but one of my fave bad random actor action figures is Denis Leary as Edgar Friendly from Demolition Man. The figure is truly a wonder for the ages, probably sculpted by the cousin of the guy who did the Nedry figure. "You know what Friendly needs?" "What?" "Less clothes." *rips off pants*

I saw #JurassicWorldRebirth yesterday and am left with so many questions that are not about dinosaurs. Like are Altoids still crunchy after being submerged in water? How long do the batteries in store displays last? (or car batteries)? I've now looked up info on aerial flares..

Are we a kingdom, Trump in his castle?
Or is he a pawn, our nation a vassal?
Balances thwarted, we've crashed in a ditch.
Guardrails came off, thanks Moscow Mitch.
So listen, dear world, and mourn us, you see:
America, the superpower, but now RIP.

I felt a bit inspired this morning.
"Obituary of a Superpower"
Listen, my friends, for this is the hour:
Our nation, no more the West's superpower.
Since forty-five, we've been the light on the hill
But Trump's given that up, he's just Putin's shill.
