Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

The great Bob Burns has left us and I've lost a friend. They do not make 'em any nicer. Honored to have him in my old dark dark house--he made it all that much better. He's with Kathy again.

The only drawback with these were that they broke so easily, so not too many have stood the test of time, even when sitting.

When I was a little kid I thought Gen. Grant looked like Rod Serling. If his 5 o’clock shadow went to 10. Now? Not so much. But that's how important Rod was to me even before I knew of his works. He was the guy that opened a door to the unknown. It's 66th ann. of TWILIGHT ZONE. Long live Rod Serling

War of the Worlds (2025) Pitch Meeting
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Kq-yEt1iYsbUzNOoIRK0g War of the Worlds is a classic that gets remade every few decades. With Spielberg and Tom Cruise being the last to tackle it, it’s time for… Ice Cube to get his hands on it! And have it be focused on Zoom calls! That sounds like a good idea, right? RIGHT? War of the Worlds definitely raises some questions. Like how is this a real movie? Why are aliens eating Facebook pages but not YouTube or Amazon ones? Is Ice Cube the worst DHS agent of all time? Why is the most action-packed scene of this movie based around assembling a spreadsheet?

Happy Birthday to Lauren Tom! Hear her on our NOTHING LASTS FOREVER episode: www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2015/05/epis...
Episode 218: Nothing Lasts Forever (1984)
Maudit May continues with Tom Schiller's Nothing Lasts Forever which tells the story of Adam Beckett (Zach Galligan), a disillusioned young man who wants to be an artist. He gets everything he wants... just not in the way he expects it. The anachronistic film also stars Lauren Tom, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Apollonia van Ravenstein.
