I wish someone journalist would track down the enlisted guys he led. He seems like the kind of officer who puts his troops in unnecessarily risky situations

RIP Juan Jose Valdez, a US Marine enlisted NCO who was the last man out of Vietnam. He also was prominently featured in Ken Burns’s Vietnam doc

Watched the Hersh doc. If you like old guys being testy on camera, it’s great. Otherwise pass.

Has there ever been a good campus comedy or drama for tv? Perhaps The Chair with Sandra Oh? Everyone references The Paper Chase, but I recall it as underwhelming.

One grandfather in Montana owned a hardware store and the other one owned a moving company and ran a cattle ranch in ND

I think Tuberville is un-passable.

Looks like shingles.

The Last Duesenberg Ever Built: The Rare 1966 Model D Prototype | Jay Leno's Garage YouTube video by Jay Leno's Garage

A Jay Leno video showcases a truly rare car, a 1966 Duesenberg prototype. It was an attempt by a Duesenberg heir to revive the brand. The car was designed by Virgil Exner, who designed the 1947 Studebaker for Raymond Loewy and the Forward Look Chryslers in the 1950s.

Don’t know the answer to either question, but that is a very large chandelier.

Millers is what made me think of Poulter, so thanks for the lookup!

Crippling the output of Will Poulter, the Rock, John Belushi, and Roger Moore (too lazy to see if any made a Warner's film.

We have a bright yellow one driving around our city. Looks like a lemon wedge.

I interviewed him in the late 80s. He was very funny and at that point very open about the studio system and early Hollywood.

Here's a clip of the first Korean supergroup to make it big in the US. The Kim Sisters were two sisters and a cousin who started right after the Korean War entertaining GIs in NCO clubs

Hope the car owners paid them handsomely!

RIP Robert Carradine, an idiosyncratic actor in films such as Coming Home and The Long Riders, but found stardom in Revenge of the Nerds and Lizzie McGuire.

The drooling doesn’t help either.

A couple of scenes with Kathleen Robertson and Hannah Ware might have caused some uneven sideburns.

Please send him into a war zone. I’d like to see him try the weave with live rounds flying.

Very cool invention!

RIP Tom Noonan, the tall, sepulchral actor who specialized in fanatics, killers and misunderstood employees. He is memorable in roles in Manhunter (as Francis Dolarhyde), Heat, Hell on Wheels and many others.

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now, honey, that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I’m sad, sad, sad

RIP Robert Duvall, a true character actor who became a leading man through force of talent. He was great in The Great Santini, Tender Mercies, Falling Down. He found his true calling in a series of western rolesβ€”Lonesome Dove, broken Trail and Open Range.

I have a feeling Dennehy would have played it with a smile tinged by insanity.

Liz Kreutz, NBC news reporter, gets the unprofessional dipshit award for the following interview:
Pima County sheriff: we are very close…
Kreutz: what one day, two days, three days?

Shameful

I imagine every other top level Trump appointee does the same stuff. They are under the radar because Noem is BrownShirt Barbie
