If ICE was really rounding up gang members and murders and traffickers, we'd see mugshots and charges multiple times a day. They would crow about it. There would be an ICE channel on DirecTV. They don't. Because they ain't.

Tonight's cocktail of candy corn and ZzzQuil may be ill advised but it can't make me anymore ill.

The Dr. Squatch people don't realize that selling products to make someone "smell like a man," they are proving that masculinity can be attained by means outside the body. Any "real" man would smell like a man already. Their smell would logically be a "manly" smell.

Tootsie is on TCM right now, and I recently found out the reason Dustin Hoffman used a Southern accent for Dorothy is because he was coached by fellow theatre actor Polly Holliday, who played Flo on Alice.

I appreciate this, and it's very kind of you. But I will not use a means that is intentionally outmoded. I won't use a telegraph app either. Businesses that want my money cannot make me jump through hoops to give it to them.

If the Aflac system is down, they can't take a claim over the phone, and they can only suggest filing by fax. And we all have a fax machine right next to our butter churn. Your local UPS Store will gladly fax something for you for TWO DOLLARS A PAGE.

Got my Covid booster at a NC CVS without affirming any preexisting conditions. I made an appointment through their website and got the shot within ten minutes of my arrival. Of course they may have looked at me and assumed I was a feeble 65-year-old. I DID post about Shackleton earlier.

I preferred the first draft of Event Horizon when it was called the USS Nine Inch Nails.
