Just wish EVERY Dem would refer to him as "President Vagina Neck". It would destroy him. You know, if the tables were turned, that's what MAGA would do.

After almost 30 years here, and NEVER falling asleep during a sporting event, the time zone is a top-5 reason for being "lucky to live Hawaii"

How the Ryder cup was a metaphor for America in 2025
-Prices thru the roof
-Fans were boorish
-The rest of the world was rooting against us.
-We did well individually, got our asses kicked in team play

A backstory...My friend, Jerry Seltzer owned the ticket co in SF. There were over 20,000 unsold tix for this show. The next day Jerry took the unsold tix (this was before computerization) to the county dump. Using ebay ticket stubs as a basis, those unsold tix would be worth 2 million $$ today

I was in the concert biz when we had the 85 year old Bob Hope doing a show. I asked his mgr why is he still touring? Smiling, the mgr said "He has his asbestos bags packed and wants to be sure his family is ok"
Bob Hope lived another 15 years!
Guess his family, and Mr. Serling's, were more than ok.

One of the saddest things I've ever seen on TV. The great Henry Rollins had a show, half talk, half music. Like most punk rockers, Henry was enamored with Kiss and had Gene Simmons on to chat. All Henry's idol wanted to talk about was $$.
Henry was crestfallen
Fuck Gene Simmons
