CHRIS MATTHEWS HUMILIATES HIMSELF; AGAIN!

Herodotus

 

Chris Matthews just enrages me sometimes.

He is now spending every waking hour on cable TV telling us about what a great historian he is and how he finally 'nailed' the TRUE JFK!

HUMILIATION AS AN ART FORM

 

There are many types of humiliation.

Usually one sees the stronger humiliate the weaker.

And we have all certainly felt humiliation at one time or another.

Sometimes humiliation is accomplished when people are not even in the same room.

O'Reilly has just been humiliated over his book.

O'Reilly says he needed to write the book because nobody teaches decent history any longer.

So real historians take a look at the book and find error after error.

Robert Irvine; Restaurant Impossible!

Robert Irvine takes on 'lost causes'.

It is a set up to some extent, I am no fool. Well, I am a fool and have been a fool for at least a decade; but bear with me.

The theme of his show is that lost causes are not all lost causes.

99 PERCENTERS AND THE MAN AT THE END BOOTH

 

The Booth at the End is some series of shorts (22 minutes, like the best Comedy News Program I have ever seen).

I see no reason for the production.

And that must be why I am so in love with this presentation.

DOGS

I woke up some Saturday morning 35 years ago or so.

I was feeling pretty good.

Went out for my run and came back two hours later.
