Mattis strikes me as someone who isn't cool with surprises. I hope he goes Mad Dog on him.

And the Pentagon denies knowing anything about this and is directing any questions about it to the White House. This is a fucking cliche but… Only imagine if Obama/Clinton had made a far reaching military policy change without consulting the top brass…

I'm all for all of this. I would accept him loudly, undeniably, and messily shitting himself in the middle of a rally. So bad it makes the people in the background retch and the SS agents hold him at arm's length as he waddles off stage.

Let's dream of an alternate history where he couldn't get deferred and was inevitably fragged by his platoon.

Imagine a substance created solely to cut up the insides of your mouth and make your tastebuds hate you, then make it swirly.

Not that she's the be-all end-all of facts, but I was interested to hear just how much of the feud stuff was discounted by Karina Longworth in her You Must Remember This Joan Crawford series. As for the TV, the catty stuff was fun, but I'm glad it ended up being more about time and Hollywood's shitty treatment of…

"She has nothing but time on her hands and this will be broadcast everywhere. She won't even know about it!"

Not brand so much as reputation, which is a very old fashioned thing. It's kind of sweet that she cares that much about something we give five shits about anymore.

"Although she’s the only living person to be depicted on the series, Murphy decided not to contact her about it before making it, saying he didn’t want to 'intrude.'”

Fantastic, Will. What a joy he is!

This article brought back strong Baptist school flashbacks.

I thought the cuts to the soldiers who were covering the street as the main guy ran for the beach said everything: We're out here trying to give you time to get home and no one will be here to save us. Also, turning them away at the mole.

Yep. That haven't accepted the maiden name thing here either.

If you're going for taste, yes. If you're just trying to get the life-sapping toxins in there as quickly as possible to release you from this bullshit, you can improvise.

That calls into question the "mentally awake" part at least.

Ivor has caught the wave. You can just say a thing whether it's based on actual fact or not. Preferably not.
