Some people actually do effect change...

The day after Fonda's divorce from her second husband, politician Tom Hayden, was announced in 1988, her phone rang. It was Turner, whom Fonda had met only once. "Suddenly, a voice boomed through the phone so loudly that I had to hold the receiver away from my ear. 'Is it true?' 'Is what true?' I thought it was an odd way to start a phone conversation with a virtual stranger. 'Are you and Hayden really getting a divorce?' 'Yes.' I was still in the throes of depression and unable to speak above a whisper. 'Well then, would you like to go out with me?' I was dumbstruck."

Fonda brushed Turner off, telling him to call back in three months. Which he did. To the day. Turner gave a warm hug at the end of their first date and asked if he could call the next day. He followed through on that, inviting Fonda to his Montana ranch. During the trip to Montana, Fonda was struck by Turner's sincerity and dizzy from his "lack of censorship."

"'I think you’re perfect for me,'" Fonda wrote of Turner's abrupt conversation. "'We care about the same issues, we’re both overachievers, we’re both in the entertainment business, and you need someone who is as successful as you — and I’m more successful than you, which is good. Those last two movies you did were real dogs — let’s face it.'"

I give Ted credit for a lot of things, but may his fucking Hanoi Jane when she was in her prime (as a babe - nothing more) may have been his greatest achievement. Juss' sayin'...

CNN's credibility died long before Ted Turner did. In his later years, he often expressed tremendous disappointment in the new channel that he founded - and eventually sold. He felt, as much of the rest of us do, that the channel itself had veered entirely too far to one side of the political spectrum - the looney left - even though his own poilitics were not rock-solid conservative.

Ask an egghead a simple question and you'll more than likely get a convoluted answer - something like what I got when I asked Google's AI thing to search the web for info on this picture. This is what it came back with:
First and foremost, let's get one thing straight - yes, there is an actual connection between motorboating and the watercraft. As you may know, motorboats create a particular sound and motion when they're speeding through water. The term "motorboating," in its colloquial usage, is derived from the mimicking of this motion and sound in a rather intimate context - usually involving a pair of breasts and a willing participant's face.

My next door neighbor is selling his house and his realtor did one of the drone photo-shoot things so I copped this from his listing. I noticed I had a few shingles missing from that last storm we had last hurricane season, so I got a coupla Mexican roofer guys who were doing a new roof around the corner from me to come over the house when they were done with that job. They showed up the next day with a couple of left-over bundles from the one they just finished and fixed my roof - including replacing the entire ridge cap - for a hundred bucks and three Heinekens. Life is good in JoeyVille...

That's so fuckin' juvenile on her part - like some kinda 

bullshit little kid's hissy-fit. Pissing away that much tax-payer money on a sign tha does nothing more than make her look as stupid as she actually is.

She honest-to-god doesn't get it tha Federal ANYTHING supercedes local whatever, but fuck 'em - they elected her, just like the jerkoffs up in NYC and that Damn-mommmy fuckwad, so they all get what they deserve.

Ya go to a party and your friend rolls out something like this 

for snacks. Do you leave immediately and never speak to 

them again? I think that's about where I'd be at with that...
