I don't know they can even come close to the manic portrayal and semi-demented character interplays of the original. I get a belly-laugh every time I watch my DVD series of that show.

As the best o-lineman in CFL history, he ought to be in line for a huge raise.

There is no rational or ethical reason to pray for the death of another person. Bobert is simply following the Trump playbook to say inflammatory things that fall just short of incitement so that she cannot be held responsible if one of her weak-minded followers tries to kill Biden. The Trump-led GOPers establish the rhetoric to create the acts of violence and then they decry how the US is going to Hell in a handcart and its all the fault of the gays, immigrants, Jews, Muslims, Asians, lefties, wrong kind of Christians, etc etc. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it, too?

Big Government House Republicans Look To Impose Chocolate Milk Mandate Now that their gas stoves are safe, Republicans want a national law forcing schools to provide kids with chocolate milk. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is leading the charge to protect chocolate milk. Stefanik has even proposed legislation to mandate that all schools be forced to offer chocolate milk to students: @RepStefanik: Mayor Adams’ threat to ban chocolate milk in schools is a non-starter. I’m standing up to make sure our NY students have a flavored milk option. #SaveChocolateMilk!

Lauren Boebert Tells Church To Pray For Biden’s Death The congregation laughed and cheered as Rep. Lauren Boebert told them to pray for Joe Biden’s death, and that his days be short. Boebert said, “We pray for our president. Let his days be few and another take his office. That’s why I filed the articles of impeachment for Joe Biden. Unfortunately, he does have a really good insurance policy named Kamala Harris.” The psalm Boebert was referring to: The verse Lauren Boebert referenced, Psalm 109:8, is clearly about praying for the death of an enemy in office. Context: “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.”

The Dark World was almost as good as the first one (IMO) but Ragnarok was a giant step downward with Thor using contemporary phrases and misplaced humour attempts, not mention several glaring plot holes. Jeff Goldblum was a symptom of the degradation of the character and story line. And i still think Thor should have had the accent of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets TV Show.

The last couple of Thor movies have been absolutely trash. The last one was entirely the fault of the director who openly admitted he had never researched the character in the two first movies or in the comics and decided to make it a comedy. I believe that Marvel/Disney lost a ton of money on the last one and Hemsworth was said to be very unhappy about the change of characterization and that played into his decision to step away from movies for at least a while.

I see your Kari Lake and raise you a Jim Jordan: Jordan’s first hearing on 'so-called' weaponization of government mocked Over conspiracy theorist witnesses Its first hearing isn’t until Thursday but already Chairman Jim Jordan‘s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government is being mocked after the list of witnesses was released. NBC News’ Garrett Haake reports testifying before the committee on Thursday will be ex-Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and former FBI special agent Nicole Parker. Gabbard left the Democratic Party and is now an independent and a Fox News contributor. In 2019, Hillary Clinton suggested she was a Russian asset being groomed for a third-party presidential run. She sued the former Democratic presidential nominee and former U.S. Secretary of State but later dropped the defamation lawsuit. Also, Gabbard “shared false information,” Forbes reported last year, “about U.S. involvement in Ukraine biological laboratories … giving credence to an unfounded Russian-backed conspiracy theory the U.S. has warned could serve as justification for Russia to use biological and chemical weapons against Ukraine.” Sen. Johnson, who narrowly won re-election after being among the top promoters of Donald Trump’s “Big Lie,” is a conspiracy theorist who uses his Senate seat to spread false information about COVID and a host of other crises. CNN’s Chris Cillizza branded Johnson the “Senate’s leading conspiracy theorist” just one year ago. The Washington Post reported last May that Sen. Johnson “expressed openness” to “a fervent anti-vaccination” commentator’s “idea that maybe the coronavirus vaccines are a conduit for deliberately giving people AIDS.” Sen. Grassley has come under fire for his racist remarks about COVID-19, dangerously false claims about the IRS, and apparent falsehoods about the January 6 insurrection and its participants. Last year The American Independent reported Grassley told a constituent “what you said is accurate.” According to The Independent, the constituent said during a town hall: “Knowing that the FBI and Capitol Police were complicit in Jan. 6, what have you done to get the political prisoners being held in gulag conditions out on bail?”

