So FOX News acknowledging Trump made the White House look like a Chessecake factory? 🤨 cause Obama was mocking Trump not the restaurant and is th Cheesecake Factroty really where blue coller workers hangout? always thought it was where elites go to get a $7 slice of Cheesecake.
Obama saying the White House looks like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake factory and Trump demanding Obama produce his brith certificate are not on the same level of divisiveness, one is a joke the other is racism, that people think they are equal is why we we are where we are.
The only reason I know the Cheesecake factory exists is because Penny worked there on the Big Bang Theory, then they banned TBBT from usung their name so I was done witn them, what business turns down free advertising? and yeah amazing how Republicans always find a shiny object.
I lived in a self-contained neighborhood growing up where we knew or were at least familiar with all our neighbors, so I never felt the need to go outside the neighborhood on Halloween, but not every neighborhood was like that even back in the 'good ole days.'
Yeah some think Daylight Saving time extends the amount of daylight during the day when it does not, the Sun is out the same amount of time no matter when you set the clocks, so just get up an hour earlier if you want more daylight in the Winter, it is healthier anyway.
Permanent Standard time is the way to go - look at it from a Republican standpoint - wouldn't productivity go down with permanent Daylight Saving time - who wants to start working in the morning during the Winter when it is still dark outside?
I have no issue with changing the clocks twice a year and never understood what the big deal is, but living in the Northwest if I had to chose between them I'd pick permenent Standard time cause in the summer it's daylight until 10PM and I don't want it dark at 9AM in the winter.
President Trump is urging the Senate to vote immediately on making Daylight Saving Time permanent, saying Americans want more evening daylight and an end to changing their clocks twice a year. “TAKE A VOTE!” he demanded. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act 308–117 in July, but it remains stalled in the Senate.
Movie #161 - Lassie - Peter O'Toole who was in Lion in Winter - 'She's trying to get home like she did before' - Calling Part 2 of my Oracle of Cujo The Book of Lassie, starting with this 2005 remake of Lassie Come Home, no Elizabeth Taylor this time but Lassie is still the GOAT.
Movie #212 - Bolt - Malcolm McDowell who was in The Artist - 'I'm just a little bit concerned about the number of lunatics on this trip, my limit is one' - Good Dog: Bolt - Enjoyable cross between The Incredible Journey & The Truman Show about a Dog who thinks he is a Superhero.
Movie #213 - Pulp Fiction - John Travolta who was in Bolt - 'I'm trying real hard to be the Shepherd' - Would be in my top 5 best movies of all time, the non linear story telling is brilliant, the acting is impeccable from the top shelf cast and the characters are unforgetable.

George Takei is remembering his longtime “loyal friend” and “Star Trek” co-star Walter Koenig, who died Sunday in Los Angeles:
“My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades,” the post continued. “When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date. Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course.”

There's something 'Let That Be Your Last Battlefield' about William Shatner and George Takei being the last two surviving members of the Original Star Trek Crew, maybe it's the Universe's way of telling them to make peace.
The Nuclear Vessels scene in Star Trek IV is iconic and rightfully so, but the who's on first bit when Chekov is being interrogated on the Nuclear Vessel was just as funny.
'Let's take it from the top'
'The Top of what?'
'Name'
'My name?'
'No, my name'
'I don't know your name'

'Can you tell me where the Nuclear Wessels are?' - #RIP Walter Koenig 🙏 to include a Russian character on Star Trek at the height of the Cold War was brave by Gene Roddenberry but Pavel Chekov became the most beloved Star Trek character after Spock across the series & 7 movies.
Trump just made a 1,300 word truth social post trashing Bill Maher - 1,300 words 😅 so was another dinner really worth it, Bill? - the way people try to suck up to Trump only to get bashed by him for saying the slightest thing negavtive will be studied in schools in the future.
