Tom Stiglich is one of my favorite editorial cartoonists. He has a way of ver simply capturing the essence of a person or an issue that I appreciate and relate to. In this case, he certainly portrays the scope of Reiner's body of work, which was substantial by any measure, but there's a back story to that guy that some may not be aware of.
My friend Mark Simone demonstrated how it was possible for Trump to say what he did about the guy. Reiner WAS a TDS-afflicted hater, and he wasn't quite about it - in fact he made it a point every chance he got to bash Trump on every signal issue he could. He was relentless in his efforts on social media. This is a classic example of a guy who thought his shit didn;t stink and his opinion mattered. Truth was, it didn't - unless he was preaching to the choir of his Hollywood elitist buddies. Here's some examples of how far he went.If you can't read 'em, open thic pic in a new window or enlarge your screem size...

I wanna ask you guys a serious question about this blog
and it's content and style - and format - or lack thereof...
The readership of the blog has held steady at just under 10,000 +/- every day, and that's something I'm really proud of. But the number is static - it's held at about that number for around a year. Would it help gain me readers if I stuck to just talking about the news? Ya see, I really don't wanna do that.
My intent when I started this thing six years ago (January 24, 2019, to be exact) was just to have a place to share ideas and items that I found interesting, and I didn't wanna do it on social media, because that has been nothing but clutter and bullshit for at least ten years now. So, my question is - are you guys okay with my no-format format? I am, but that's juss' me sayin'...

Seems like it was just last week, but it was forty years ago last night, just before 5:30 p.m., that a limousine carrying Gambino family boss Paul Castellano pulled up to a red light on a side street near Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. What he didn't know was that sitting right beside him in the next car over and hidden behind tinted windows was Gambino captain John Gotti — the man who was about to have Castellano murdered right then and there. Castellano was on his way to an early dinner meeting at Sparks Steak House on the next block. As soon as Gotti spotted Castellano at the traffic light, he radioed in the assassination order: "Stopped at the light… the first car… coming through."
The moment Castellano opened his door and his feet hit the sidewalk in front of the restaurant, three gunmen disguised in long white trench coats and black Russian fur hats pulled out semi-automatic pistols and shot him dead in a hail of gunfire before calmly disappearing into the rush-hour crowd. After the hit was done, Gotti pulled out from his parking spot and drove slowly past the bodies of Castellano and his driver (pictured above) to make sure they were dead before heading back toward Brooklyn to assume control of the Gambino family.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara depicted Mary and Joseph as “outsiders,” comparable to illegal aliens, as he criticized the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
During a speech alongside Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) and religious leaders, O’Hara spoke about how it was a “very, very difficult time” for the communities in the city, as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been enforcing the nation’s immigration laws.

This is Don Featherstone. An artist and designer, he is also the creator of the original Plastic Lawn Flamingo (while he was working for the Union Products Company in Massachusetts). He's pictured on his own front lawn in 1957. The State of Florida should name a highway after this guy...

Pornhub has since reached out to more than 200 million premium users, warning their data may have been stolen during the breach. How profitable is that fuckin' business? Hackers are said to be extorting the pornography platform after search and watch history was reportedly stolen.
According to MailOnline, the adult site confirmed “unauthorised access” had been gained through a third party data company. It said: “We recently learned that an unauthorised party gained unauthorised access to analytics data stored with Mixpanel, a third-party data analytics service provider.
Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen the attraction of this shit. I mean, I can go back to the one time I went to see a porn movie at a Times Square movie house in the late 70's. The place was disgusting, the people were creepy, and the movie was stupid, but that's just my opinion.
I read the other day that something like 40% of ALL internet traffic is about porn in one way or another. That number boggles the mind...

