THANK YOU GEORGIA!!!
RIP to Rutger Hauer, a good guy adept at playing guys, and the improvisational genius behind the best moment in the outstanding original version of Blade Runner, the “tears in the rain” speech given after his supposedly less than human replicant saves the life of Harrison Ford’s pursuing detective moments before his own life is about the run out of time:
You can tell us “the things people wouldn’t believe,” about moments that would “be lost in time” (were it not for the Internet), in comments below.
And other recent RIPs include Paul Krassner — whose “The Realist” was the first counterculture adult humor magazine, well before The National Lampoon and Spy, and some issues of which may still be in my garage — and Robert Morganthau, longtime prosecutor (both federal and county DA for Manhattan), who was a scourge of corruption and — among other things in the news — successfully called for the release of the Central Park Five when evidence exonerated them.
Between them and Hauer, Death made quite a haul in just a week’s time.
Read this piece on fact-checking Trump about his statements about “The Squad”: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/07/republicans-lies-trump-racist-attacks-squad.html
*Rutger Hauer was awesome….go to IMDB.com and look up all his works……very impressive. He was believable in every role. A truly great actor. Always was our dream to see Rutger do a gig with Christopher Lambert. That would have been something! Can’t believe he was only 75….Ridiculous…..probably bad medicine…we will bet.
*Bro…go easy…..we loved you!”
As far of the demise of Mad Magazine…..there are no words for our grief.
MAD Magazine ending its run? NOOOOO!

OK … apparently yes. Damn. Maybe they were waiting for Paul Krassner to die first.
Well, thanks, William Gaines and company, for an entertaining and illuminating childhood (my subscription years were during the magazine’s height, in the late 60s and early 70s. There are still movies that I can’t remember whether I’ve actually seen, or just know so well through MAD’s movie parodies.)
(I’m going to go check to make sure that Tom Lehrer is still alive. … OK, he is, though he’s 91.)
I just found this novelization of the Mueller report — with graphic novel-style illustrations — and it’s great! Not nearly so dry as Mueller’s version.

Most hillarious verdict on the hearings from a commenter to a You tube clip of a Jimmy Dore Show commentary-
The person who learned the most from the hearings on the Mueller Report was-
………….. Robert Mueller !
For WOT another YouTube “suggestion”-
10:45 “that’s why we need more independent candidates….” (except “Top 2” Prop 14 effectively squashes THAT)
Not altogether. Not in districts with lopsided registration.
Perhaps of interest (for WOT)-
“….we WON’T…..get FOOLED……A- GAIN….” The Who (1971)
*Anna just found a June 2019 Mad Magazine. Awkward Man was unbelieveable! These guys need to keep going…
