  • They draw the line at spilling secrets about other Republicans. Remember this hit from Trump’s last term?

    “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” said McCarthy, R-Calif., according to the report.

    Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., has said policymakers in Washington have been too harsh on Russia and should work more closely with Moscow to fight extremist groups.

    McCarthy’s comment prompted laughter from some Republicans in the room.

    House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told his colleagues to not share the remarks, the Post reported.

    “No leaks, all right? This is how we know we’re a real family here,” Ryan reportedly said.

    It doesn’t matter what happens behind closed doors, as long as you don’t talk about what happens there.








  • It’s a Marvel spin-off with no superheroes.

    Sort of true. Legion is actually based on the comics and even in the TV series it is revealed that he is Charles Xavier’s son. Also, a big part of the reason that the show is so wild is that you are dealing with a main character who is either a schizophrenic, or a telepathic/telekinetic mutant with reality warping powers, or worst of all both.

    I cannot recommend this show enough. I am so tired of shows that lead you around by the nose and explain everything in detail, sometimes over and over. Legion dumps you in the story, apparently in the mind of a madman, and leaves you to figure out what’s going on for yourself. The show guides you, it doesn’t lead you around on a leash. It is a refreshing experience.

    Also, Aubrey Plaza and Jemaine Clement are simply amazing in this show. Eight stars out of five in my book.






  • Your Johnny Appleseed comment reminded me of my favorite movie musical, Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin. And, yes, they both sing!

    Elizabeth: Did you know that the Fenty’s had an apple farm back in Pennsylvania?

    Ben Rumson: Apple jack, huh?

    Mr. Fenty: No, sir, we did not make apple jack.

    Ben Rumson: Then, what did you grow the apples for?

    Mr. Fenty: Mr. Rumson, do you think that everything that comes out of the earth should be used to make liquor?

    Ben Rumson: Whenever possible, yes.