George Santos is the superstar MAGA deserves The political media fascination with Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican who appears to have faked approximately 95% of his life, is such that it was inevitable that it would draw a "savvy" backlash piece scolding the press about their priorities. The wannabe party pooper finally emerged last week at the Washington Post in an opinion column headlined, "Real people don't care about George Santos." In it, self-assigned buzzkill David Byler argued "America doesn't seem to care" about Santos, which he can tell based on Google search traffic. Our nation was founded by puritans, so as soon as people had a laugh over Santos, inevitably someone would shake their finger disapprovingly. But there were some flaws in Byler's argument, starting with his assumption that Santos' own embarrassed constituents are not "real" people. There's also the fact that Google Trends isn't a very exacting measure of interest in a subject, as it only measures if people are searching out information. It doesn't capture people who read articles they saw on social media or directly on a news website. Traffic to stories about Santos is plenty healthy on that front. But perhaps most importantly, this narrow-minded focus on search traffic ignores what a lot of the sneered-at political observers saw coming a mile away: The imminent George Santos makeover into MAGA's Next Top Superstar. Santos may not matter to "average" Americans, but his story is being leveraged directly into the right-wing propaganda machine that currently controls the Republican Party. On Thursday night, for instance, Santos was sanctified into the echelon of MAGA saints by the Pope of neo-fascism himself, Tucker Carlson. In a typically dishonest segment on his wildly popular Fox News show, Carlson painted Santos as a hapless victim of the bigoted news media by pretending that the only thing Santos lied about was his volleyball career. (Which is one of the more minor fake careers and hobbies Santos has claimed on his resume.) https://www.salon.com/2023/02/06/george-santos-is-the-superstar-maga-deserves/

Michael Jackson Documentary Director: Biopic 'Will Glorify A Man Who Raped Children' The director who made a documentary about Michael Jackson’s alleged child sexual abuse warned Sunday that a new Lionsgate biopic about the King of Pop “will glorify a man who raped children.” It was announced last week that a movie dramatization of Jackson’s life, approved by his estate, is on the way and that Jackson will be played by his nephew Jaafar Jackson. “No one is talking about ‘canceling’ this movie, which will glorify a man who raped children,” “Leaving Neverland” director Dan Reed wrote in The Guardian. “What the total absence of outrage accompanying the announcement of this movie tells us is that Jackson’s seduction is still a living force, operating from beyond the grave,” he continued. “It seems that the press, his fans and the vast older demographic who grew up loving Jackson are willing to set aside his unhealthy relationship with children and just go along with the music.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/michael-jackson-ed-reed-biopic-children_n_63e0f6cfe4b04d4d18edea88

Perfect fit for the Riders.

Replacement brain cells are a bit harder to come by.

If this is true, it destroys any respect that Buono had..

Keith Richards is technically still alive but he was predeceased in 1975 by 98% of his brain cells.

That was a massive brain cramp by Buck- if that was his call. Along with the Pukop wounded duck toss.

Your body is trying to tell you something.

People sometimes forget that Russia along with Germany started WW2 by invading and partitioning Poland. Along with this, Russia gathered all the captured Polish officers and all mayors, Polish politicians and such that could find, took all 22,000 of them to the Katyn forest and massacred them. Russia was under the command of Stalin (an ethnic Georgian) then but the massacre has never been acknowledged Russia.

