Too bad CNN won't return Kathy Griffin to the new years eve show.
She and Anderson Coop were a great pairing.
Then came the headless tRump picture that almost wrecked her career.
She has been making a pretty decent comeback lately.
Now more than ever we could use her ridicule of Mr White House ballroom.


 

You know what would actually bring in some ratings?


An actual headless tRump.

I want to see him a few years ago to buy a car at his dealership. We talked for about 60 minutes about my potential purchase and then he went off on a tangent talking about certain things that we're going on in the world at that time. (my perception of him is that he is a bit unique 🤔)He said he would send me the details for a couple of vehicles I was deciding between. I never got the email, sent him two more emails.... still nothing so I went to another dealership. Unique + terrible business follow up!! CFRB must be extremely hard up for on air talent

There may be a connection between this and having worked at every dealer in the GTA. 

That and me nicknaming him Greg Carrasshole.when I worked with him.


 

If whoever paid for this is a working actor, they won't be after this.

Nothing beats the love of a pet. Sorry for your loss.

And I guess that's my point RA. Everyone from presidents to prime ministers and (likely) popes has dropped an F-bomb from time-to-time. I didn't see the need to make a big deal out of it 30 or so years ago and I certainly don't care much about it now. My other memory of that incident came the next morning, when I was listening to CFRA Ottawa and the sanctimonious twit who read the morning news did a commentary in which he decried the media (which I guess he decided he wasn't a part of, at least for that one day) and talked about how we undoubtedly all celebrated the chance to use a dirty word or two in our stories. I resisted the temptation to drive to the studio and kick him in the shins to hear what kind of language he might use in those circumstances.
 

Pope Bob is a White Sox fan. He's probably dropped an F bomb in the last month.

When someone in the media celebrates their 100th birthday generally people think Wow! That's terrific. But I had no idea he/she was still alive. There are several former stars who have or will soon reach the century mark. Eva Marie Saint is there now but will hit 101 on July 4. Dick Van Dyke will [hopefully] reach 100 this December. June Lockhart will hit triple digits in June. David Attenborough recently turned 99 and Mel Brookes reaches 99 in June. Others who still have a few years to go but are getting close include Tippi Hedron [95] Clint Eastwood [94] Leslie Caron, Angie Dickinson, Barbara Eden [93] and Willie Nelson, Carol Burnett [92] No idea if I will get that close. Probably not. I consume too much of all the Canada Food Guide wrong things and not enough of the right things.

TBF - Willie has consumed many, many things so you probably have a chance.

Dial Twister is my poster of the day. Well, technically the 23rd and today.

Having worked in television, firstly with a cable provider and then various channels, I have a problem with signal theft. You’re stealing, plan and simple, and there is no grey area. With the state of broadcasting these days, they need all the revenue they can get, so stop stealing from them or there will nothing left to steal!

There are some U.S. channels that the CRTC will not authorize to be available in Canada. If they were available, I would gladly pay for them. Since they aren't, I will watch them illegally and not feel guilty at all.

This is where I am. I pay full pop for every channel that Bell offers and have for years. Also pay for Netflix, Prime & F1TV. Tell me where I can watch snooker on any of those. I'd pay for it but it isn't offered.

You're right??? Better to be fooled by the guy who has been in parliament for more than 20 years and accomplished nothing other than a pension.

Canadian voters have proven time and again that you really can't fix stupid.
 

Help us out then.
What has Poilievre accomplished in his career that in your eyes qualifies him to lead the country?
Other than not being Trudeau, oops Carney?
 

Given that I had to unfollow him a few months ago this is hardly a surprise I guess. I wonder if he'll unblock all the people he's blocked over the years. 
Anyways, best of luck to whoever defeats him.

I'm pretty sure the first one I bought was "Changes One - Bowie" - looking back I have no idea where I would have heard it as a 14 y/o. Somehow my parents let me go see him by myself at MLG in 1978 at 16.
