Greetings.
Perhaps you are aware of this tidbit already. If so,
please bear with me. About ten years or so ago I was
flipping through the channels and caught the tail end
of “JEOPARDY!” on TV. It was one of their special
shows and the theme of the week’s shows was
“Washington D.C. Insiders” or something like that. The
episode I caught part of featured Oliver North, Pat
Schroeder, and someone else who I can’t remember. The
good part is that Ollie North was beating Patsy
Schroeder’s brains out! I mean it wasn’t even a
contest. He had like eight times the prize money that
she had won. Total humiliation. It was at that moment
that I was witness to, not only her obvious ignorance
but to her vacuous smarminess to others. It’s one
thing to be arrogant and condescending but when you’re
as dumb as she obviously is, well it’s just doubly
unwarranted.
And she has some nerve to call conservatives (or
anyone, for that matter) lax in their reading
diligence. It seemed that she had read precious few
books in her life – or if she had she remembered
nothing.

* What, no Weird Al/Greg Kihn Band fans out there?

(My kind of) Update: From a reader:

In Ye Corner ye writted:
“What, no Weird Al/Greg Kihn Band fans out there?”
Me sir! Not only did I see “Our Love’s In Jeopardy” in a mobile
home in West Texas, later on I saw “I Lost On Jeopardy” in a
different one, and may have at least one on VHS around somewhere.
Best part of Kihn’s video may be the “bride” shaking up the obviously
flat bottle of champagne at the very end in order to get some foam.
Now I’m missing “Night Tracks” on WTBS…