‘THE THREAT FROM WITHIN’: Israel Braces for the ‘Terrifying’ Crisis Bibi Wanted All Along JERUSALEM—In Jerusalem, standing beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken uncharacteristically minced no words: The United States, he said, wanted to stress “our support for core democratic principles and institutions, including respect for human rights, the equal administration of justice for all, the equal rights of minority groups, the rule of law, free press, a robust civil society.” It was the sort of cautionary notice Blinken might have issued in authoritarian Turkey or in Poland, but never before heard from a senior American official in Israel. It spotlighted almost all the parts of Israeli governance Netanyahu plans to dismantle as part of a vast judicial blitz which would leave him, as the nation’s chief executive, with almost absolute power. Then Blinken pulled a final arrow out and—referring to the massive protests that have emerged since Israel’s long-time leader returned to power on Dec. 29—shot it straight at Netanyahu: “And the vibrancy of Israel’s civil society has been on full display of late.” Netanyahu and his allies, including Yair, his right-wing troll son, slam the protests as “anti-Israeli” subversion funded by “foreign money.” In addition to street demonstrations, Netanyahu’s radical overhaul has been met with a wall of condemnation from every sector in Israel’s establishment, ranging from the entire judiciary to bank and university presidents, academic leaders, tech titans, business leaders, economists, doctors, teachers, and more than 170 mayors. Netanyahu’s all-out assault on Israel’s judiciary would neuter the judiciary, void Supreme Court rulings, and accord him almost total authority over the levers of government. Israel does not have a written constitution, and Netanyahu is threatening to revoke some of the “Basic Laws” that guarantee civil rights. Mordechai Kremnitzer, a renowned Israeli jurist and professor of law at the Hebrew University, told The Daily Beast that Israel is undergoing “ Netanyahu’s finance minister, who recently described himself as a “fascist homophobe,” and hopes to impose “the law of the Torah” on Israel, has submitted to parliament a law which would allow faith-based discrimination. Other ministers are acting to usurp the power of parents and regional and municipal authorities over educational programming, to deny the right of traditionally Arab-majority political parties to run for the Knesset—Israel’s parliament—to limit the right to strike, restrict the right of journalists to publish leaks, and entirely do away with Israel’s public broadcaster, Kann News. ‘The Threat From Within’ On the international front, his government has announced plans to, de facto, rescind Israel’s recognition of most Jewish communities in the world as properly Jewish, and to curb Israel’s unique immigration law, which was established 75 years ago so as to guarantee Jews a homeland should they be threatened by antisemitism in the lands of their birth. And that’s not half of it: Last weekend, an Israeli army incursion into the West Bank city of Jenin resulted in the deaths of nine Palestinians, including at least two innocent bystanders, and triggered a bloody weekend in Jerusalem. Seven Israelis were killed in two terrorist shooting attacks perpetrated by east Jerusalemites: a 21-year-old who was shot dead by Israeli police, and a 13-year-old whose family home has been sealed off under orders of Netanyahu’s Minister for National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir. Ben Gvir, a rabble rouser with dozens of hate crime convictions, led a late night posse chanting “death to the terrorists!” after the first attack. https://www.thedailybeast.com/israel-braces-for-the-terrifying-crisis-benjamin-netanyahu-wanted-all-along

'It Will Be Suicide’: Russian Troops Reportedly Ordered to Repeat Their Failed Bid to Take Kyiv The Kremlin has reportedly ordered top military brass to make another attempt to seize Kyiv as part of a massive new offensive—a directive that has sent military officers into a state of panic. Citing a source close to Russia’s Defense Ministry, the independent outlet iStories reported on Friday that even the Russian troops ordered to take part in the assault believe it will fail miserably. “Plans to go for Kyiv again are really being drawn up, but only because the country’s leadership is demanding it. No one believes in the realization of these plans, it will be suicide,” the source was quoted saying, adding that many were worried about where Ukrainian forces might launch a new counter-offensive. In the same breath, however, the source cautioned that some rumors about where Moscow was preparing to attack from next were part of a disinformation campaign. He said claims of a new offensive from Belarus were meant to simply force Ukraine’s military to deploy troops in that direction while new attacks spring up elsewhere. https://www.thedailybeast.com/it-will-be-suicide-russian-troops-reportedly-ordered-to-repeat-their-failed-bid-to-take-kyiv?ref=home

A perfect Republican: Rep. George Santos Reportedly Told Campaign Donors He Produced 'Spider-Man' Musical The hits just keep on coming for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) ― or should we say the lies. Bloomberg is reporting that Santos told some potential donors during his 2022 congressional campaign that he produced the 2011 Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” Spoiler alert: He lied. An assistant to Michael Cohl, who actually was the producer of the musical, told Bloomberg that Santos was not a producer of the show. In addition, his name never appeared in the playbills for the show, which lost tens of millions of dollars for investors and suffered from technical mishaps and actor injuries during its run from 2011 to 2014. HuffPost reached out to the freshman congressman’s office for comment, but no one immediately responded. However, the truth-challenged congressman from Long Island has previously and falsely claimed that, among other things, he was Jewish and the descendent of Holocaust survivors, he was a volleyball champion at Baruch College and he once worked at Goldman Sachs.
