Honestly, though, I hadn't looked.

...on crutches after surgery on a broken leg, was briefed by his chief of staff, Jonathan Finer, in Boston on Thursday on issues related to Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Cuba and climate change, a spokeswoman said....

Boss Moss: Is John Kerry still alive?

I've seen no word on Kerry anywhere, since he reportedly got on the tranport, after the assassination attempt bicycle accident.

Good Lord, what's going on in here???

Oh, uh, Sorry! Sorry! Seemed like a good idea in my head.

As I mentioned earliers, we were watching the horse race on mom's big-screen, and as they were rounding the last turn, Mom brushed the remote and hit the mute button. Trying to un-mute, she changed the channel, fumbled to change it back. Just a few moments...

Yeah. Watching pre-race tv for hours, griping about waiting for the big race to start, and then missing the big finish... priceless!

Crown: Triple or Royal? Discuss. Or drink!

Party on & good night, Gracies!

Great picture weirddave!

So, watching the horse race today, and just as they round the last turn, Mom's hand brushes mute on the remote. Trying to un-mute, she changes channels.

Watched tv for hours; missed the big finish.

See what you've inspired? I hope you're properly ashamed.

Seriously, sort-of, I know I'm still in recovery, because it's all I can do to just go for the easy target, the low-hanging fruit, namely Hillarity.

Oh, sure, FS, just bless 'n' run. That's just like you.

Have a fine day.

MWW-

Someone is waiting for me, so I have to run.

You have been through (from what you're shared in your posts) a long slog, trying to do a good thing. You're probably really drained and frustrated. That's not a good time to evaluate whether you've known the right road and followed it. You know in whom you believe, You are following the right path-the way, the truth and the life. I will continue to pray for you.

New topical post up. This is still the open thread.

Me: FenelonSpoke's thesis of the day.

FS: LOL. Well, by length it might be considered heading in that direction. ;^) but I can't claim it as mine.

Heh, in haste I was trying to remember "devotional" and all I could come up with was "sermon" - "thesis" stepped up and said, "Put me in, coach," so I did.

[Interrupted and belatened by stopping to feed the pesks.]

It's -- somewhat a strain for me to not wax cynical when I read devotionals that reinforce what I've known and tried to live by for decades, only to meet constant defeat and feel like I've never known the right way, much less followed it. I could write a thesis m'self....

I think I have found the essence of the problem. It's that still, small voice behind me that whispers, "this is the way." So, I say, oh? okay! and I turn around and head that way, and I hear that voice behind me again, so I turn around....

walk around in circles... walk around in circles...

Now I gotta get another cup, roll back, relax, and read FenelonSpoke's thesis of the day.

z: …they’ve got a chick in Wolverine’s signature outfit, being wolverine, and that’s not cool. Just as “Lady Thor” wasn’t cool.

Bet you didn't care for Beta Ray Bill Thor or Thor the Frog, either?

Ah, I have seen the new Wolverinette :) now, c/o ComicBook.com. Logan's daughter or something like that? Whatev's.

Ah, Grasshopper, how refreshing your youthful naïveté! How precious your willingness to treat these matters as artistic subjects instead of the crassly commercial properties they all become. My child , it's all been horrible for a long, long time. I remember the Gwen Stacy clone!

My great disillusionment was in the ancient days of a previous millennium. One day, I picked up the latest issue of Spider-Man, and it wasn't drawn by Steve Ditko. Likewise was the Original Web Master gone from the pages of Doctor Strange. Their true canon ended there. Everything since has been mere franchising.

And Jack Kirby's descendants should be zillionaires. Had to add that.

z: "The new Wolverine &hellip is a chick"

Didn't they already have a woman with Wolverinish claws (except, IIRC, they didn't retract)?

Sorta apropo, here's a comment (padded out into a webwork) which I didn't post on Hollywood Reporter, regarding the casting of a woman for the Ancient One in the Doctor Strange film.

"Body cams for everyone."

Man, I was kinda late on that one, too.

Oooot eeeeet. Have we produced the complete works of Shakespeare yet?

Oh, right, he already did that.

Flight attendants will need to start wearing body cams.

Airlines need to add in-cabin cameras.

Mostly, every flight should have that armored knight with a rubber chicken from Monty Python, in case of an outbreak of Aggreived Complainer.

Baron Bodissey, Gates of Vienna

An eyewitness has come forward with a report on the recent incident in which a young Muslima raised a ruckus over being "discriminated against" on a United Airlines flight...

The FA said she was sorry and attempted to find a coke zero for her (which she did not have many of) and told her that she could only give her a portion of the can not the full can. This is when the lady in question started to freak out and told the FA "What do you think I will use this as a weapon?! Why can't I have the whole can?..."

Still haven't seen word one about John Kerry since he got on that transport. Have you?

Nor has the assassination attempt story had much play that I've seen.

Guess everything's jus' fine, though. The administration wouldn't lie about such a thing.

Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna doesn't mention the rumor (although a commenter does), but BB is curious about the utter lack of any pix or eyewitness accounts of the alleged bike accident. "The whole business made my spider sense tingle."

cth: "…he can call and have me read it to him…"

Save typing: Just snap a pic of the list and send that. (I have thought of that, but Milady only needed to remember the one item on the list she forgot.)

Higher tech: Snap a pic of the list, send it through optical character recognition to convert to text, send result.

Noting that OCR is still a bit flaky with some handwriting.
