Ole Miss not hitting an 8-hour bus ride will sadly go down as the softest move in the 2026 college football season A lot of “anywhere, anytime” speeches happening right now… Not at Ole Miss They’re not football guys Sad

Even with a trip halfway across the country to Arkansas, I’d be embarrassed if the Gamecocks didn’t find a way to logistically honor their commitment. Weird how Ole Miss can just not show up today without threat of forfeiture, but if Oklahoma doesn’t change the plans of thousands of employees, fans, first responders, etc…they have to forfeit. All that would need to happen was the team to get on some busses yesterday. Insane.

It was such a thrill and I am deeply honored by the Beverly Hills City Council for marking Nov 10th 2026 "Barbara Eden Day." I've been a Beverly Hills resident for many years, proudly calling 90210 my home. Here's to many more! My love, gratitude and best to Mayor Corman and the City Council for this honor. It means so very much to me. -Barbara Eden

RIP Anthony Clark. Funny, funny guy. Originally from Lynchburg, VA, but forever linked to Boston’s golden age of stand-up comedy. He started out at legendary clubs like Stiches and Comedy Connection while attending Emerson College. He starred on Boston Common and Soul Man. One of the many great comics to emerge from a special time in Boston comedy.

Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy. When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows. The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed. He was so unique—one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations. I was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again. Attached are some snapshots from our last episode of “Yes Dear” which ended twenty years ago after 122 episodes. Rest in peace. Tony.

It is deeply troubling in a free market economy that so many people keep talking about nationalizing profits of private companies to fund social programs. Setting that aside, from an accounting standpoint $FNMA and $FMCC have zero earnings. They generate net income and that increments their capital levels but it is accompanied by a commensurate increase in the treasury's liquidation preference. There is an easy way for F2 profitability to support many homebuyers. Deem the SPS repaid, lower capital requirements to HERA levels, list on a major exchange and the government can close their 79.9% stake for ~$400B. Nearly half a TRILLION dollars can go a lot further than harvesting the cash flows of a private company quarter after quarter. #StopTheSteal America is not a socialist country!
WANT FANNIE & FREDDIE TO CUT PROFITS 75%? START WITH YOUR OWN BUSINESS‼️ I’ve already pushed back on @1gregsher over this nonsense. Now I discover his fellow (niche) podcast bro, STRATMOR’s Coby Hakalir (@360coby), suggesting Fannie & Freddie should make $1B a quarter instead of $4B. Small world! Why stop there? Why not ZERO? Or lose money? Perhaps Coby should start by advising his mortgage lender clients to cut their origination & other fees by 75% & waive 75% of his own consulting fees! And maybe NFM Lending, where Greg is Managing Director, can lead by example & slash its own fees & profits by 75% too! NFM’s own explanation of lender fees: nfmlending.com/closing-costs… I will again remind these aspiring podcasters that Fannie & Freddie are ALREADY shareholder-owned companies‼️ I’ve spent 30+ years in real estate. America has the greatest mortgage finance system in the world & it depends on strong, PROFITABLE institutions that attract private capital. Cutting their earnings by 75% means $12 BILLION LESS annually to build capital. Who’s going to invest in that deal? SOCIALIZING shareholder-owned businesses is a recipe for disaster. Buyers, Realtors, lenders & developers would ALL pay the price! PS - Now that I’m learning how much lenders charge buyers in fees, I’m considering acquiring & scaling a regional mortgage company.

Stacey was a professional member of the company at Yale when I was there in drama school. We were in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. I was a soldier I made a mistake. I hit him on the head with my sword. I ran off stage. I hid behind scenery. He came running off stage in a rage. Thank goodness he didn’t find me. May you rest in peace Stacey you were amazing.
Stacy Keach was the guy in NY, late '60s. MACBIRD was downright seismic off-B'way, then he moved uptown for INDIANS. A very interesting guy and a great talent. RIP

Some news everyone in SEC Country can celebrate. ❤️ Former South Carolina QB Stephen Garcia says he is cancer free following surgery after battling stage 4 colorectal cancer. Garcia said he broke down in tears when he heard the results and thanked everyone who supported him and his family. God bless Stephen and his family as he continues his recovery. 🙏

If in doubt, please consult this handy flow chart.
IMO you don't need to be an alum of a school to root for them. The problem isn't *bandwagoning* so much as *frontrunning.* Either root for your local college or pick an underdog. Imagine someone from Maine, new to watching baseball, adopting the Dodgers. Can't respect it.

This is great. Check out this string
The one professional golf tour with a backbone on pace of play is getting tougher. LPGA officials announced tonight at a player meeting tougher updates to the tours pace of play policy that was rolled out in 2025. Data from 2026 showed a 12% increase in warnings and holes timed

A straight takeaway from the golf ball builds width, a shoulder turn and a weight transfer creates power and as you begin your downswing, feel as though you are hitting past the golf ball, allowing the club to continue accelerating through impact - end with chest facing target.

You could have purchased a GE refrigerator made in Decatur, Alabama or a Whirlpool made in Amana, Iowa with the same specs for half the price and supported American workers. I’m glad you had to pay a $350 premium. Should be way higher.
I just bought a $1999 refrigerator. It would have been about $1649 if not for the federal tariffs tax which I (not “South Korea”) paid. I also paid $155 in sales tax. Total cost $2154. Of which 25% is tariff tax and sales tax. To pay for it, I had to earn $3,420 in gross salary, of which $1266 went to fed and state taxes. So for $3,420 in labor I got a refrigerator worth $1,649 (48%). 52% went to the government in taxes.
