I can't complain, but sometimes I still do. My first book, Heart and Darkness: Scary Adventures and the Evolution of Disney's Dark Rides is available worldwide on Amazon from Theme Park Press.

Vincent Price's portion of "Thriller" is a masterful display of timing & inflection, but I've always wondered if having to say "y'all's" threw him.

Aside from maybe being able to afford to buy a house, this is really the only thing I'd like to return to the 1950s for - new weekly episodes of Disneyland, featuring a behind the scenes look at the park & live & animated featurettes. Like this, from 1957: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBkJ...

Rhetorical question, but why can we vote for members of Congress & the President & not the SCOTUS? One would think that voters should have more of a direct say in anyone granted a lifetime appointment with so much potential to shape the country's future.

Under the OSHA law, employers are responsible for providing a safe & healthful workplace for their workers. Clarence Thomas wants that brought to an end. www.aol.com/clarence-tho...

RFK Jr barbecued & ate a dog, & he's not even the worst person running for President. Though he's a very close second to Donald Trump.

I hope Steve Bannon's prison bunk has bed bugs. But how would he even notice? They've traveled with him for decades.

Hope Darby O'Gill & I can go home for another beach walk soon! He's no fan of Cape Cod's shark infested waters, but does love running around in the sand!

She may be able to help with underboob sweat, but that Lume lady sure won't be able to conceal the stink of yesterday's SCOTUS ruling & its impact on American democracy.

Donald Trump packed the SCOTUS with 3 more Jar Jar Binks than his conservative predecessors had already provided, & now he won't even have to operate in the shadows of society to conduct his assault on freedom & democracy.

"The witch hunt has left me bloated & orange. But I assure you, my brand has never been stronger. In order to ensure the security & continuing stability, the United States will be reorganized into the First Trump Empire." Thanks for that immunity ruling, SCOTUS. You assholes.

On the plus side, it seems that now all a homeless person has to do to avoid arrest is become President.

I sure hope Biden's next official act is to write an executive order canceling November's election & declaring himself Emperor.

#Newsweek shall we look forward to John Mac Ghlionn's op ed on how at age 68, the unmarried & childless/grandchildless, Lindsey Graham is not a suitable role model for men?

Seems only fair following his nonsensical piece on Taylor Swift.

Good morning to everyone but Newsweek, that plonker, wee gnomish thing John Mac Ghlionn, & anyone else who thinks someone who'd do this isn't a good role model for young women.

Not to be ageist, but to be a little ageist, where are the viable Democratic candidates for President between the ages of 45 - 60? It's like Boomers are the only age bracket that will be able to retire, but they refuse to.

Congrats to Phil & Claire Dunphy of Modern Family on reaching the same level of sitcom coupledom that allows for them to appear in commercials together, as Frank & Marie Barone.

Just sat through 1980's The Hollywood Knights, an astonishingly derivative & vastly inferior take on George Lucas' American Graffiti, even down to interludes with a radio deejay. Just awful. The film's sole redeeming element is that it's the big screen debut of Michelle Pfeiffer.

By the way more than 10% of US homeless are veterans. That's more than 1 in 10. I guess now than weed is legal Republicans needed some "suckers and losers" to fill their for profit prison beds and provide slave labor to the state. It's a goddam travesty. Shame, Shame, Shame on you America.

Generation X is so often ignored in favor of boomer or millennials, but I'd like to propose a scenario for the next debate borrowing from a show from my youth, where anytime a candidate lies, they're slimed. Trump would no doubt leave the stage looking like Swamp Thing.
