Busy this afternoon with a script…and tonight, I'm moderating the "talkback" for Dan Castellaneta's play which I wrote about here. Tonight's performance is sold out. In fact, most of them are sold out but they added a few more performances so maybe one of them still has seats left. Go check here.
No Trump Dump today but take a read of Jonathan Chait. He's right. If Trump's taxes came out and he admitted on them that he'd made a couple million making child porn and selling U.S. military secrets to Kim Jong-un, the Republican congress still wouldn't act. They'd probably hold ten more Benghazi hearings just to try and sell the idea that Hillary was the real threat. The only way they'll ever hold Trump accountable is if he becomes such a political liability that he looks like he's going to drag the party down to defeat soon.
A few days ago, the National Weather Service was predicting more than an inch of rain on Sunday so the folks doing the Academy Awards scrambled and began setting up tents to protect all those lovely gowns and rented tuxes. But things change and now they're saying mostly light showers in the morning petering out throughout the day. The tents may still come in handy but they may not be necessary.
We've found on more person — super-dealer Bud Plant — who has been at every single Comic-Con International so that makes five of us. Anyone else?
As you know, a source of constant annoyance to me is the stream of unsolicited phone calls I get, trying to sell me on hiring the caller to do construction work on my home or install solar panels. Lately, I've had a new one. Next week, I turn 65 so I'm hearing from Medicare Supplemental Insurance sellers. Many of them do their best to sound like they're from the actual governmental Medicare office and if I let them get through their whole shpiel, they would sign me up for their product, making me think it's a necessary part of completing my Medicare enrollment. This is even slimier than the contractors who call and try to convince me that we spoke last year and I told them to call back because I'd be ready for a free estimate about now. If Trump will do something to stop these calls, I will stop posting about what a rotten human being and leader he is.
