Mitch McConnell looks like he wants to just die on the spot. He's never been that close to a black person in his life; no, not even Martin Gore! And it's just killing McConnell inside that he can't flee.

Well, godparents were originally meant to take a lot of responsibility for the moral upbringing of the child in whatever faith the family followed, and in Ms. Franklin's day i'm sure that responsibility was definitely taken more seriously.

Oh my gosh, I hadn't realized he was that old.

I read of no news outlet reporting that the poor woman died of a "heroin overdose", so, really, he can shove it. To say that anyone is attacking him because of his political opinions is some played out crap. Adults own up to their words and behaviors, and apologize appropriately.

I TRY not to get caught up in nostalgia. Failing lately. Seeing this video, suddenly I wish I were back in the 90s: just out of college, newly arrived to NYC, and experiencing all the awesomeness again for the first time; watching these sort of lo-fi videos on 120 Minutes, my neighbors hooking me up with their HBO so…

Of course she doesn't want anyone's help. She's 46 years old; why would she need anyone's help? She may have wanted to live a semi-anonymous life of leisure, but if she really didn't want to be First Lady, she could've left this dude when he decided to run. She's pretty enough that another rich man would marry her…

Fashion!
Turn to the left!
Fashion!
Turn to the right!
Oooooh fashion!
We are the goon squad
and we're comin' to town…
Beep-beep!

This is when I'm so glad I'm an unattractive, late 40s woman in New York. I will never ever have reason or impetus to speak to a man like this one.

Oh, goodness, those poor kids. RIP, Charlie.

My understanding is that performers/bands whose work Jann Wenner personally doesn't like, they aren't getting in. I wish I could remember where I came across that, but since then, I've not been shocked over who's left out. I'd also read years ago that supposedly Wenner REALLY, REALLY hates the oeuvres of both…

Kids shows from Chicago? I vaguely remember seeing Bozo, (I think Milwaukee had Chicago's Bozo Show for a bit in the 70s), but was more of a "Gigglesnort Hotel" fan. What a weird show! It had a great theme tune, too.

My first thought also. They're like kids yelling, "…and no backsies!"

I can't get over the bleach jobs these right wing media women have. That can't be good for your hair. Where I grew up, only 1 white boy I knew had that hair color naturally past age 8, and all these years later, his hair is dark brown now.

Bette was so good in Of Human Bondage. And Crawford was terrific in Rain. For some reason, though, Crawford's left me cold in her other pictures. Maybe because with Crawford I feel like I can see the work she was putting into it, whereas Davis, even in a trifle with Leslie Howard like It's Love I'm After, isn't…

I don't know how one would work it out, because Tennant's American accent is atrocious, but I always thought he and Michael Hitchcock should play siblings. And once I saw the photo of Weird Al with the short hair for the MTV gag he did back in the day, I thought, yeah, him too. They should all play brothers in some…

I co-produced an update of the audio tour for the Sixth Floor Museum a few years ago, where a surviving radio reporter is the narrator. He actually showed Oswald an exit out of the School Book Depository on the ground floor in the confusion, and didn't realize what he'd done until he saw the perp walk on TV later!

I have the DVDs of those extant episodes, and I cherish them not only as a Python fan, but a Goodies fan, also. Tim Brooke-Taylor!

Yes, I met Terry Jones ~2006, and he told me about how he'd gotten copies of Python by buying them off the BBC.

Yeah, well, there was a legal battle about the cost of storing the kinescopes, and they were dumped in upper New York Bay, according to Edie Adams in 1996. One of the lawyers had three semis worth of them loaded onto a barge, which went near the Statue of Liberty, and down, down, down they went.

HAHAHAHAHA! I don't have cable but saw some stuff online, and yeah, this whole Geraldo-at-Capone's-Vault nothingburger stuff annoys me.
