When I read about how the Senate Republicans rushed through the nomination of Bove I just think back to the house in days when men were men… Those wonderful days of Billy Sol Estes

In 1970, prior to heading to Asia (Vietnam) for two years as a TIME-Life photojournalist I spent a few days inDublin, apparently near the O"Connell tower, I photographed these young lads... 55 years ago...WHO are they? Where are they? Would love to share a beer with them now!

I can’t believe that someone who is exactly my age… 78… Has so little understanding of the history of the world for the last 50 or 60 years it’s unbelievable

I wasn’t sure if it was simple, math or compound math: but today is Tyrone’s 11th birthday. Time is that by the number of years per dog years, and yes, we are the same age.

Matt Gutmsn is an ok reporter ( ABC NEWS) but after you’ve seen a half dozen vids of trucks and cars disappearing in Houston flood waters, do you really have to stand out in the frickin’ water to make your point? A very 1970s kind of ‘stand up’ - insulting!

Best line of the day: Chris Wallace ref Tucker’s “interview” with Putin- calling Tucker a” useful idiot “ is unfair to useful idiots

Pls ask Pee-wee Herman to go to his attic and fetch the “I know you are, but what am I” Gold Metal so it can be presented to Jim Jordan, who blew off a request from the Jan6 Comm. abt the same way that Hunter Biden did his comm. except Hunter Biden actually offered to testify.

Let’s be honest: World Press Photo has kind of lost its way.., no longer does the word “Press” imply veracity, fair & true reporting.

I don’t know why this took so long to become evident to me, but the 40ish DC policy makers with blinders ( no aid to Ukraine! ) were children who grew up long after World War II, and essentially have no international purview. No ColdWar memories.

Victim of its own success: the air train at JFK airport so popular then, in the evening, when zillions of people are waiting to take it the trains are spaced way apart, and it takes forever
