I won’t share it here because that feels like promotion, but The Week published it in 2017.

He also wrote an essay objecting to Banned Books Week, which I just read for the first time a few minutes ago, and which is a bald-faced denial of the constant legal challenges towards books of all kinds that have become frighteningly more commonplace in the last few decades.

Say the National Statuary Hall opened for the first time today and you get the choice of any two notable, impactful for the best people from your home state to represent that state. Who are you choosing?

That being said how about the 1972 dramedy Grassy Knoll?! More Like Grassy Nope! starring Melinda Dillon as a Dallas woman caught in a love triangle with a JFK truther (James Caan) and a level-headed librarian (Al Freeman Jr.)

I like JFK, not because I like conspiracy theories or anything, but just because it’s so bonkers. I’m a big fan of John Candy’s performance and I like the score by Williams. Not really an Oliver Stone guy, so I get it.

Not politicians, but don’t forget about Conan O’Brien, Mother Jones, John Sayles, Debbie Reynolds, Terrence McNally, Anna Kendrick, Emma Stone, Stephen Colbert, Julia Roberts, Mathew Brady, Roger Ebert, Georgia O’Keeffe, Liza Minnelli and Robert Redford. Plenty of good eggs to outweigh the bad eggs.

Shoot I meant Season 1-3 for SpongeBob. Season 4 started the downfall of the show towards what I assume it is today. The first movie’s good though.

Anyone who has ever had anxiety from flying probably wishes exhausted entertainment options were their biggest problem while on an airplane. This is not ADHD. This is just dudebro douchiness.

Which movie from the 1980s do you think is under-appreciated? Which one from the 1990s? What is your favourite breakfast cereal mascot? What is your number one song for starting a party? Which cartoon character would win in a fight? Donald Duck or Daffy Duck?

Willie Mays passing away is a tough one. He retired 22 years before I was born, but I feel as though I grew up watching him. Ted could hit for average. Babe for power. Rickey and Lou had legendary speed. Brooks and Ozzie legendary hands. Stan was a true ambassador for the game. Willie did it all.

Kind of reminds me of this documentary in that it was supposed to be about one subject and was instead about something else entirely. Which hurts me having been such a fan of The Magic School Bus as a child and a big baseball fan.:

BTW! The first movie in question and Exit to Eden would probably be the most despicable and ill-advised double feature of all-time. Shoot! I just gave Quentin Tarantino an idea. Sorry Los Angeles!
