Caren’s film legacy was unimpressive in general. The 80s ended, and so did her career.

She closed it out with a role in Satan’s Princess, a grade-Z film from schlockmeister Bert Gordon. (The film is rated 2.9 at IMDb) I guess she didn’t need to ask for whose career the bell tolled at that point, since she decided to hang it up and go back to school. Wikipedia says she proceeded to earn a Ph.D in psychology.

But she certainly inspired many a young man’s fantasy with her nudity in this 1983 flick. IMDb says she was in eight movies and 33 TV shows, including a starring role in a short-lived sitcom, but this film presents her only nudity, to my knowledge.

Le Grand Orange is ten points behind Uncle Joe, but is either tied or within the margin of error against the rest of the Fab Five.

Dem and Dem-leaning respondents agree that Biden has the best chance to win. When asked that question directly, they say:

  • Biden 45
  • Sanders 18
  • Harris 9
  • Warren 7
  • Buttigieg 1

The great and wonderful Hickenlooper is below 1%, but not at absolute zero. The group at absolute zero consists of Bennet, Gillibrand, Inslee, Moulton, Swalwell, Yang and that hippie chick. This is definitely not the company Gillibrand wants to be in, so her campaign seems dead in the water. When you are less popular than Bill de Blasio, it’s definitely time to reassess the viability of your candidacy.

Not to mention your life.

The list above does not precisely mirror whom voters personally prefer. Among Dem and Dem-leaning registered voters, the count is:

  • Uncle Joe 30
  • Bernie 19
  • Harris 13
  • Pocahontas 12
  • Mayor Pete 4

Things look very bad for Cory Booker, who has fallen into a tie for 9th with my man Hickenlooper.

(Well, at least in one way)

Forky Deemed Potentially Hazardous to Young Children, Recalled by Disney”

Curiously, Knifey is still on the market. I got my grandkids the deluxe Bowie Knifey for Christmas.

Hey, I’m not endangering them. It’s not the JIM Bowie knife. It’s DAVID Bowie.

And Toon Town is still The Scrappiest Place on Earth, not to be confused with this blog, which is the Crappiest Place on Earth, possibly excepting Gary, Indiana.

There was no great mystery. Although it is true, as previously asserted and generally known, that Trump’s family had connections to a friendly admissions officer, it turns out that probably didn’t matter! New research has shown that just about any warm body could get in. The admissions officer who rated Trump said, “At the time more than half of applicants to Penn were accepted, and transfer students such as Donald Trump had an even higher acceptance”

(This is significantly different from today’s admission standards, in which 93% of Penn applicants are rejected!)

As noted in earlier posts:

Trump was a C+ to B student at Fordham, and earned no honors at Wharton, where one of his teachers called him “the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” He never attended grad school, so there’s nothing to offset his mediocre undergrad record. Coincidentally enough, The Donald and I were both at Fordham in 1966, he in the spring, I in the fall of that year. Same university; same calendar year.

As I have mentioned, I will be happy to share and compare our 1966 Fordham report cards, but you can bet with 100% certainly that he would never take up that challenge for any amount under any circumstances!

“Trump Tariffs Help Sink US Steel”

Things did not work out as planned.

Did Trump destroy the industry? No.

It’s complicated.

Trump’s tariffs have helped some steel companies (like Nucor), but U.S. Steel has been trapped by market forces and their obsolete technology.
