You might be a bit young for them. Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster started performing together as school kids in Toronto in 1931. They began appearing on radio in 1941, and joined the Canadian Army in 1942, entertaining audiences in Canada, the UK, and eventually Canadian troops in France. They returned to radio after the war and began to appear on American TV in 1950, and Canadian TV in 1954. They eventually signed a one year contract with Ed Sullivan in 1958, but would appear on his show at least 58 times over the next 11 years. They also did some specials for BBC.
Through it all they remained in Toronto on the advice of Sullivan, and continued to work for CBC after their appearances on US TV ended. They produced material for the CBC until 1990, when Johnny Wayne died of cancer. Frank Shuster died in 2002.
Frank Shuster's cousin Joe was the co-creator of Superman.
No, no, I'm old enough to have watched Ed Sullivan "real time." But, admittedly, I was only ten the last time Wayne and Shuster would have appeared on his show, so ...
I am delighted to have been introduced to them. Thanks!
Joshing aside, do be careful. Remember, per Bill Shakespeare, that "...a little ere the mightiest Julius fell, the graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets."
The salad or the dictator??? LOL I'll have to check it back in soon and figure it out. Gotta go take care of some things here, nothing as fun as lunching in interesting places, sadly.
Here's the Nice guidelines used in the UK to diagnose Chronic heart failure. It suggests an echo cardiogram instead. The only reason he would have any imaging would be if his NT‑proBNP was above 400. Which they didn't mention in the reports they released.
"Cardiac MRI is an expensive form of imaging, and much of this diagnostic information could be provided by less costly non-invasive imaging techniques, chiefly echocardiography"
I would also argue an echocardiograph takes 5-10 minutes, MRI takes 15-90 minutes. So why would they use imaging that takes longer and shows the same thing.
If theDemocrats fail to take back the House it will be fault of spineless Hakeem Jeffries. And if they do take back the House they really need to find a Speaker who will take the fight to Trump.

"Since 2020, Mackenzie Scott has given away over $19 billion to more than 2,400 nonprofits that support causes like racial justice, education, and economic mobility. This year alone, she has donated more than $700 million to over a dozen historically Black colleges and universities, institutions that rarely receive major funding from other billionaire philanthropists and foundations." https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/470404/mackenzie-scott-amazon-trust-based-philanthropy-explained
That's amazing. Mackenzie Scott is incredible, but there aren't nearly enough like her, which is why the success of our society shouldn't have to rely on the kindness of billionaires.
Which would be a lot easier if those billionaires were mere ten-millionaires, since then all that money would be available to non-billionaires who historically have done more useful things with their money.
"Trump, holding his latest cabinet meeting at the White House, riffed almost incomprehensibly about bringing down drug prices, then turned his attention to “the fat drug.” "F-A-T for fat people,” he specified. “Anybody use it at the table? Don't answer.”
He also said he thinks he's "sharper than I was 25 years ago," referencing a recent New York Times report suggesting the 79-year-old's health and stamina are waning." [HuffPost]
I'm sure Betsy Devos has a yacht in the Gulf of Mexico. If she decides to take all her rich friends for a trip southward, and Venezuela determines that they're American drug dealers bringing guns and money to the Venezuelan narcoterrorists, I guess Venezuela would be perfectly in the right to drone strike that yacht.
As I mentioned yesterday, I've been assigned to cook the damn turkey for the HOA potluck this weekend (I suspect that they suspected that I was going to avoid the party and thus gave me this task). While being volun-told about this, it was impressed upon me that it HAS TO cook for FOUR AND A HALF HOURS. Over and over. But no temperature. I'm thinking of either cooking it for that amount of time at 200 degrees or at 700 degrees and giving it a big shrug.
I have no sympathy for these "people at the Pentagon" or any military personnel who follow orders so blatantly illegal that they are used as an example of a blatant war crime in materials that every military member receives as part of their training.
Is it appalling that Hegseth would do this? Sure. Is it surprising? No.
Regardless of whether Hegseth "took responsibility" or not, Bradley - and everyone else who participated - is culpable.
Kristi Noem Xitter, yesterday: “I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS. WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”
All countries, it is no longer the cold war where the first and second world fought each other using the third world as pawns, nowadays the USA is fighting everyone.

I was supposed to eat lunch looking out on where Joan of Arc was burned but Rouen got left off the itinerary

Here's a '70s version of Wayne and Shuster's classic "Rinse the Blood Off My Toga."

If you have a waiter called Brutus
He'll give you a stab for a laugh.
Then he'll take off for lunch, because "Eat, too, Brutus?"
Well played.

And if there's one thing nobody needs during lunch, it's sqeaking and gibbering.
Unless it's a White House luncheon...

They're just protecting their borders after all.
Noting that Olivia Nuzzi's book is available today, a poem by RFK Jr:
“Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest. Drink from me Love.
I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth.
I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow.
‘Dont spill a drop’. I am a river You are my canyon.
I mean to flow through you.
I mean to subdue and tame you.
My Love.”

I don't fancy myself that much of a poet, but I bet I could write a poem about getting a blowjob that wasn't quite so rapey.

Yeah, this is literally a "textbook example" of a war crime

Our forefathers built this nation on blood and sweat? No, Kristi. You're thinking of SLAVES! Who were officially "immigrants!"
The blood of the Natives, the sweat of the Slaves
Not sure who she’s mad at. Was she drunk?
You're thinking of Jeanine Pirro. Kristi's a homicidal maniac.
