My avatar is the inspired artistic homerun of Michael de Adder. I am a retired award-winning advertising copywriter, who has written three unproduced musicals, one off-Broadway play, over seventy 5-minute plays, and never driven a car.
Jason Watson is a hero and must not be forgotten. He was arrested for trying to save our country from tyranny. He sacrificed his future for ours. Don't let him become a past headline.
After Sleepy Don's recent attendance at the Knick's game, the ever incompetent Brian Kilmeade said he was greeted like a gladiator. True.
How sad that our Astronauts see a serene and beautiful Earth in space. If only it wasn't crawling with dictators and warmongers, with hunger and suppression, and with increasingly profitable yet deadly man-made toxins.
My favorite coincidence. At an ad agency in Miami, I was the voice of Leona Helmsley in all her ads. When I moved to Los Angeles, one of my first assignments for CBS was to write the TV guide ad for "The Queen of Mean". Of all the copywriters in all the world....
I WOULDN'T MIND BEING THELMA RITTER. MAYBE SHE WASN'T THE STAR. BUT SHE FILLED THE SCREEN WITH MORE THAN GLITTER. SHE WAS REAL, MORE REAL THAN MOVIE STARS ARE. From You Can't Live in L.A. Without a Car
I am not a fan of Ronald Reagan, but thought he was very good in "King's Row". Also loved how the movie fooled the censors who tried to hide the incest theme and failed miserably.
"If the world were made of gold, men would kill for a handful of dirt." Just one of the great lines from the underrated western, "The Garden of Evil".
One of America's greatest painters was Childe Hassam, who I always assumed in my ignorance was born in a foreign nation. It was only this week that I learned that this great artist was of British heritage and was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Llive and learn.
The Shah who had as much money as trump adored his wife and entombed her in the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful places on earth. trump has you know buried his wife in the desolate area of a golf course.
In preparation for No-Kings Day, I encourage all American citizens seeking a return to our democracy to visit a dollar store,where you can still buy spring operated wood clothespins, which are the perfect symbol for the nose=pinching solution to highly malodorous trump administration.
Why do you need the files to know what trump did? Isn't this one testimony enough?
A photo assembly on BlueSky tells us that Hyacinth Bucket has left us at 97,which is very sad but her humor lives on. What a full and productive life you lived Patricia Routledge.
In "Alice in Wonderland" Alice felt intimidated and afraid of all the Kings and Queens and Knaves who threatened her. She felt this sense of terror and despair right up until the moment that she uttered the words that set her free, "You're nothing but a pack of cards."
I wouldn't say religion made me gay, but when I was eight the Bible given to me by The Ruggles Street Baptist Church had a print of Samson at the Treadmill which ignited my libido.
One of Hollywood's great ironies is that leading moguls oppressed Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe by preventing them to play challenging roles. They mostly played dumb blondes, while they both had very high I.Q.s probably higher than the moguls.
I have no idea how to attach a photo to a post, but I'm going to try because this photo is so good.
