What?!

R.I.P Marilyn Bergman (1928-2022)

Maybe we should just skip 2022 and go straight to 2023?! This year has not started well at all...... Marilyn Bergman co-wrote so many of Babs best songs, including the entire song score to Yentl. And of course this gem.

Wow..... This new year starts like the old one ended. R.I.P

Don't give them any ideas!!

Wait, what? He's not seriously comparing Novak to Jesus, is he??!!

What a complete mess this has turned into, and what an embarrassment for Tennis Australia and their two panels of experts who gave Djokovic the exemption to begin with.

Under no circumstance would that ever have been a big loss! Edit: I dread to think what their idea of a big 50th anniversary will mean....

What a load of crap! Not to mention incredibly hypocritical, since I don't think he has any children himself..... Pope Francis says choosing pets over kids is selfish The practice "is a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity", he added. Funny that he should feel this way about having pets instead of children, but be perfectly ok with the practice of chastity for Catholic monks and nuns..... Does that make them lose a part of their humanity as well?

^^ For what it's worth, I actually agree with him on that. It shouldn't take that long. Either he has a valid visa and a valid medical exemption or he doesn't. A six hour detention like that is ridiculous.

Looks increasingly like Debbie is not coming back! https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a38660810/emmerdale-debbie-dingle-charley-webb-instagram-exit/ 🕺👏🎆🍾🎉

^^ Probably not. But with all the attention this has gotten and the outrage it has stirred up in Australia (and elsewhere) I wouldn't completely rule it out either.....

Novak Djokovic: Australian Open vaccine exemption ignites backlash

^^ And does anyone believe that this medical exemption would have been granted if the player had been some unknown qualifier from Austria named Faber Gstrein.... or anyone else not named Novak Djokovic?

Novak Djokovic says he will compete at Australian Open with medical exemption Hmm, medical exemption..... I can't help but wonder about this. It could be legitimate, but it could also be an easy way out for the organizers to avoid banning the #1 player in the world from participating.