Don't change a thing, we're happy cause you're happy. Perhaps remove some old links from the top list, no new posts in months or years towards the bottom makes for a longer scrolling. Great links though, the links are important.
ResponderEliminarDitto! Perfect the way you have it....
EliminarStay with what works. The reason I visit is because your blog is predictably unpredictable. And you don't take yourself or the blog too seriously. It's a great mix of your recollections, current day idiocy and the occasional babe. It's a winning formula. Also, my wife occasionally reads your blog. She thinks your wife must be approaching sainthood.
ResponderEliminarI like it as is, a little bit of everything along with the blog list
ResponderEliminarthanks, i visit ever day sometimes 2-3 times
If you are making bank (money) with this blog then you probably need to refresh....if you aren't, then leave it alone; I like the format.
ResponderEliminarI agree - don't change a thing! I love your site and share a lot with friends.
ResponderEliminarI like it just the way it is. I do however, find it difficult to post on this site.
ResponderEliminarI would say keep the site the way it is,why fool with a working recipe?
ResponderEliminarGod bless plastic flamingo dude!
I really like the no format, format. Just don't lose the busty broads, or the trim ones in their drawers.
ResponderEliminarFrankly, I'd say the less news the better -- political news, anyway. Your blog is quirky and reflects your personality . . . which is what appeals to me and your 10K readers. Why try to pander to a larger audience by imitating thousands of other blogs?
ResponderEliminarNah, any humor helps in these times. Keep the real news too. But, never forget that you are a stranger in a strange land and we Florida natives will always view you as an Yankee carpetbagger. (Ha! But, no, really).
ResponderEliminarWhu? You mean I've been visiting Every Single Day for Yeeerz and never noticed that This place, being without Phormal Phormat is actually chaos? You Phicks something and I'll get confused.
ResponderEliminarIt's fine as is. Do wanna hear the Washington Square story tho...Enquiring minds wanna know....
ResponderEliminarNot homeless anymore. Nick has found his forever home.
ResponderEliminarMORE BOOBIES!
ResponderEliminarI like the site this way. Until about 10 days ago I would go to iotwreport for news and to comment. But they changed to a more commercial style and I won't be going back. Shame. More planes, trains and automobiles, and women's, you know guy stuff. Oh and history, that is being lost.
ResponderEliminarJust imagine what Reiner could've accomplished if he wasn't a douchebag. He met with clapper and Brennan to take down Trump.
ResponderEliminarNobody cares about your format.
ResponderEliminarBut your asinine and backwards attitude toward the breast-feeding woman at the restaurant is disgusting prudish. We can't be friends.
It's probably okay with you that muslims take a crap next to the sidewalk cafe.
EliminarYa got a good thing going, that's why I stop by. Keep on keepin on.
ResponderEliminarYou do real news here? I didn't notice. Kidding, it's not enough to annoy even when I disagree. Don't change.
ResponderEliminarI like the content a lot. I would suggest that you break up the long posts into several shorter posts, to make commenting about the subject of the post easier.
ResponderEliminarRegarding the lady breastfeeding in public: I never was offended by the sight of a boobie or two. I might find it hard not to stare though (and try not to drool on my chin).
That "home on leave" photo looks just like mine from December '75. It reminded me of all the issued stuff you had to fit in a duffle bag: overcoat, raincoat, cotton khakis, cotton fatigues, summer weight greens, winter weight greens, long johns, boots, low quarters etc. etc.
I like the blog as is, but if you do change it or parts I'll still check in daily.
ResponderEliminarIn general he was a pretty typical Jewish Hollywood leftist, one of the limousine liberals that scolded working class people while living in unimaginable luxury. In almost every aspect of his life he was working at odds with what I believe and so I am not sorry he is dead. At all. He will be lionized by the same people that danced and cheered when Charlie Kirk was assassinated but who will expect fawning tributes from the people Meathead hated as much as they do. Fuck that noise. For those on the Meathead side of the political equation, it doesn’t matter what you do if you believe “the wrong way”. You could be on the verge of curing childhood cancer and if it was revealed that you once said the word nigger in middle school while singing along to a rap song, they would gleefully see your life destroyed. It doesn’t matter what you do or how good a person you are, if you don’t agree with them you are a literal Nazi and deserve anything that happens to you, no matter how horrible.
ResponderEliminarBut muh moral high ground! We don’t want to be like our enemies do we?
Standing on the mythical moral high ground just makes you an easier target.
It drives me crazy that “conservatives” still do not understand that we are in an existential crisis, a war for our very existence. If we lose, it doesn’t mean a 5% increase in corporate taxes or more socialized medicine.
It means you die.
Everyone you love dies.
Everything you love and cherish dies with you.
They just don’t get this. Nope we get “Sure he was an awful person but he helped produce some OK movies so I am super sad that a person that hated me is dead”. The cult of entertainment and celebrity and sports still trumps the stark realization of the political and cultural reality we are in the middle of.
It is impossible to win a war when the people you are fighting for don’t even realize they are in a war in the first place.
The true danger of Rob Reiner and his ilk is their vast amounts of money funneled into the leftist individuals and organizations which are a direct threat to the rest of us who are trying to save our communities. Here in North Idaho, there is a constant movement to corrupt children via gay pornography in public libraries, “Gay Pride” convocations in public parks, and even the “Drag Queen Story Hour” promoters. These demonic individuals and groups do not exist in a vacuum. They are FUNDED (!) by rich Hollywood leftists such as the late Mr. Reiner. Add to that, the leftist Hollywood reprobate and oxygen thief Dick Van Dyke, who just publicly celebrated his 100th birthday. For those of you old enough, during the VN war, he and another Hollywood useful idiot of the American Communist Party, Donna Reed, made public appearances across America touting a “Secretary of Peace” and other anti-military statements which just fed the Communist propaganda machine along with that other traitor, Jane Fonda. Rush Limbaugh once opined the reason these pea-brained actors and actresses do this is because they spend their lives in celluloid make-believe and must find some way to define themselves in the real world. They all need to donate a portion of their obscene salaries to veteran charities and STFU.
Here! Here! Well said. Like Elon said "We either fight or die" and don't apologize for being white.
Eliminar"So, my question is - are you guys okay with my no-format format?" ABSOLUTELY!
ResponderEliminarBe a little careful with the political shit, I'm MAGA I really don't give a F*ck what anyone thinks or says, but a lot of people do.
ResponderEliminarI don't think you are asinine, backward or disgusting. Some women just want all the attention they can get. Personally if I was in the restaurant, I would have walked over and shouted I'll have what the Baby is having.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I like the site just as it is. I think if it's high numbers you're looking for, you might have the wrong business model. I'm here to enjoy the site; probably most are.
ResponderEliminarI like what you post and will keep coming as long as you have it
ResponderEliminarMark in PA
There are too many "News Only" blogs and websites to count.
ResponderEliminarThere is only one "Lady Lake" blog.
I watch "Lady Lake" every day but hardly ever hit a news only site.
Don't follow Jaguar, Gillete, New Coke, Cracker Barrel and Bud Light into the toilet.
Remember the old adage "Run What You Brung"
Yes, whatever is easiest for you. My only quibble is the need to hunt and peck to find the comment link
