Dick Cavett has been nominated for thirteen Emmy awards, and won three. Spanning five decades, his television career defined excellence in the interview format.
Don't let anyone or anything cause you to miss reading Dwight Garner's priceless review of Jared Kushner's new book, 'Breaking History' (sic). Today's New York Times, (Aug. 17) You'll see what I mean.
Surely grammar is the least of your worries, Donald, but you can't feel "badly" as you keep saying you feel about Manifort and Cohen. You feel "BAD." Period.
If you're manually clumsy you could feel, say, a woman's body clumsily. You would then be "feeling badly."
Get it?
If I need to vomit, all I require is one look at a picture of the wretched Trump brothers in their expensive hunting outfits, standing over a pile of exotic animals they have just murdered, The brothers and the corpses combine to make the perfect emetic.
Will “Suds” Kavanaugh’s petulant, half-demented, blubbery display be rewarded with a Supreme Court seat? “It takes all kinds,” we’re told. But the Court doesn’t. It’s been fine without a venomous, partisan, keg-chugging, pants-on- fire predator of women (a Trump favorite).
I was a faithful Sunday School-goer and have even gone to church. The Tyre Nichols horror has strengthened my eye-for-an-eye belief. There is no forgiveness in me. I can't wait to see those police head-kickers suffer mightily for their atrocities.
Am I a bad person?
So Trump dreams of sitting atop his wall, thumbing his nose at his enemies.
A gust of wind, he is toppled, and a new children's book is born.
"Humpty Dumpty Trumpty Had a Great Fall".
Maybe some nice child would read it to him, helping with the hard words.
Are you, or someone you know, suffering grief? Mourning?
I asked an eminent psychiatrist for good books on grief. He named only one: "A Grief Observed" by C.S. Lewis. about the death of his wife. People I've told about it have expressed great relief and deep gratitude.
A splendid collection of pieces by the incomparable Woody Allen is out. It's a tribute to Allen's skills that he has continued to produce such high quality artistry, despite those lowlifes still determined to lay him low. Get it for a dose of joy. It's called: "Zero Gravity"
What do you make of the people who seem to love Trump more and more the worse everything gets? Why is that? Do those folks have no access to television, radio, newspapers, magazines?? Please explain to me. It's making me nuts.
Deepest apologies to those who pointed out that I left out one of the letter 'i's in Giuliani's name. But isn't the less there is of Giuliani the better?
Woody Allen's marvelous book, 'Apropos of Nothing' is a smashing good read. Why not? A major American author and genius humorist, great anecdotes, fine wit, self-analysis, priceless insults and countless out-loud laughs. Perfect for our grim nowadays. Treat yourself. Get it.
There once was a fellow named Flynn.
(The one you have never seen grin.)
They say without fail
He'll land up in jail
New meaning for "I'm in like Flynn".
On the news, young male college student is cheerfully happy to be going back into classrooms, still likes going to bars, and has "decided this whole virus thing is a hoax."
Didn't it once require at least a partial brain to get into college?
Wow! Supposedly blasé, sophisticated New Yorkers are goofy with delight over our rare, rare visitor, the Snowy owl in Central Park. This white owl has great spiritual significance. For God's sake, let's hide it before Marjorie Taylor Greene has a chance to shoot it.
Is there a technical term, perhaps in abnormal psychology, for a condition in which a limited world leader's proximity to any murderous dictator produces a strong, gratifying. and irresistible tingling of the scrotum? Just wondering.
Had the fun of a chicken "wishbone" the other day for the first time in years. Shades of Sunday dinner at Grandma Richards's house when it was always, "Let Dickie have the wishbone." My new wish? It's about Betsy DeVos. And a well-aimed custard pie.
How rude of our alleged president. What an insult to his 'base' to assume they are pin-headed enough to believe we have 'turned the corner.'
If we have thanks to him, tragically we've turned that corner in the wrong direction.
Trump said in 2017 , on the subject of torture, "I happen to feel that it works."
It seems he is correct. But does he have to test if on small children?
SHAME, Mr. Pres. You must recall, with your fine education that we never feel badly, we feel 'bad'. We don't say we feel 'goodly do we?
You only 'feel' badly] if, say, you paw a woman unskillfully.
But what would you know about that?
'
Wonderful how DeSantis's cruel and heartless stunt was spoiled by the demonstration by the Martha's Vineyard folk who, to DeSantis's chagrin, responded with a show of genuine, welcoming humanity - a word DeSantis may have to look up.
What next? Trump says the Niagara of harsh attacks he's getting over his cowardly, unpatriotic performance with his friend Puty is just another case of "fake news." Gosh, It sure looked real on my TV.
A friend works for the company that turns out those scary monster masks: Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, Richard Nixon, etc. He says they're torn between which mask to turn out next to scare the kiddies: Steve Bannon or a Catholic priest.
MOTHERS IN A NEW MEXICO PRISON DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIND THEIR CHILDREN. (The New Yorker)
Read. if you can stand to. Then try NOT to think that our alleged president should be tried for what he's done. They might have to reconvene the Nuremberg jury.
You wonder if someone you once knew is alive or dead. If only there were a complete list of those who have departed. I deally, there would be a set of two volumes. 'WHO'S WHO' and 'WHO's THROUGH'.
Yes, Judge Kavanaugh, you CAN drink enough to not remember a SCRAP of what you did the night before.. Check out the subject of ALCOHOL BLACKOUTS if in doubt.
And pass it on to Grassley and other fellow geezers from the Anita Hill/ Clarence Thomas travesty.
Just saw a woman who, despite the dire warnings, is going to "ride it out" because "we've done it before, And we've taped (sic) our windows and have plenty of games for the kids to play so they won't get bored."
Are the crews taught to handle mental defectives?
Trump's pardoning of the murderous Blackwater guards is unarguably.a crime that stinks to high heaven. Even without the death of the unarmed 9-year-old boy whose head they split open. Any Trump admirer willing to defend this slaughter, please do so here.
Never thought I'd be saying this, but maybe down deep we should feel a little sorry for Donald Trump. A touch of human sympathy for a suffering fellow human being.
But how exactly do you express sympathy for the most degenerate president in American history?
