And Mika is asked to serve the drinks.

Two good episodes last night from Season 2. Ethel Waters as a dying jazz singer who wants to band back together and gets Tod and Buz to help her (also in the episode jazz great Coleman Hawkins plays "Snooze"). The second has Robert Duvall as a heroin addict who Tod tries to get to go cold turkey.

The whole show, every day, has turned into a shameless plug for their books, music, etc.

He sleeps on the couch tonight.

Unfortunately, I agree that Trump never wanted to win (and, like Joe, I said it at the time, only earlier), in fact he never wanted to be the nominee; he just couldn't figure how to get out and not look like a loser. It was all, in Trump's mind, the branding ploy to raise his public profile. And I don't even talk to any highly placed Washington insiders.

He pretends now that he's not a Republican any more, but he keeps revealing his true self. If Trump loses, Joe's right back to being his old self.

Funnily, the polling company was started by Kellyanne Conway.

An interesting "Route 66" episode over the weekend on FETV, "A Month of Sundays" (1961, season 2, episode 1). Buz and Tod are working in the Berkeley Pit, a copper mine in Butte, MT, when Broadway star Arline Simms (the lovely Anne Francis) returns to town, having abruptly left her hit show in New York. Of course, Buz and Tod are immediately-and understandably-attracted. Buz falls in love with Arline, going so far as to buying a ring and asking her to marry him, while Tod accidentally discovers the reason Arline left NYC. Poignant drama ensues. Also in the episode is old-time matinee idol Conrad Nagel and Betty Garde (the contemptible Wanda Skutnik from "Call Northside 777"). Typical of the casting of this show. At the end of the episode we get a good look at Berkeley Pit when it was still in operation. Today the huge Berkeley Pit is one of the country's biggest superfund sites. Abandoned by Anaconda copper mining company, it's a almost 1,800 ft deep (and a mile by a half-mile round) cesspool of highly acidic, poisonous water. When the pit fills to the water table level (est. to happen next year), it will contaminate the area's water supply with arsenic, cadmium, sulphuric acid, etc. The Pit is surprising close to downtown Butte.

This was often the case in air warfare movies, see "Dawn Patrol" and "Twelve O'clock High." There's some truth in it. Sending people to die isn't easy. For example, in the RAF 60% of bomber flight crew members became casualties.

If you're 70, you might be perfect for a tricycle! :)

There's 128 million households in the U.S., so Beto better get started. I hope he owns comfortable shoes.

Maybe her mother keeps wanting to dress up like a pirate and play with her, not letting her play with kids her own age.

In high School we used to do the "Go Nads!" cheer along with the "give me a Q!" four times cheer.

Joe's new book "This Ends Badly" is out Sept 17. The publisher's blurbs says: "As Joe Scarborough and "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski observed Donald Trump's political rise in 2016, they found themselves uttering the same line to each other: 'This ends badly.' But it wasn't always that way. During their first meeting in 2003, Scarborough was amused by Trump's swagger and bigger-than-life persona. He and Brzezinski found him engaging and generous, if terribly insecure, and Trump made entertaining appearances on the MSNBC hosts' show...." Be prepared for week after week of shilling this piece...

Not a new show. They cycle through MSNBC hosts to do the interviews for the show. I'm sure Nancy will be discussing her Value.

They did "Easy Rider" last week (Tuesdays in June are their 1969 nights).

Joe discussed the poll numbers for Waxy Yellow Buildup (which is beating Trump handily) much to Mika's displeasure. She says Waxy Yellow Buildup is inappropriate morning talk. Doesn't she know Waxy Yellow Buildup's value?

I'm growing concerned about that family in the Volvo commercials. I don't think they are ever going to get to their destination. Hopefully they don't run into the blind serial killer from the Suburu commercial.

It would be truer if the ad said "Every time someone gets a Corona, somebody gets laid." And that would sell more beer.

I think they were thinking of the "origami" tailgate ad.

This evening's (June 11) episode of "Route 66" on FETV, "Eleven the Hard Way", features Walter Matthau and famous face Edward Andrews as town officials gambling in Reno to make enough money to save their town.

This is a great line, oakville. It's like Absurdist Literature. Fish heads don't collect dues and waste money on Italian suits.

...And Republican voter suppression. Plus you don't need the most votes to win, just a few more votes in the right places.

They can drop by Mar-a-lago
