White House: Kelly comments on Trump's call to the Gold Star widow
"He thought that the President did 'the best job he could.'"
At last, a statement from the administration I agree with. I am sure Trump did the best he could, much as I would do if asked to play quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

Cambridge students warned Shakespeare plays may distress them
Cambridge students warned Shakespeare plays may distress them
"Cambridge is the latest of universities to issue trigger warnings to students. The University of Glasgow alerted theology students that they may see distressing images of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ."
My trigger warning: when you go to the Roy Rogers Museum, be aware that there is a stuffed horse.

He went full Cosby. You never go full Cosby.

I can't wait to hear the reactions to this.
By the way, this is the top academic school in Mississippi.
Although, to be fair, consider the competition. That's like saying Frank Beard is the best-groomed member of ZZ Top.

Two Nipples on the Carpet was also an obscure but brilliant Herman's Hermits song. I believe it was the long-forgotten flip side of Two Silhouettes on the Shade

Cubs lose, Cubs lose
Cubs lose, Cubs lose
They have dug a 3-0 hole, and have scored only 4 runs in the three games.
I have to say the Dodgers are kinda awesome.

The Yanks tie it up
The Yanks tie it up
Most sports sites are making much of the fact that, thanks to clutch Yankee slugging, the Astros blew a 4-0 lead. I think the real story of the game is this: the Yankee pitchers held the best offense in baseball to three hits, allowing the Yankee offense time to do its job.

Hollywood Celebrities at Oscars Thank Harvey Weinstein More than God
Hollywood Celebrities at Oscars Thank Harvey Weinstein More than God
Although, to be fair, Harvey did more for their careers. Again, I'm no theologian, but I'm guessing God is pretty neutral on the Oscars. Satan, however, obviously made some deals, notably with the people who got Oscars for Chariots of Fire, Crash, and A Man and a Woman.
Although A Man and a Woman's Oscar for Most Annoying Score was well deserved.

A great start from Sabathia, homers from Judge and Frazier.
The Astros, with the best offense in baseball, got only four hits (although they did draw eight walks). Even the great Altuve was collared.
