Not small.

This is only notable because in this situation the system sort of worked. Hassan Yehia Chokr arraigned for anti-Semitic attack charges (freep.com)

Listening to Amb Bill Taylor (of the basso profundo voice) this morning. He says that Ukraine will have what they need to expel Russia from its territory this Spring if the latest pledges are carried out. I hope somewhere in Ukraine or in western Europe our trainers are working up battalion tactical groups with simulated tanks. You can't just slap together units without that kind of training in command and control, tactics, and the basics of operating armored vehicles in the field.

In my version Maria Pappas and Gina Scala are played by Bjork and Shakira.

I'd like to see a hip hop musical of the Guns of Navarone to see how they would do this scene Or this

Seriously, they should have had her act in a trench. She's a very pretty lady but she's a skyscraper.

this will help

Greg Peck was no slouch

Also, the leap from Vanessa Kirby (tall) to Helena Bonham Carter (short) is jarring. I realize the Bonham Carter family are pretty much part of the family firm so she probably had special dispensation to appear.

I watched one episode of the most recent year and stopped. I really enjoyed the Clair Foy seasons. The Olivia Coleman years have their moments but she plays her with resting bitch face so much that it really contrasts. I don't know what to make of this year's. I love Jimmy Mcnulty so much that its hard to see Dominic West do anything else. He is in Rogue Heroes as a foppish intelligence operative in Cairo -- he's in 300 as the bad guy but, man i just can't help but see him and hear him say "what the [bleep] did I do?"

I sat through a JR High version of Newsies (my daughter did the sets) on Friday night. The singing wasn't great but the actual performance of it was great. There is value in live performance even if its middling quality. I really, really enjoyed the speed and tempo of the singing in Hamilton. The words per minute from the performers coupled with the dancing is just mesmerizing on the screen. I can only imagine how good that would look live. I'm not in agreement with the grumpfart view on Hamilton.

I didn't hear any of those things. Did a doctor lecherously probe them as well?

The Michigan Athletic Department has a few things to be proud of and this is one of them Show that to anyone who stumbles in life.

Waiting for an MBA class on how this is costing our taxpayers tons of money and those unfortunate investors who have stakes in the Russian economy tons of money and we should just let them be the dominant power in their sphere of influence. Meanwhile, the History class is playing out on the ground and in the cities of Ukraine.

Their PM appears to have been part of Vladdie's stable in the old days.

Not bad.

Do better

This team is like the Steinbrenner Yankees all of a sudden. That's both a good thing and a bad thing.

This is crazy town

The Athletic Department director who hasn't spoken to the football coach since Summer.

And Today has arrived. We have our international relations bigs there: Austin for DOD, Burns for the IC, and Blinken for the State Department. Let the international system heal itself by cutting out the cancer of Russian aggression. That won't necessarily "scare" the other cancers but it will provide the process for fighting those other cancers.

Negotiations with Michigan football coach hit a snag when he refused to admit he hit his wife. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/ncaaf/bigten/2023/01/19/michigan-football-jim-harbaugh-wont-admit-lie-ncaa-violations/11081671002/

Tomorrow will be a big deal. The world order will either break or be shored up by the Ramstein conference.

her bio of Hunter S. Thompson is very good.

We think that is the source of the revelations based on side chatter on the commercial during the MGOBLOG roundtable show today. According to the people on the show (might have been Sam) Harbaugh knows this could impact recruitment of Jaydn Davis (a human who plays Quarterback) and Davis' father actually told Weiss at one point that he needed to do a better job recruiting him.
