So some folks are teed off because a shock-value comedian joked about molestation and pedophilia, but are completely ok with voting for a molester and pedophile for president. Got it. #NikkiGlaser #SNL #NBC

While recovering from knee replacement surgery, I watched Kathryn Bigelow’s House of Dynamite. What an all-star cast, but I sure didn’t expect to see Angel Reese!

40 years ago today. Fortunately with the institution of replay, MLB had sense enough to award the Saint Louis Cardinals the 1985 World Series Championship (upon further review).

Goodbye to a true legend, June Lockhart, 100 years young. Timmy has lost his “second mother” and so has a generation.

Most of the time we were in Rio Nuevo, Jamaica last Feb during Bob Marley’s birthday week, it was too windy for the short boat ride out to the Couples Tower Isle Nude Beach. Seems like the area is about to be hit by #HurricaneMelissa. I hope the island is spared significant damage from the storm.

I’m guessing FELOTUS can’t figure out if Norway or Sweden is responsible for him losing out, so he’ll slam 80% tariffs on both of them!
