Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

I retired 6 years ago.

The kids were six and four when I first bumped into you on Favrd.

My son. Middle school math teacher. His job was cut.

He’ll get another. He is a sous-chef at a fancy restaurant today.

My daughter. Presenting today in Anchorage.

She is in charge of a marine debris program with Ocean Conservancy.

From the Guardian review of “Melania”: “It's one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn't have a single redeeming quality.”

So, there’s that.

Mark, you should be so proud.

What a great young man.

Blessings to you and yours.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Out, damned spot!

Seriously. Makes you feel better, has an impact.

Because they count the call for and against issues.

Because your voice counts.

Because you count.

Murder.

Murder.

I am crying.

Ugly crying.

The federal government executed an ICU nurse today in Minneapolis.

An ICU nurse protecting another human being from an illegal assault.

They executed an honorable and caring man.

I saw it with my own eyes. From one thousand, seventy miles away.

A murder. In broad daylight.

I love you man.

A tyrant, a traitor, a tool of Putin.

Happy Birthday Mark.

May your troubles be less, And your blessings be more, And nothing but happiness Come through your door.

Have a great day!

Somehow.
