But they all got at Tom Hanks for doing that same move when Keenan walked toward him in Black Jeopardy in the SNL 50th show.

I'm proud to say that the first time I ever voted for president was in 1976 when I voted for President Jimmy Carter.
Rest in Peace President Carter, your compassion and moral clarity has always inspired me.

We don’t believe in saying Happy Holidays here. In this house we say “Yippee kiyay, motherfucker.”

What happened to the #Salvation Army bell ringers and their big red kettles? They are nowhere to be found in #Nashville. Where did they go?

Anything mindless and chatty. Seinfeld and Friends are my current go-to.

You break the bipartisan agreement, you own the consequences that follow.

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

I used to watch #msnbc morning till night. I stopped watching before midnight election night and haven't tuned in since. @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social is my go to news source. Once a day I check in with him. He keeps me up to date on what I need to go.
