Comedy." He was a damned delight to have on the show.

"BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Arrested in Jeffrey Epstein Probe." This GREATLY increases chances Trump starts bombing Iran this weekend. The clamor to arrest Trump and his rich friends tied to Epstein in the US is going to grow!
