Shirley McLaine? No. Unless this is a joke, and I just don't get it.
Tommy Douglas -- who, as the father of the Saskatchewan program that soon evolved into Canada's single-payer healthcare system, well earned his place as the Greatest Canadian -- was the father of actor Shirley Douglas, who married actor Donald Sutherland, and then gave birth to their son (also actor, surprise surprise) Kiefer Sutherland.
I've just been internally chuckling at the thought of the family Christmas gathering at Grandpa Don's "house". What would one get him? Do they maybe do a white elephant exchange for laughs and giggles? Do all the kids and grandkids show up? What kind of appetizers do they have and who cooked them (maybe they all brought something, a potluck so to speak)? Oh and where's Grandma Melania?
I think they just pass around an envelope stuffed with $cash$, and they all exclaim "It's just what I always wanted!" before passing it on the left hand side. Money, one size fits all!
With melting ice in the Arctic new waterways now exist. New resources to be exploited are now more accessible and Russia, and even China have been seeking to claim. Greenland is the country to have the most sovereignty to this area when looking at a map, then Russia , then Canada. Last is USA with its odd northern chunk of earth in Alaska. Trump is so primitive in his "ideas" that he just thinks " I want" and then thinks he can take it as a four year old without proper supervision.
"Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation."
ST:TOS s1e25 - The Devil In The Dark. Shortness of available time for once dovetails with quality of episode. Erryone knows this one.. no kill I! Mama Horta has to protect the unborn in the nodules. The miners know not what they've been doing.
Jimmy Carter's passing calls to mind this joke that will really date me, but who cares:
A man goes into a coma in 1955 and only comes out of it in March of 1969. Looking out the window of his hospital room, he sees flags flying at half-mast. He asks what's up with that, and is told, "Oh, President Eisenhower just died."
"Oh fuck no!" he roars. "That means that piece of shit Nixon is president!"
I promised VelveetaSneeze a couple of my favorite Latin Jazz pieces after WDCB's 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘰 𝘐𝘯𝘯.
First up is Paquito d'Rivera's "Panamericana" live from the 2007 Newport Jazz festival. There are at least three versions on YouTube, but this one is the best. Edmar Castañeda plays a blistering solo on the Andean harp. When the band comes back after the solo, you'll hear a big Llanera influence. Also too, d'Rivera's light touch on the alto is a thing to behold.
Second is a gypsy jazz version of "Amor de Mis Amores" a/k/a "Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir" with Richard Galliano and Wynton Marsalis. Here they call it "La Foule." Note that the original is in four but "La Foule" is in three. I don't know how to dance a cumbia in three, but it's my favorite song form for dancing.
I’m shocked the Orange one isn’t buddying up to whichever Ford is a big ol archconservative that’s getting people arrested while they’re busy doing hard drugs themselves

I think Gretzky could easily high-stick the Bloated Yam...

Wayne Gretzky was a phenom on the ice but running a government is more like coaching the team Wayne Gretzky was a TERRIBLE coach.

Shirley Douglas’s dad or for non-hosers, Kiefer Sutherland’s grandpa.
FTFY!
Thanks, came here for that but figured someone must have already.
A beautiful tribute from Vote Vets

I expected something from trump like: I'm told Jimmy Carter was a great man but he's not as great as President Donald Trump.
ST:TOS s1e25 - The Devil In The Dark. Shortness of available time for once dovetails with quality of episode. Erryone knows this one.. no kill I! Mama Horta has to protect the unborn in the nodules. The miners know not what they've been doing.
Or as we say in our household: NO TICKLE I! NO TICKLE I!
Previous US invasions of Canada have not gone well. Just sayin'...

Jesus saves, but Wayne Gretzky rebounds and scores.

Once more: R.I.P., President Jimmy.
I fully expect Chump to fuck up a simple condolences.

Here's a gypsy jazz outfit I've had the pleasure of seeing several times, the Marc Atkinson Trio:

Going to dig in right now. Thank you so much, again (and for the commentary, too).

Together 77 years.
I really hate the celebrity at the Pearly Gates thing. Every single political cartoonist does it for every single celebrity when they die.
But this is Luckovitch, and Jimmy. Exceptions must be made.
Maybe it’s fitting that a Russian is getting close to breaking Gretzky’s all time goal record after G’s been buddying up to the orange one.
Ironically he plays for the Washington Capitals.

Too complicated to sort all that out.
Regular Americans don't understand Canadian politics. All Chump knows is Justin made his wife wet.
Musk on X after feeling push back from MAGA-
"Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform."
Says the guy who fostered a cesspool of propaganda, disinformation and racism.
Positive, beautiful, and informative is not what chuds do, Leon.
Burn in the cesspool fire you created, fucko.
I hope Rush Limbaugh is burning in hell, and I hope Rupert Murdoch joins him soon.
That'll surely calm down the hate-filled pustule that is your average MAGA CHUD
