THE CONQUEROR: HOLLYWOOD FALLOUT is the best nuke documentary I've seen in quite a while. Available for streaming on local cable/satellite systems and on Hoopla. One thing that definitely needs to be fixed, though, is the Operation Crossroads screen text. Otherwise, it is an excellent film.

I didn't have "ski-high" expectations. I was just hoping my candidate wouldn't freeze up or segue from an answer on abortion to a comment about undocumented migrants.

Biden was widely viewed as having won the first 2020 debate with shouty, covidy Trump.

I'm not an ageist. I know what I saw on the tee-vee. Biden had a spectacularly bad debate performance. Historically bad. Absent a time machine, it is not "fixable." And, sadly, we'll be racing each other to get the first Trump 47 Football shot on 1/20/25.

So every single actor who appeared on QM's THE FBI (ABC, 1965-1974) has an FBI file. Good to know.

I'd love to hear these... New York party hostesses were playing embarrassing tapes of Sonny Tufts/Barbara Payton from the atomic comedy RUN FOR THE HILLS in 1953.

I remember reading this Martin J. Sherwin review back when the Los Angeles Times had a decent book review section.

Watching the 84-year-old Nancy Pelosi on CNN verbally stumbling her own way through defending Biden is a great reminder that this is a systemic problem.
