    Trump exploited the Navy Seal's widow in his speech last night and I'm grateful to Sunny for making that point. 

    Wondering if this clip missed the cut on Sunny tirade:

    Favorite Commercials

    in Commercials

    Loving the Haribo gummy bears ad! Not sure if it's the same one @Milburn Stone brought up (boardroom meeting with little kids dubbed over the adults).  I don't even know how long it's been playing (I don't get out much), but it's so cute I could pinch it.

    I took German in high school, and still remember the Haribo jingle! ("Haribo macht kinder froh; und erwachtsen eben so!")

    Apologies to all the native speakers who are giggling uncontrollably at my spelling.

    Then and Now: Actors (and their Voices) in Commercials

    @rallymantis, the two voices do sound very similar, but my expectation is that Geico would have an exclusivity agreement with their gecko-guy, especially as it pertains to other clients in the "financial services sector." (Which this one is.)

    I'm sure you're right.  And there's just *enough* of a difference in cadence (duh, 2 different countries) that if I concentrate...

    ...eh, still confuses the crap outta me.

    Also, who knew Johnny Damon played for the Royals?  

    Um. *raises hand*

    We drafted him in the first round, and it was a bitter parting of ways for the fan base.

    He still gets love around these parts, though.

    Never drink & post

    So now it's started, and I must face reality.  Here's a poem I wrote rewrote tweaked a bit in a drunken teary wistful longing rage:

    Dear Cubs & Mariners fans --

    My tears are fallin' cause you've taken them away
    And through it really hurts me so
    There's something that I gotta say...
    Take good care of my baby(s)
    Please don't ever make 'em blue
    Just tell 'em that you love 'em
    Make sure you're thinking of 'em
    In everything you say and do


    Take good care of my baby(s)
    Now don't you ever make them cry
    Just let your love surround them; Paint a rainbow all around 'em
    Don't let them see a cloudy sky.


    Once upon a time those two guys were mine
    And if the salary cap weren't true I know they'd never be with you, so --
    Take good care of my baby(s)
    Be just as kind as you can be
     

    And if the trade deadline proves they might still be mine
    Just send my Wade & Dice back home to me.

    Fox News Network: They're Crazy Like a ...

    in Network Talk

    Very sad news about Alan Colmes.  Always a great smile & sense of humor, even in the minority.

    Best moment: April Fool's Day 2009.  He showed up at the top of the hour on a renamed "Hannity" ("Colmes"), offering up the Anti-American Panel of "Bill Ayers, Sean Penn, and anybody French!"

    RIP.

    Looking forward to hearing Tapper -- a friendly acquaintance from my time in D.C., and someone I used to respect -- explain his network's hiring of Jen Psaki as a CNN contributor. She made several  proven lies accidental misstatements to media faces (including his) over the Iran deal.

    Over to you, Jake.

    Wow, Trump was on fire today. Of course CNN and BBC took the brunt of it. I swear Trump got up this morning and decided he was going to give the press hell today.

    It's been more than four hours.  Time to consult my physician.

    Jedi apparently thinks that if she yells loudly over the facts being presented and never takes a breath, that constitutes winning an argument. #factswin #sooverher

      It's so cagey to twist facts the way the republicans do. 

    "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor." 

    Hope Rachel shows the Politico poll tomorrow.  Different numbers.  Although she's smart enough to know that polls don't mean as much as they did before November.

    Doosie seemed like his balloon had exploded in his hand,

    Fairly certain that whether it was Steve or Peter Doocey (I'm assuming the typo, unless you're referring to a new employee), he understood that he was in the middle of Momjeans country, and the reax was him trying to avoid puking.

    I saw the WaPo headline of this outing in the "news" section.  It read like an Onion spoof of fanfic.

    Wow, Ilana.  When your hatred of our president starts leaking out to include his grandson -- maybe it's time to take a break from Twitter, and think about how politics needn't contaminate EVERYthing.  Sometimes a cute baby is just a cute baby.

    Or not.  Frankly, this kind of shit actually helps my side -- so, as you were.
