It's been ages since I looked at those available episodes and as usual I have no room to talk, but I remember an ep or two where Harney's Alice was seemingly treated and referred to as this prize for Willis to try and win - something unattainable. I think he did wine and dine her, I seem to recall them out together, I dunno how far he got. Angie was already in the mix at the time, IIRC.

NYT's Maggie Haberman gives a quasi-sympathetic - but important, I feel - look at Trump lost inside the WH.

Amazing:

LOOOOOOLLLL:

Our lone avenger strikes again:

And now, in the "Shît I Never Thought I'd Post" Department: The late, great PHIL CAREY (Asa, OLTL) stars in the cheesy vintage film The Time Travelers, featured in episode 3 of Netflix's all-new (all-fantastic) revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000. My jaw dropped.

Fox ponders O'Reilly's farewell.

Why God? Trump thinks Kim Jong-Un and Kim Jong-Il are the same person.

GOD (Part XVIII):

Joe Lando (Jake, OLTL) and Jonelle Allen (Doreen, Generations) reunite with the cast of Dr. Quinn for a Funny or Die skit:

Not done with it, but loved seeing Susan (and River) in the Doctor's pictures.

It wasn't this, either.

GOD

I never watch CW shows these days. And this show was so agonizingly hip in the early-going it was too painful to keep up with - the generational cast is very talented and the faux-Twin Peaks aesthetic worked for it but the scripts tried way, way too hard and yet often stayed pretty thin. (A little Cheryl Blossom also went a long, long way) Now that I've soldiered through to the halfway point I find it a lot more interesting, in part because the focus on the parents has increased. Marisol Nichols, a late '90s/early 2000s starlet who had bit parts in stuff like Scream 2 and was touted as one of the bright young things in that period but never quite made it, is really good as Hermione - she's weathered but she's got real grace, facets and a lot of chemistry with old Luke Perry, who I am shocked to find hot on the show. More importantly, every character is getting fleshing out - Josie and her Pussycats are becoming more than just archetypes, and even if the one Archie is becoming involved with (Valerie? Valorie?) is a bit wooden she's still appealing. And Mädchen Amick, who is lightyears away from her Twin Peaks role, sells everything but is also slowly becoming less of a cardboard shrew. It's also lovely to see Robin Givens, whose character is caught between being a typical Robin Givens imperious type and fending off her ass of a husband. Far from a great show, but it's diverting with a cute cast and it's got a lot more meat on the bone now if the writing doesn't go too shrill again. We'll see. I'm not done.

Oy.

I don't trust Mensch as far as I can throw her and I dunno who the other dude is. We'll see.

But that buzz mostly faded in days - he's back to looking like a fool over the airstrip, Bannon, etc.

I think any time he feels weak or vulnerable he feels compelled to do shīt like this. And he's felt weak and disrespected basically since election day. It is so dangerous.
