RIP Phil Donahue.


From my future self in 9/18/24.


One month exactly!
Jeez, stop to read one little book, and everything goes to shit.

Yep, us pinko liberals lost one of our best guys.
We never ever got a talk show as good as his ever again. In my humble opinion.

There are some podcasts that come close; but Phil was the king.

Towards the end, his show got more Jerry Springer-ish to claw for ratings.
That was a bummer. Fuck the 90's for its addiction to trash.

Then, he came back for a brief stint on MSNBC.
MSNBC weren't themselves yet; they were trying a mix of liberal and conservative leaning into conservative, and Phil got fired for being anti-war during the ratcheting up to Iraq.
Dennis Miller they fucking kept though. Ugh.

Maybe if Phil had been allowed to stick around, I wouldn't have drunk the "War On Terror" mind-poison.

Infuriating that the current uber-liberal MSNBC never got him back.
I can understand him wanting to give them the finger forever. I get it.

Well, I'm finally caught up to Phil anyway.
Every year older I get, the more anti-gun and anti-war I get.
When every war you try to believe in turns into a quagmire of atrocities, you start to clue in.

Unless you have a lot of concussions, or have lead in your pipes.
I have a theory, more a hunch, that the only reason conservatism continues to hold any sway in our political discourse at all is lead poisoning.

Anyway!! Full salute to the last great talk show host.
Alan Alda is gonna bum me out just as bad.
Not looking forward to that.

D&W prequel marathon.


Acquiring and watching the Ghostrider duology got me in a mood to revisit more 2000's Marvel.

So, I re-watched all the movies for all the guest-appearance characters in "Deadpool & Wolverine".

Spoilers ahead.
