When You Miss The Chance To Say Hi, You’d Better Say Goodbye
You’ll forgive me if I’m a little shorter than usual today, which given my stature is all the more significant. I’ll be spending a few hours this afternoon at Forest Lawn attending a funeral of someone I haven’t seen in more than 35 years and barely knew in the first place. And I wouldn’t miss
It’s The Last Of The Ninth For FanDuel
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional essays on business and technology. Turns out there is something to the concept that you can get too much of a good thing. Not that I didn’t already realize that
Bunny > Groundhog
Later this morning, as dawn descends on the hamlet of Punxsatawney PA where the thermometer currently reads a balmy 3 degrees, we will learn via a nocturnal mammal whether there will be only six more weeks of that sort of chill. Last night, we most certainly began a stretch of at least one week where
Who’ll Be The Leader Of The Club?
How fortunate for the crew at FX and their sister networks that they finally found their way onto the Disney lot as full-time residents last month–a mere six years and ten months after they were acquired. I guess they found enough time to purge and pack efficiently, which likely meant they could hit the ground
Word Of Advice, Don. Focus On 42, Not 47.
Once again, any sincere attempt to separate media and politics was made impossible by the current administration. After all, on a day when they knew millions of Epstein Files were being flooded like raw sewage and runoff that included a whole bunch of incideniary stuff and when Brett Ratner’s grifted work release project was being
Bialystock And Bezos Open Today
Yeah, it’s a slow movie weekend. Unless you’re a fan of documentaries, there’s scant little out there for you to even consider dropping in on–assuming, of course, you’ve dug yourself out of snowdrifts and haven’t succumbed to a raging flu. There’s one about Paris Hilton called INFINITE ICON: A VISUAL MEMOIR–pretty much a straightforward retelling
At Least They’re Still Trying To And Capable Of Making A Difference.
This morning an awful lot of really special people are waking up in South Florida. That tends to be true this time of year anyway given the folks who are blessed enough to be at least part-time residents of the area, but this year it’s even truer given the plethora of braintrust and brilliance that
There’s Plenty Of Politics At CBS News. Just Like Any Other Office.
If Bari Weiss were as good at reporting on news as she is in making it, she’s probably would have already been awarded a Peabody or a Pulitzer Prize. Who knows, maybe FIFA might have created an award just for her, too. Don’t take that comparison as merely a feeble attempt at snark on my
At Least Here It’s Post Time
I may no longer be recognized at a studio commissary as a frequent buyer, but at least the resillient gentleman who works the night shift at my nearby 7-11 still treats me as such. He specifically orders copies of New York-based newspapers which his neighboring stores have long since stopped carrying because, let’s face it,
