  1. Is it just me or has Catherine O'Hara been elevated b/c of Schitt's Creek? I think a lot of people considered her great but in terms of mainstream audiences was she considered Kevin's mom? It's hard for me to judge because I've always been a fan. She was cast on SNL but bolted b/c the place terrified her. It was the Ebersol years so it's hard to say if she'd have been a success. Didn't do much for Julie Louis Dreyfuss at the time other than introduce her to her husband.
  2. Twitter is a private company that can make it's own decisions and be judged in the marketplace of ideas as either a useful place to go or not. The government shouldn't regulate or have any oversight over them in the same sense they shouldn't have had oversight over the magazine rack at the checkout line, between the Sports Illustrateds, Glamours, Cosmos, or National Enquirers. A bookstore can decide what to stock and sell. If they want the nudie mags in with the others, so be it. That's between them and their customers. If they don't want to stock them or guns and ammo or bibles or gay magazines... so be it. Same with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. No crime was committed.
  3. I'd go with Tier 1 John Candy Michael J Fox Mike Myers Dan Ackroyd Donald Sutherland Jim Carrey Keanu Reeves Tier 2 Martin Short Kiefer The Ryans (Gosling/Reynolds) William Shatner Eugene Levy Rick Moranis Corey Haim (nostalgia) Phil Hartman Brendan Fraser (late addition given his recent accolades)
  4. Nazis gotta be heard too. The GOP wants Nazis and penises to have a seat at the table. They get mad if a cereal commercial shows gay people though. Or drag queens reading books. Ban books about Hank Aaron and Rosa Parks. They are also upset at Disney for going woke again. Something about song of the south.
  5. In sum the GOP was upset that they wouldn’t post pictures of Hunter’s dick. There’s lots of other noise thrown in but pouring thru the actual facts it boils down to that. Those moralists wanted you to see his dick pics.
  6. that video is fantastic. Unfortunately when you need thousands of people/entities to work together to do what's best overall..... well. There's no money in this for the investor directly. Yes it's better 20 years from now but nobody cares about who benefits 20 years from now.
  7. I've never seen it and so many have it #1 over The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. I need to watch it.
  8. I'm going to believe it. After his tragedies he deserved a nice happy retirement.
  9. When I think younger and hip, this is not what I think of.
  10. He got on his bike and rode down to Costa Rica and is living out on a full service resort under an assumed name.
  11. What good did guys like Sasse and Flake or even Collins or Murkowski do? They will talk a good game but a vote is still a vote.
  12. I wouldn’t look away. I know Ted has seen them.
  13. I hope they keep up this fight because their bubble and base is shrinking in an actuarial sense. Go ahead.
  14. It's in the Bible.
  15. kind of related. Chatfield was a recipient of this money and he's being investigated for a lot of things regarding finances. He's as evangelical as they come. He also likes young girls. The works.
  16. and my point was that because of the lack of a formal transition that is usually about 10 weeks, such information may not have been shared between the staffs that do not carryover from admin to admin. They condensed things to two weeks after Jan 6. There's a difference between giving someone the benefit of the doubt and just making up hypotheticals.
  17. Your both sides attempts very often consist of comparing something that did happen to something that didn't happen or at best, might have happened.
  18. he likes to pretend we make up things actually said then goes on and makes up things never said and expects us to argue against it as if it were said.
  19. I'm sure during the awesome transition between admins from election day until Jan 20 the topic was discussed. The Trump folks at the Pentagon all seemed like stand up people who would gladly share information with the new guys about embarassing information.
  20. I remember getting a pull out CD player installed at Highland in Dearborn. The store was in one location and the install was out of some alley down the street. I can picture the store. I paced around once deciding whether to spend the $35 for a "Caller ID" box. Of course any Detroit commercial discussion is incomplete without this masterpiece.
  21. I agreed to go see Pink this summer with my wife because Brandi is opening for her.
  22. They give away all the good awards before the show airs. The Grammys are like the super bowl halftime shows. It's not for music fans. It's for mass audiences. You know better than anybody about the commercial side of music and what the real goal is. My wife was watching and she couldn't understand when I told her that the audience shots are scripted. They tell JLo, "Ok, we're going to show you in 4 seconds, do something" so then she'll do a "Whoop" or something. It started because I was criticizing it and she said "Look, they are getting into it". I said that's fake. Like Wrestling. Nobody in that setting is on camera unless they get approval. The superstars are the bosses and they can't make the bosses look bad. That said.... glad to see Brandi Carlyle win and perform and God bless Bonnie Raitt.
  23. I haven't watched Modern Marvels since they changed the format. But i still record them all but most I have seen. I still watch the one on the Mackinaw Bridge, Beer, Whiskey.... those stand out to me as fun. And I like anything related to food and the mass production. "here's how we fill 5 million M&M's a day into these bags!"
