The “Pianist to the Presidents” is out of a White House gig.

There’s no nudity, but it’s hot stuff, and she’s J-Lo

The new Aquaman posters are out, and they are about what you’d expect from DC.
The Cracked headline is right. I usually feel confident that I know the difference between reality and urban myth, but I actually did think that Mama Cass choked on some food.
As it turns out, “Elliot’s sandwich was sitting on the table next to her, untouched, according to the police investigation.”
“In reality, the coroner’s report showed that she died of a heart attack due to a ‘fatty myocardial degeneration due to obesity.’ So her death ultimately was due to her weight, but somehow the world’s comedians decided there wasn’t quite enough of a fat joke in that.”
At this point, I’m pretty sure NASA is just fuckin’ with us.
“President Trump expects and even demands difficult questions from journalists, but for Acosta to infiltrate a hospital dressed as a nurse in order to plant explosives is simply beyond the pale.”
“Let me finish. Let me finish. Answer me: Did you or did you not try to put a new spin on the classic Christmas tale? The nation needs answers.”
“At press time, Universal Pictures had banned Acosta from doing any press interviews for their film.”

“The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 says migrants can claim asylum regardless of how they crossed the border and some legal experts have said the changes could violate that law.”
Wait! So what? Since when did Trump worry about some wimpy-ass laws? He and his team don’t need no stinkin’ badges.
He has already declared that the President doesn’t have to obey any laws he considers unconstitutional. In essence, this means he doesn’t have to obey any laws at all, since he can simply say he considers any inconvenient ones to be unconstitutional. Of course, the Supreme Court can overrule him, but that takes time, and he’s got them on his team now …
So laws are merely pieces of paper to be crumpled and discarded.
Those are some amazing numbers. I guess it must be a seller’s market, because Harper has been hot and cold. The biggest plus is that he’s only 26 and probably has his best years ahead of him, but he has batted below .250 in two of the last three years, and is averaging only 29 homers and 91 RBI per year in that period.
If that’s Harper’s market value, how the hell much would Mike Trout be worth on the open market?
Anyway, back to the point …
The White Sox are supposedly pursuing Harper, but several people have concluded that only about three or four teams in the game (1) can afford him; and (2) can offer him a chance at a ring. The Sox are never mentioned in that group. NBC Sports thinks he’s destined for the Phillies, but acknowledges the interest shown by the White Sox.
I have stated this many times, but if I were his age and had his talent, I would proactively try to play in Colorado, where my talents would produce the best results. Coors Field is a place where a hitter like Altuve could approach .400 and a slugger like Stanton could challenge Bonds’ homer record without any help from the needles. Playing there for a decade would punch Harper’s ticket for Cooperstown. All of that would be true at any time, but there is a special bonus in doing it now, because the Rockies already have a contending team without him, so he could be their entry pass into the post-season.
Can they afford him? I dunno. That part of the equation is beyond my pay grade, but if I were their owner and knew that Harper was interested, I’d try to find the money.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospitalized After Falling, Fracturing 3 Ribs
She’s barely alive even on her best days, so this could set off a bad chain of events. It’s not like she was playing rugby, or fell down a flight of stairs. She fell in her office. That makes her seem very fragile.
