Tom Arnold back on screen

@JesseBWatters Did you put these guys together? What a team! I was Tom’s photodouble as “Rat man” in a kid’s tv show. I couldn’t see very well out of the mask and Tom was trying to get in the make-up trailer as I was stepping out. The first I saw of him he was angry at me. Conners

Carol O’Connor RIP ye olde Irishman.

Reach, I was in the army too ya know. I was in dem war movies.

I’d add “unintelligible” to the objection if I knew they wouldn’t retort, “We’ll you’re retarded–or are you autistic?”

“Objection Your Honor! Mere ad hominem attacks.”

“Oh, now it’s “Your Honor” is it Mr. Rubens?

“Yes Your Honor.”

Dual systems? un-parallel #licensing? No, I was thinking more about non-licensing. Some other way to filter us. #professionalismmatters “Does ‘acting’ professional count to some degree toward ‘professionalism’?” Psychological studies suggest yes. Actions do influence one’s state.

@tedcruz: “You must adjust @jimmykimmel.” “Adjust me?” “You sound like a #SteveMartin recording Jimmy.” #HowDYaLikeMeNow?

#Bankrupt2StateBars [but not #Texas].

@tedcruz: After all Jimmy, you didn’t win. YOU DIDN’T win, fair and square.

@jimmykimmel: But that psych warfare about pulling down my shorts and going for a rim shot.  You didn’t go for a rim shot!

“You must adjust Jimmy.” #Howdyalikemenow?

#Jesus: You’ll always be outnumbered; #CountRostov: So too.

He got some of my wimp factor.–Fictitious @GeorgeHWBush “You gave it to him 41, and you gave me some whoop ass.”–Fictitious @GeorgeW_Bush @GWBLibrary

See, A Gentleman In Moscow by Amor Towles whose main character, Alexander “Sasha” Rostov or “the Count” is reflective and often comparative.

“Who is my competition?”
“Have you entered?”
“Oh yeah…” * * * *
Yours truly.

#Journalism is taking a part

After all, “jour” means “day” in French.

About “fake news”. I discovered the “theater” is prevalent and pervasive. Rather than talking heads being seldom insincere, they are most of the time playing the part given to create the stage. Seldom are “they” sincere. #dialectic #angles #journalism is taking a part.

Or a-part.

Dear @POTUS: #RememberTheAlamo thealamo.org/remember/history/chronology/index.html

On April 6, 1830 the Mexican government attempted to stop the flood of immigration by prohibiting the settlement of emigrants from the United States. The result only fueled the flame of revolution in Texas.

“Starting in a couple of decades…[See @Kdrum’s article in @ForeignAffairs]

robots will put millions of people out of work, and yet the world’s economic and political systems are still based on the assumption that laziness is the only reason not to have a job.  That’s an incendiary combination.

Kevin Drum, “Tech World: Welcome to the Digital Revolution”, Foreign Affairs, JULY/AUG 2018 p. 43, 45-46.
