you can pick up two front-row seats to see Jane Krakowski in "Oh, Mary!" later this month for roughly the same price. and you'd probably leave with a better understanding of US politics and political history, tbqf.

My mom was a big Anthony Newley fan (still have the vinyl from the family collection) but as a kid, his vibrato drove me crazy
Anthony Newley, born on this day in 1931. Here's his contribution to the hippy movement, a version of George Harrison's Within You, Without You. Far out man!

It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

Pet sitting way out in Winter Garden, FL home to some pretty racist folks. The house I’m in is lovely, but in a kind of Stepford community. The nearest big road is a mishmash of sad strip malls and dubious car repair places with some newer fast food places wedged in

Private Equity saying "I don't think we can make enough money off selling cheap pizza to drunk college students" is a recession indicator

Dick Cheney brought the U.S. to war based on lies and intel they knew was bad. Do not believe anyone who whitewashes that.
For all the “evidence” they brought forth there was plenty of independent reporting refuting it in real time. And it later proved right.
