    Ahh to be so young that “Fixer Upper” is what you think made Waco famous

    It's kind of crazy that the year is 2024 and Paramount Global's two most valuable franchises -- Star Trek and Mission: Impossible -- were both originally greenlighted by Lucille Ball 60 years ago.

    There are conspiracists dedicated to parsing Chrissy Teigen's tweets and John Podesta's emails for evidence of a secret child sex ring. Meanwhile, it's a matter of public record that the Speaker of the House, 1998-2007, is a convicted child molester...and no one talks about it.

    1991. Liz Taylor marries Larry Fortensky at Neverland Ranch. Jacko and hairstylist to the stars José Eber serve as best men. The officiant: Marianne Williamson. She's been with us a lot longer than you think.

    Ron DeSantis’ stunt of flying 50 undocumented migrants to Martha’s Vineyard may play well on Fox News, but the fact that it was 50 undocumented Venezuelans who had escaped the Maduro regime may not play as well in Miami-Dade County

    A conversation with my Irish Catholic grandmother when I was 16, upon her learning I had an Irish girlfriend Her: Is she Catholic or Protestant? Me: She’s an atheist, like me Her: But is she a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?
    Breaking News: For the first time, Catholics outnumber Protestants in Northern Ireland, census figures show. The results may fuel calls for a referendum on uniting Ireland, experts say, but not right away. nyti.ms/3Somyt0

    Congrats to Judge Curiel on transitioning from being “a Mexican” to “a U.S. judge” in under two years. This truly is the land of opportunity.
    Big legal win today. U.S. judge sided with the Trump Administration and rejected the attempt to stop the government from building a great Border Wall on the Southern Border. Now this important project can go forward!

    Mayor Pete likes to note that he’s the only candidate on stage who isn’t a millionaire. But he’s a Harvard grad Rhodes Scholar who came out of Oxford with a gig at McKinsey. Like, why *isn’t* he a millionaire?
