    In light of subsequent developments this was prescient.

    In passing: this was a really good skit concept, and the people doing the characters are very good (Cooper is GREAT), the writing just totally sucked. It's almost always the other way: great writing let down by crappy performances.

    I think this was a huge missed opportunity and could have been a fantastic bit.

        That’s because she was.

          Tis the season, and this is still one of my favorite scenes from West Wing. It's the little things like this that made the show.

                Not sure if anyone has been watching The Reagans on Showtime, but there is a jaw dropping moment at the end of episode two. The episode ends with Reagan’s landslide win in 1980. Walter Cronkite asks a group of CBS commentators in the studio, “who leads the progressive counter revolution?” There is some shouting of ideas, and then a very young Jeff Greenfield says, “Joe Biden, progressive junior Senator from Delaware.” Cronkite just belly laughs and says, “well, alright then.”
                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    Tried watching How To with John Wilson.

                    I can’t tell if it’s as stupid as it seems or has some sort of brilliantly weaved joke. I’m leaning towards the former.

                        We Are the Champions. Miniseries about weird competitions. I've seen the ones on the Gloucester Cheese Roll and the Bonner Brothers Hair Show. It's a fantastic series and a really good thing to watch after you've been worn down by the Nazis and/or COVID. It actually makes you proud and hopeful to be a human being.

                              To be honest, I knew I never wanted to live in NYC loooooong before I saw that show. Mostly on principle (too many people, it stinks, expensive, the usual dumb reasons). But also because I’ve spent enough time in NYC over the years.

                              Amazing place to visit, kinda crummy place to live.


                              (Also, two things. One, it took me far too long to realize what MTM meant. So read into that everything you possibly can.

                              And two, I agree. Probably. Because I’ve never seen MTM, keep reading into that, but TV and movie depictions are never right. Except Grumpy Old Men, Coach, and Mighty Ducks, they all but nailed it.)
