Thought for the Day

I think the sight of Rudi's hair dye running with sweat was just as cringe-inducing. Was the aircon not working properly, or is this the sign of a man on the verge of meltdown?

Rudy-Rambling Patsy-Giuliani bizarre press conference was a sign of a man who is experiencing a meltdown and believes in conspiracy theories.

When I was a kid, the only 'image' of America I had was from the movies. You know, everyone had a swimming pool, drove Lincolns with horns on the front and women got their tits out at the drop of a hat (Though, thinking back, my movie choices may have been a bit suspect).
Which has left me confused.
How can America be *so* liberal and yet so conservative?

Which is a long way of getting around to...Boy, was the internet an eye-opener!...And that's my thought for the day.

I was going to say the tits thing may be true in Florida. And not just on spring break.

As an American my disillusionment with my country has grown enormously not just since internet but over the last four years. On any number of things we can watch other countries make different decisions and get better results and we will resist the changes out of enmity or national pride. Your post doesn't just speak to our national myths, or ways we see ourselves that aren't true, but also a lot of regional differences. We find ourselves divided sharply on so many consequential things.

Anyhow, there's lots of good and bad here depending on your preference and where you are. It kind of sucks that when we are bad at something we stick with it (healthcare, gun regulation, criminal justice).

As for Britain, nothing in film or theater prepared me for the fact that there is a great Indian restaurant on every block in London. And no matter which Indian restaurant you try it will be as good or better than Indian food you can get almost anywhere in the U.S. except in NYC. Also, you meet people of every economic and social strata and not just "posh" Brits that we see in our shows (a Fish Called Wanda is probably my favorite movie that plays on national stereotypes and the cultural divide between Americans and Brits).

If the US now has a 'lame duck' President, could he be referred to as 'Donald Duck, the Quack in the White House'?

Yes he absolutely can. And Donald Duck The Quack In The White House fits Donald Trump very well.

Time magazine announced its nominees for the Person of the Year today. Some of them include Governor Cuomo, AOC, Dr. Fauci, BLM activists, and Angela Davis.

There are only two types of people who deserve to win the award this year. Front line healthcare and essential workers. I think they truly went above and beyond the call of duty.

I would also like to add election poll workers to the list of essential workers.

I agree with you in both of your posts, but I wonder, is Dolly Parton the most likely to be that person?
