He’s looking more and more out of touch.
Someone collapsed during an event in the Oval Office and he just stood there, looking at the cameras.

Swine! Viper!
You challenge my autocorrect skills??
If I were fifty years younger I’d have the butler throw you out!
I won’t quote the whole passage, because it’s far too long.
In ‘Cryptonomicon’ the protagonist has a metaphor for how his lady love broke through all his barriers.
It involves him needing his wisdom teeth removed, but no dentist will take the job because the teeth are so badly situated. It takes him years to find a Brave Young Dentist who will accept the challenge.
BTW, avoid Stephenson’s latest book, ‘Polostan’ it’s unreadable
I liked The Lone Gunmen

Look up Fiorella LaGuardia, considered New York’s best mayor ever.
He ran on a Fusin Ticket of the socialists, the Republicans, and the Communists.
The show was created before the internet became popular.
They could fudge on details with impunity.
Complete and utter impunity!!
“By choice, not by chance.”
I’ve been waiting since 3rd Grade to use that one.
20·21 hours agoThe real bosses would never want to sit down with a guy like Don. He’s a loudmouth who would blab about his big connections to anyone who’d listen. Don’s not smart enough to realize that he’s been basing his act on a bunch of second level goons.
It’s worth watching, if only for the historical value
It was a simpler, more innocent time.
Trump is fixated on being a tough guy Mafioso. Ruining an established business to soak up quick profits is a classic mob move.
The billionaire giveth, and the billionaire taketh away.
Bloomie’s daughter was in charge of an update of the City’s payroll. It ended up costing the taxpayers about a billion and people were indicted.
5·1 day agoHaven’t seen the movie and didn’t know it was a book.
Thanks for the information.
Also, look up “Network” Not about tech, but when it came out it was a cutting edge satire
Look up a novel from the time, “The Ugly American”
The title character is an American engineer who goes to the mythical country and shows the locals how to build cheap water pumps that make farming hillsides much easier.
Every American who shows up to the place and does good is eventually replaced by a dolt who can’t speak the language.
Look up the PBS series “Vietnam - A Television history.”
It’s mostly the US point of view, but it covers the War pretty well.
Depends on the book. And what you had for lunch.
“…you can get away with it if you’re famous.”
So you were watching TV in 1997?
Burn the old person, burn him I say!!!
Cooperation between Japan and Poland dates back to the 1904-05 Russo-Japanese War. During this time, activists vying for Polish independence cooperated with Japanese intelligence, providing them with information about the movement of Russian troops. In fact, despite Poland not yet being recognized as an independent country, it was deemed a “Samurai Nation” by Japanese author Nitobe Inazō in his 1904 book, Bushido: The Soul of Japan.
After the First World War, Japan officially recognized Poland as an independent state. This marked the beginning of international relations between the two countries. After the conflict, Japan supported Poland’s efforts to join the League of Nations as an independent nation.
In 1923, the Polish military taught the Japanese Army cryptography, sending officers to Japan to teach encryption skills. The Japanese had been struggling to break Soviet radio signals for over a year at this point. With the help of the Poles, they were cracked in just a few weeks.
Yes, they do.
