It's Coldplay, it's smaltzy. Yet if you add a 99 year old **** VanDyke somehow it becomes magical...

Hind site being perfect, maybe they should have let Trump own an NFL team. He couldn't have done worse than some of the franchises in the past 40 years or so. It would have probably exposed him to more people as the business fraud he is. or at least kept him off the stupid TV show that propelled him to where he is now. Maybe in the next life

I'm in.... https://eyesontheoval.substack.com/p/turn-your-back-on-trumps-inauguration?r=4k9uiy&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true

I just finished watching the doc. It was great. I turned to my wife and asked if she remembered the "Music of Your Life" format we used to laugh at. It was usually played on a fringe AM radio station in the 70s and early 80. I realized that Yacht Rock is the Music of My Life....

My own"mandatory" Christmas movie viewing is still in effect. It's about time to cue up White Christmas. I had a chance to see it on the "big screen" last year with the reopening of a theatre built by John Rockefeller in Williamsburg. That was very cool. The other is the "ultimate family Christmas gathering" imo. Lion in Winter, pairing Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn along with an outstanding supporting cast.

I'm not familiar with this site or its leanings. But it's an interesting perspective . https://frontelligence.substack.com/p/war-deficits-and-the-russian-economy My thought. Is Vlad hoping Trump and Company will bail him out of a mess, or will he get more bogged down in the swamp

That was short lived. He's not going to open one after all https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/williamsburg/hinckley-scraps-music-store-in-wake-of-negative-reaction/

Musk and Ramaswamy probably want to enroll vets in a United Health Care plan for vets, similar to Medicare Advantage. If you want a better option (like Plan D) it comes out of your pocket.

Had to stick this someplace. I saw a social media posting (X) that John Hinkley is opening a record store in the area. My first reaction

More from the loony right

The other thing was Danson's interactions with the other residents. As I said a good supporting cast and really no over the top characters (maybe a couple)

From The Athletic on the A's new(?) home. It's gonna cost $250 million more than initial estimates. The A's say they're willing to foot the bill. Also the stadium won't be ready til '28, maybe https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5965207/2024/12/03/las-vegas-athletics-stadium-costs-rise/?source=athletic_thewindup_newsletter&campaign=11828613&userId=213687

I agree, we enjoyed it. It's not as grating as Murders in the Building. But a very good surrounding cast and a heartfelt look at topics like elder loneliness and dementia.

Found what I was looking for. From JVL https://www.thebulwark.com/p/tulsi-gabbard-russian-asset-or-dupe

I'm going to stick this here because this state legislator wants to codify something kin to this in Va. Personally I think it's a good idea (and the guy is a Republican). Too bad Ms Harris didn't suggest this when she was talking about making home buying more available to middle class Americans

There was a reason Pence would not get into the SS car. I seriously believe all Trumpers have developed a serious case of convenient memory loss

I've heard that from every alkie I've encountered and was ordered to hire by a few crooked bosses

I suggest also taking a look at the charts inside this reports. As to hotels, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck.... I suspect his company doesn't check for housekeeper citizenship too closely. H

It's easy to get around DC by public transit most of the time. Driving there from Williamsburg, Va is a big pain in the arse because of traffic on I-95. The last couple of trips (primarily spouse work related) we've used AMTRAK from Richmond. Parking is reasonable ($10 a day, compared to exorbitant DC rates) and a 2 1/2 train ride. Maybe $35 if you book business class.

The guy Trump picked actually tried to enforce the law during the pandemic and is now getting hosed by the conservatives for doing so
