Eve Marie Saint, RIP

Eva Marie Saint, one of the last representatives of the golden age of Hollywood, has died at age 102. She had a remarkable career. You rarely see the kind of class she exhibited anymore.

Update  Eve Marie Saint and Cary Grant on the train, from North by Northwest.

I'm not sure how to classify this

Celebrity excess? A fool and his money? Say "I want to get mugged in the parking lot" without actually saying "I want to get mugged in the parking lot"? Make of it what you will:

"Travis Kelce Turns Up the Vegas Heat in $94,350 Look Styled with Orange Glasses for Chiefs-Raiders Game".

Kelce, 37, stepped out in a gray Tom Ford ensemble, sporting a striped jacquard blazer ($5,270) with matching straight pants ($1,720) for a classic, yet fashion-forward statement out west. He paired it with black python Chelsea boots ($2,850).
He accessorized with a Bottega Veneta duffle bag ($6,500), a Cartier Santos de Cartier Skeleton Watch ($77,000) and Jacques Marie Mage Leonard Aviator Sunglasses ($1,010) before heading into the locker room to change into his team’s jersey and pads.

I was just thinking how many poor people you could feed with that much money.

Nah, just kiddin'. I was actually thinking of how much ammo I could buy if I had that kind of loot. I think I'd be set for the next two civil wars. 

When insanity is mainstreamed

"Yeah She Went There - White Paint is Racist".

The National Book Foundation has announced it’s doing its part to battle systemically racist paint by shortlisting “A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint” for its prestigious non-fiction award. The book by Columbia University Associate Professor Wendy S. Walters, “A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint” delves into the hidden racism of our walls which are white in most homes instead of black because paint was invented by dead white racist heteropatriarchal capitalist slave owners.

Accommodating wokeness is like trying to pet a mad dog.

In case you've been wondering whatever happened to this guy

"BREAKING: President Trump Approves Execution by US Army Firing Squad for Fort Hood Jihadist Nidal Hasan".
