With all this discussion of blackface, nobody mentions James Whitmore in “Black Like Me”?  It made all of us uncomfortable.

They just announced on Friday 6:30 news that the two black guys were arrested and now people are discussing the possibility of them conspiring with Smollett as an attention-getting device. That would help to explain how Smollett had no facial swelling after his “brutal” attack. Smollett may have rubbed his face with…

Since restaurants add some pepper to the dipping oil, I started adding some to my melted butter. Not a lot, but it’s a definite improvement.

See: Watermelon Man (1970) directed by Melvin Van Peebles and starring Godfrey Cambridge.

He and B. Smith already made the alzheimer’s public in their book. Eventually, some tabloid would have seen the blond lady coming and going and eventually staying and made a stink over it. I think he got in front of the story and that was a very wise thing to do.  From what I read elsewhere, B. Smith was fond of the…

Recommended that people take out loans, because it’s so easy to get a loan when you’re not working.

It might have stirred up a few votes from people who simply stayed home on election day. Given the total number of votes, the election was a relatively close call.

Open-faced Reuben with melty cheese on the top layer?

I don’t get it.  He was only a mediocre liar, not one of the skilled liars.

He’ll spend two weeks at home “recovering” (waiting until the swelling around his eyes goes down).

All this is so new. I never saw hustlers on Third Avenue in New York City in the 1950’s. There were never guys with money tempting them, and none of the guys were either homeless or verging on it. Nowadays ther are so many new drugs, but young guys (black or white) thrown out of their families and frequently…

There’s a whole bunch of us who are in their 70's and a great deal closer to death than birth. He has an impairment, and most of the rest of us have some impairment as well. It’s called getting/being old. We move more slowly and are more risk-aversive. I am of the group that did not expect to get out of here on a…

Anderson Cooper was trying too hard not to appear like an AOC groupie.  People shouldn’t expect really challenging questions being posed to someone who has been in Congress for maybe 24 hours.  She pretty much radiates enthusiasm, and I am deeply in like with her.

“There’s carbon steel pans for that. Cook very much like cast iron but cost significantly less.” Exactly.  I have a set from Costco. I’d kill for them. I do not use Pam or any other spray on them since a previous set from a different manufacturer delaminated along what appeared to be the spray lines.

Weren’t there some people in the FBI who failed to make the distinction?
