Minnie Driver was on a beach in Rio when the producers offered 5,000 dollars and free flight to do that terrible song.

All I remember from this is that Dan Patrick kept joking that if Costas clinched a sports emmy because he was “playing through pain”.

Thanks, (Michelle) Obama

Roman nobility stratification is complex and weird. So, I don’t know.

Well, when it came to actually persecuting Christians, Diocletian was the most efficient at it.  

And the Greeks (who called themselves Romans even though the Romans conquered them)

Guy had most accomplishments of any astronaut.

I though Lincoln was great, but I had a feeling that had a lot to do with Tony Kushner screenplay.  

Apparently, it was a holdover from the GE days, when all the top executives had them. Apparently, Lauer got a old GE exec office and used for his own needs*.

I didn’t know that anybody except me liked that movie.

Presidents who played Golf (not comprehensive)

It was number one on the itunes chart for a while, but I haven’t seen it in the top ten for a while, maybe nobody likes hearing O’Reilly whining after a certain bit.

Dean and Butterfield had no interest in ratting out their boss. It was only when they were in legal jeopardy that they ratted out their boss (Butterfield was not in that much legal jeopardy, he realized lying to congress would be bad).   

Felt was not liked in the FBI, he was Hoover’s hatchet man. Combine Felt’s patriotism, with his willingness to do whatever Hoover wanted, you can build a compelling portrait of the man.
