  1. We've got the heat wave over here on this side of the Atlantic too. It's been high 90's since the weekend and over 100 yesterday. Thankfully it broke today, with a short downpour. My garden is crispy.

  2. You know it's bad when you're getting heat index numbers near 110 this far north and east. Absolutely ridiculous.

      Nah, just a bunch of very sick people, spewing disgusting and terrible things out of their mouths one after another.

      Also, apparently there's Norovirus around.

      1. Put it up when a Trump offspring was speaking, but too much perfectionist tinkering irritated IntenseDebate so it went to "moderation."

        But: Zappa. What an amazing guy.

        And what's the deal with [ Rebecca Pidgeon?] David Mamet's girlfriend or wife, fine. But is she any good?

        1. There are no words I can come up with to speak of Frank. An old school joke was to just say 'ineffable '
          C_R_ may have some.
          Can't say for sure I've heard, or heard of, Ms. Pidgeon. One live clip of "Spanish Harlem" seems nice.
          If you like her, buy it. We generally only make fun of gp's taste.

          1. Rebecca Pidgeon, Cheryl Crow, Edith Piaf (the Little Sparrow)…so many birds, so little time.

        1. Was Tom Ridge the stupidest politician ever elected? Discuss.

          (1) W liked him because he made W seem smart.
          (2) He looked like J Edgar Hoover but may not have been a cross-dresser.

    1. Yeah. I would cut slack for a lotta people on that…………but not her.
      Also, G.E. Smith has been getting flack [ like in 2112 ] for playing the gig, but reports are they just played this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnHLgxKUsEA

      so maybe a little snark wielded in-between the schlock. Now wonder what the whole playlist contains, if there is one.

      1. For the youngs …………
