Egawds, I knew they did awful polling rankings with historians but someone breaking them down into literal West Wing tabletop characters is another fresh level of hell. It has the stench of Sorkin about it.

The numbers mean "pee-pee doo-doo, Trump was the worst president."

The thing about it that triggers me the most is Int stands for "Integrity". Integrity. From the bootlicker in chief.

This - and his disassociation from Trump will get him points at his funeral. But I am largely w/ MM. A lot of people view him through rose tinted glasses. I still remember what a turd he was though.
I never hated Bush Jr. personally. I did think he was a doofus (and probably still is). It was always the overall Republican policies that were odious. Individually, maybe half of the Republicans back then weren't awful people (compared to less than a 10th now), but collectively that really harmed the direction of this country. It wasn't until Obama was elected that the balance tipped and you'd have to be downright immoral to be a Republican today. Then it was knives out by the Neo-KKK.

Because it lacked vetting, Wikipedia has long been and forever will remain shitty nerd garbage.

Lmao, that article. Someone's cursory IMDB copy/paste didn't go so hot. Weird to list at the top for being in Straw Dogs, in an uncredited role, yet had bigger, credited roles in both Peckinpah films Cross of Iron and The Ballad of Cable Hogue. At least they kinda tried. Really loved this at the bottom:

• This article was amended on 25 July 2022. Warner’s acting credits included The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse, not The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, as an earlier version said. :lol:

Pat Carroll, voice of Ursula from the Little Mermaid, age 95. That is 3 in 1 day, the old they go in 3's saying held true. She was also on the Mary Tyler Moore show way back in the day.

Vin Scully passed away at the age of 94.

He was the radio announcer for Dodger games for 67 years, going back to when they were in Brooklyn.

Unquestionably the best to ever do it.

And now Olivia Newton-John has passed away, at 73 years of age.

EDIT: And Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who was the voice actor for Jigen Daisuke in Lupin III from 1969 to 2021, has passed away from pneumonia at 89 years of age.

I have to say, she was my first crush, seeing Grease, she was drop dead gorgeous, got even hotter at the end of the movie once her hair got curled, and wearing that tight leather. She fought cancer for years poor lady. :cry:

One death that slipped through the cracks, Roger E Mosely, from Magnum PI, the character TC. Died from a car crash at 83 years old. Hard to believe he was that age, but then the original Magnum PI aired about 40 years ago.

From some recent Dragon Quest 10 googling, I discovered for the price of $175, you could get Gilbert to read a few sentences of dialogue in his shower on Cameo.

This man was quite a trooper; reportedly he's done over 12,000 of these things and if they're up to this quality, he put some honest effort into them. Two takes on every one? o7

His character really did have the voice of an angel..

That's really sweet. I loved Gilbert, he was so pure. I remember flipping through the channels and catching Cyber Chase way back when. Also scary because my dad has the same heart condition that he died from, but at least it's been treated successfully so far. They can do a thing now where they run an electrode through your veins into your heart and can burn off the necrotic tissue that causes the tachycardia, and if they catch it early and often, it can be a non issue.

Aww... The Neverending Story was the central film of my childhood.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"
