In as many weeks, acclaimed actor Denzel Washington reputation is in the spotlight over another person's less-than-flattering encounter with the actor.

Katie says she isn't sure what happened. Let me help her out. She tried to steer a political agenda and got owned by someone who saw her exact motivation.

Luckily, Denzel is still alive. She tried to silence RBG and Ginsberg wasn't around anymore to correct her omission.

The surprise to me was that it was published.

And how much they make

Reads like propaganda.

Another one I'm surprised made it to print...

Katie Couric’s RBG Coverup Shows How We Ended Up With Trump

A former “Today” host ‘‘protecting” a Supreme Court justice at the suggestion of a New York Times columnist sounds like a conservative fever dream, but it’s exactly what happened.

I can't decide if it's city people or Yankees that are the problem with our country. I'm going to err on the side of caution and say it's both.

Police say bystanders "should've intervened" as woman raped on train

The District Attorney said later that it was unclear if a passenger who appeared to be recording understood what was going on.

1. That is terrible.
2. It would not surprise me if those who stood by and watched were his cronies
3. Who the heck thought "SEPTA" was a good name?

It couldn't get any dumber if they made it all up...

Top two articles alphabet pushed to my phone this morning..

One lamenting low fair attendance on Saturday:

2021 NC State Fair attendance remains low on Saturday

Saturday fair attendance numbers were 83,737.

www.cbs17.com

And then another championing the 'socially distanced fair alternative' at Dix Park on Saturday:

Fun had by all at Dix Park alternative to the State Fair

Those wary of big crowds chose to go to the Celebrate Raleigh Market and Festival at Dix Park.

The might have low attendance, but when we left there was the longest line I have ever seen trying to get in on the pnc side gate. We got there about 9 and waited in line maybe 5 mins. We left at 1 and the line was at least 5ppl wide stretching all the way back to inside the tunnel under Trinity Rd.

Dumbness definitely abounds. Straight out of the first article:
"The fair has averaged 135,460 people on Thursdays for the last 10 years"
"The fair has averaged 40,764 people on Thursdays for the last 10 years"

How hard is it to critically proof read an article? The entire article is only 8 sentences, and 2 of them directly conflict.

Sounds like they are unioning themselves out of a job.

Oscar said each terminal has two massive cranes to load cargo and he’s never seen both of them operating at once. A survey of two dozen cranes in Long Beach by the Washington Examiner found at least half of them nonoperational.

However, one terminal in Long Beach has started using automated cranes, and truckers rejoice when they are summoned to pick up cargo there. It is efficient and quick.

That is assuming that the port authority gives a shit what the truckers think.
They have a monopoly on service. They can be as slow as they want.

Tragic.
And frustrating, seeing as how a little bit of safety could possibly have saved some of them.

Side note - its now illegal to willfully release balloons in Maryland. Fine per balloon.
