While I am sorry for Charlie Kirk's family, I never heard him speak, and he remains a figure on the sidelines of the worst election in my lifetime. He's getting much praise on the news this morning for getting JD Vance the job and Tramp the win, and for this reason alone I will not mourn him. I will go so far as to say that it's my belief he was assassinated not by the despicable radical left but by the despicable administration who needed something Really Big to pull attention from the Epstein situation that could easily end the administration through Tramp's potential involvement with pedophilia and sex trafficking.

I will shortly turn off the TV; I have much to accomplish this morning, and I have no wish to be distracted or saddened by the memorial services. I have a meeting this afternoon with my student, and I need to prepare for that, ad I need to be in an upbeat mood.

In the six degrees of Epstein, I remain in awe that David Oscar Markus, the ever-on-TV high-powered high-priced Miami attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell, is also one of the main attorneys actively watching out for the interests of my brother Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth of Cranford NJ against me in matters of the estate of Nat and Rosalie Landau. I can't figure out where the money and pull is to have an attorney on that level involved.

But there Mr. Markus' name is, clear as day, in the 2020 lawyer bills about the estate issues and my parents' elder care!

Congrats to MR BK on his historic millstone.

The first soup I remember is Campbell's Chicken Noodle which I continue to eat today.

I like the Progresso Soups and the Campbell's Chunky Soups.

We watched the first two (of six) episodes of the Amazon Prime series THE GIRLFRIEND, and not only is it NOT a sentimental soap opera, by the end of the first episode it was a blood-filled Dial-J-for-Jump nail-biter - and I'm seeing in some places it's called a "psychological thriller" where I'd just seen it called a "Thriller" before.

SPOLIER

It turned out not to be human blood, but we didn't know that when the first bloodletting happened.

Freddie · « **Reply #38 on:** September 11, 2025, 05:32:13 AM »

I'm tempted to take an advance look at the synopses of later episodes to make sure my blood pressure can take it on my (still) low-dose lisinopril.

Freddie · « **Reply #39 on:** September 11, 2025, 05:33:31 AM »

Even by my family's standards, the family in THE GIRLFRIEND is quite dysfunctional.

Good morning, all.

How great to see Iris again.

The first soup I remember is Mom’s homemade cream of wheat ball soup, which is akin to matzo ball soup. I may have to make some this winter.

John G. · « **Reply #43 on:** September 11, 2025, 05:43:41 AM »

It’s still too hot for it.

Thursday. I have things to get done today.

Coffee!!

No sooner had I left HHW for Facebook, followed by Twitter, I found the conspiracy theorists who believe Trump's Pennsylvania "assassination attempt" that resulted in two tragic deaths and too many fools wearing diapers over their right ears was an election hoax are now blaming the administration for the Kirk assassination. Interestingly, Rightwig lunatic Loomer was recently condemning Kirk for being a Trump turncoat and scumbag.

Boy, did some ass named Larry Brill just rake me over the coals on Facebook for a comment I made. He b;amed me for being an excess of obvious, dumb, repetitive, valueless comments. I don't think I'll ask him to be my friend!

Does he still own that building in NYC?

I am baking a couple of pork steaks for dinner later.

My sister Myrna asked a couple of us to go with her today at a custody hearing.

Her son and his wife are having difficulty with his first wife - a drug addict who lives with a man who is forbidden to be in contact with any underage children. She claims he lives next door.

The children live with my nephew and his wife. Both of them have jobs and work very hard to provide for their three children (two his, one hers). Ex wife doesn't pay her court ordered child support....she usually makes one payment in the few days before a hearing.

She is very curvy and has a baby doll voice and the judge is quite smitten with her and showers her with praise....

My sister said she just wants a few folks sitting on her side of the courtroom to show the judge that CJ has support as well....

What a quandary! I'm sorry for his family, but not that he's dead. What an ugly man. No wonder the Trump asses liked him./

I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed DR IRIS' clips last night and the discussion of CHESS.

It's wonderful that you are going to show concern and support.

Speaking of songs from CHESS, this was from a poster on ATC named "Delvino" -

"It's an issue in the show's early 1980s DNA: both female characters are long-suffering "women behind the men," without any real agency in the story beyond standing by/not standing by the globe-trotting, difficult-but-successful men. It's not glib to report that they don't pass the Bechdel test, a set of traits that define women's behavior in dramatic storytelling: Florence and Svetlana only reveal their goals/regrets through contemplative or contentious numbers about their connection to Freddie and Anatoly. To my thinking, the only 2025 fix on this show would be to give Florence an elevation in the Chess world (see The Queen's Gambit, which blows holes through the Chess conceit that it's a male sport).

In 2025, I'd like to hear Florence sing about what Florence wants, what Florence gets besides one of these two guys. By the time we reach "I Know Him So Well," we're in deep codependency mode. It's act two of that other Michele revival, by the way: everything is about Fanny losing Nick. In a show about a sport and an intellectual arena, its not thrilling to see two women so subsumed solely by romantic relationships."

The notion of a character named "Freddie" being played by Aaron Tveit is a step or even several steps up from Freddy Krueger or Fred Mertz.

Freddie · « **Reply #58 on:** September 11, 2025, 07:38:41 AM »

And I say again to Fred Mertz, even though he's gone for many years: "Ethel Mertz was NOT fat!"
