Pardon my ... ... ... pause

Please, please, please, masterminds of the Ted Cruz campaign: Hire Bill Shatner to teach your guy about using pauses in a speech.

Or, make him listen to a bunch of Obama speeches. He gets it right.

And, Senator, keep Carly away from your children. Also, why are they on a bus instead of in school?

Creativity on the wing

There's a contest on to name the two baby bald eagles in a nest at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. The parents are uncreatively named Mr. President and The First Lady. Ho hum.

Choices for the babies: Stars and Stripes; Freedom and Liberty; Anacostia and Potomac; Honor and Glory; Cherry and Blossom.

Vote at dceaglecam.org.

These names are pathetic. Eagle McEagleface and Birdie McBirdieface would be better.

Farewell, noble heart

As the Bard lay, dying, in his wealthy man's bed in Stratford-Upon-Avon, which death among the many in his plays did he decide should have been re-written?

400 spins since around Sol ... 

Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winters rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done ...

Exit, pursued by a bear ...

Phone home, Tamara

According to Charter/Spectrum, Henry Thomas stars with Tamara De Treaux in "E.T. The Extraterrestrial," which is running on a Showtime sub-channel.

Whoever does Charter's on-screen guide has deep sources. Tamara De Treaux, 1959-1990, was 2 feet 7 inches tall, and spent time inside the animatronic E.T.

She's not in IMDB's entry on the movie, and the movie's not listed among the actress's few credits in IMDB's short entry. Sorry, brief entry.

Wikipedia's more-detailed article, with photos, says she was the world's shortest actress. Her original name: Tamara Detro.

Wiki wins this month's obscure-actress award. Congrats.

How did these people get so twisted?

Newest anti-freedom fad is legislating who can use which public toilet.

People are starving in the USA, homeless, mentally ill and North Carolina's worried about bathroom privileges?

I wanna meet the SOB who thinks he's gonna check. Pervert.
