When I saw Donald Sutherland, I thought the film was the '70s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I'm not familiar with Don't Look Now. I appreciate the reference.

An utterly meaningless tennis
event called the Six Kings Slam will take place in Riyadh next week. Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic, Fritz, Zverev, and either Draper or Tsitsipas will be the contenders. To me, the Saudis are saying , “How can we be a barbarous lot, if we put on such a fancy exhibition?”

I found only a solitary surprise in the opinion piece. The first sentence mentioned is trump’s “recent behavior,” as if he had suddenly become unbalanced. I wonder if there had ever a time during his adult life when that was not the case.

I would love to see her actually win the Nobel Peace Prize. Of course, the accomplishment would be done before trump, since there isn’t any chance he will ever win, unless the rest of humanity goes berserk.

For the 100 millionth time, please repeat after me, “There is no organization called Antifa. Antifa is simply shorthand for anti-fascist, and all Americans should be anti-fascists. That’s why previous generations fought World War Two.”

When I was young it really irked me when people called me Al, instead of Alan. I grew up and realized that there are far more important things in life. That, unfortunately, is something neither Leavitt or trump can ever do. Tragically we have people with the emotional maturity of toddlers in charge.

Also, Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. That was a mere 162 years ago. Who doesn’t remember that, like it was yesterday?

That's true. Also, Elon, his creator, wasn't nearly the craftsman that Geppetto was.

Until recently, the question of which POTUS should hold the title Worst of all Time has been debatable. My list of possibles included Jackson, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Harding and others. With the 2nd term of trump well under way, the answer is now clear, and his regime must be vanquished.

A picture of 15th century Wallachian prince, Vlad Dracula, with long aquiline nose, very wide mustache and long dark hair. Wearing a red pointed velvet cap with a upturned silvery brim and a gold jeweled star.

Perhaps a certain prince of Wallachia never did die. The resemblance is striking.

It has been quite some time since the term lunatic was an accepted psychological descriptor. There are no studies demonstrating the statistics of which he speaks. His lunatics are those who care about others, while mine are those who are too reckless to leave a better world for their own grandkids.

I had to do a little research for this to make sense. I knew the song was first released by Steve Marriott and Small Faces in 1967. I never knew, however, that Robyn Hitchcock had a retrospective album of 1967 music. Interesting.

I found a Bluesky profile entirely devoted to raising Budgies, and yet I could not find a single classic rock video. Just to show that the best of Budgie come from Wales, not Australia, I found, on YouTube, a very rare live performance of Breadfan.
