For all the claims of media bias, Leslie Stahl gets Nancy Pelosi to state some unconvincing, flat denials to valid questions. It’s quite apparent that merely mentioning AOC’s name gets under Pelosi’s skin.
The aged leaders of both parties are beyond their “best if used by” dates. Biden has said privately he would be a one term president, and I hope that’s what he does. This raises the prospect of the next four years being a de facto co-presidency. Harris 2024?
The question nobody asked has been answered. What if a Peanuts cartoon were done like Yellow Submarine?
The recording studios in the Capitol Records building that is. Steve Hoffman reports on Facebook that he has been told, “Capitol Tower Studios is closed and staff has been let go.”
Follow-up from Hoffman: “I was informed by someone who should know that only the mastering department was shut down and laid off. Studios are currently closed due to LA county covid guidelines. Studio engineering staff still around.”
This post brought to you via Q4OS, a lightweight Linux distribution, running on the first laptop I ever bought. This Compaq Presario 2200 came from CompUSA more than 15 years ago. The last time I used it was probably ten years ago.
I could have installed Linux alongside Windows XP SP3, but I wiped the drive for a clean start. I first tried Lubuntu, but performance was terrible. Lubuntu failed to find the WiFi hardware, but I’m on WiFi now with Q4OS. Typing reminds me how good the action on laptop keyboards used to be. A fun little project.
Correction: I should have said “the first Windows laptop I ever bought.” My first home PC was a Panasonic DOS dual-floppy laptop with monochrome screen and CGA composite video output that could display on a regular TV.
Follow-up: I installed VLC Media Player and a region-free DVD plays fine, but other DVD’s cannot be opened. It seems a command line utility is needed to set region 1 for the DVD player.
OOPSIE, PBS Newshour! It’s “Capitol,” not “capital.” Is there an intern you can blame?
Anita Page when she was young…
… and Anita Page when she was old.
And young again. As you can see, Anita’s success had more to do with her very considerable sex appeal than her acting ability.
