A BLAST FROM THE PAST:
HOW THE WORLD CHANGED 80 YEARS AGO IN JUST A FEW SECONDS
Eighty years ago — on June 14th, 1945 — Mr. Fred Trump of Queens, NY flexed his flabby sag loins, sucked in a deep breath, and then blasted his dribble into the motionless flesh of Mrs. Mary Anne Trump, half-asleep and bored out of her skull.

Disgraceful and embarrassing.
What next? Pawn Stars tents? Cockfights? Midget tossing? Girls in bikinis wrestling in jello?
Maybe they’ll turn the South Lawn into a giant parking lot for gas-guzzling monster trucks and tote-the-note rust buckets. Warm watered-down beer on tap. Premium seating on stuffed brown suede sofas splitting apart. A metal spike hammered into the former rose garden to tether chained pit bulls.
When it comes to the orange ass-slob, nothing surprises nor shocks me anymore.
Fucking lowlife trailer trash. Yet another desecration of the office and shame of our nation.

“LADIES FIRST” ON NETFLIX (MY REVIEW)
Way back in junior high school, in 1975, I appeared in my very first stage play. Our drama teacher was Mr. Brewer–I still remember his name. He made a bold decision for us to perform If Boys Wore the Skirts: A Farce in One Act — by Anne Coulter Martens. It was a polemical play about self-identity and gender reversal. All males in the cast wore skirts and were in subservient roles. All females in the cast wore long pants and were in dominant roles. I played the school’s star football player. And yes–I wore a skirt onstage along with a football jersey. When we performed the play live in front of the entire school including students and teachers, there were hecklers and much laughter. But it was all great fun. The challenge of that unusual experience really made me enjoy theatre and musicals, which I did from then on until graduating from high school.

MY 25 PICKS FOR FAVORITE / BEST AND WORST WORLD WAR II MOVIES (RANKED)
This Memorial Day weekend, I’ve ranked my most (and least) favorite World War II movies.
Based on IMDB listings, there are roughly 6,000 films related to WW2, which stands above all other subjects as the most recycled historical event in movies.
Note that these are my “favorite” movies, which isn’t quite the same thing as the “greatest” movies — though there’s some obvious crossover. I based my #number# rankings on how many occasions I’ve seen the movie (in some cases, numerous times) and the chances I would want to watch it again. In some cases, a movie can be great but I also don’t want to see it a third or fourth time. Once is plenty enough. So, it’s all subjective, and admittedly inconsistent. Nonetheless, let’s take this occasion to remember the best and worst WW2 films.
