This Old Fart remembers when ABC had the Olympics, and Jim McKay was the host. They paid attention to athletes from other countries, because (I suspect) they realized that *this would be the only chance that Americans would get to see some of these incredible athletes*. So we got to see Irina Rodnina & Alexander…

You want snubs? There’s an *entire category* that is still waiting to appear. And you’ll have to agree that showing the nominees will make the whole dang show worth watching.....

The thing I remember most about Letterman was his genuine amazement at his success. He seemed embarrassed about it all, and always appreciated and thanked his co-workers and staff. Heck, his last show was pretty much a big “Thank you” to everyone who worked with him over the years.

I think it IS important to remember that it represents “man’s inhumanity to man” - because who knows when the socio-cultural-ethnic group that you belong to could find itself on the receiving end of systematic, government-approved persecution?

Sigh. Yet another “The Republicans are Evil. Why aren’t the Democrats doing anything about it?” essay. How about you direct your anger at those who are really causing the problem? Hint: it’s not the Democrats......

So, “Worlde” is basically “Mastermind”, but with words and letters.

If you can’t get it off without sandblasting, it’s not coming off onto your food.

One should also note Lincoln Perry (aka Stepin Fetchit), the first black actor to become a millionaire, and Willie Best, whom Bob Hope called one of the finest actors he ever met.

What? I can’t hear you!

Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment:
