This might be the funniest post I've ever seen on this site. "New Babies Still in Bag" might beat it out, still.

The randomness. The all-caps. That's gold.*

*assumes Derek Jeter does not, in fact, die very soon.

Sad deal, man. My wife and I saw Charlie play at The Kessler last Thanksgiving. He sounded great but sat the entire show. I'd never seen him before so I'm not sure if that was SOP for him. He had older kids but also introduced a little 2- or 3-year-old kid he's got with his new wife.

Bye bye Ducky…David McCallum. Had a storied career but I guess will mostly be known for being Ducky bc of 20 years on NCIS. That was a great run.

I watched an earlier version on TCM this morning. Not nearly as good, but not bad.

Grew up watching that on VHS, that I’m pretty sure we recorded off of cable at my grandmothers house.

My family is rewatching the movies for a 3rd time I think.  My kids are 7. I've tried telling them that one reason theses movies are so good is that it is littered with absolutely remarkable actors.  

I think Harris was a better Dumbledore but Gambon was an outstanding replacement.

NJ and CA…two Govs replacing Senators in the same year. Wow.

[YGIFS 19,452]

Shit, I didn't even think of Newsom will appoint in her place.  She had 13 more months until election day, 15 more months left in her term.  I doubt they go through with a special election.  Somebody will just finish out her term with little objection, I suspect.

We've had multiple members of Congress replaced in the same year dozens of times in U.S. History.  Whether resignation, removal, early retirement, incapacitation, or death.  Plus, no real guarantee Menendez actually leaves office this calendar year.  Though it looks like his goose is cooked sometime during this 118th Congress, which remember still has 15 more months left in it.  

As a political expert though, I can say with 80% certainty that unlike Menendez, it does seem that Feinstein will not concluding her term unless they pull some kinda Weekend at Bernie's shit.  Which is pretty much what they've been rehearsing for the last year or so anyway.  

[Bateshorn 9,928]

Newsom will appoint the replacement to serve out the term.  The only question is if he picks among the already announced candidates or a placeholder.

He’ll need to move fast though, otherwise Machin is going to insert himself into shutdown negotiations as the swing vote.

Man I’m striking out in 2023. I need bam to do something but unfortunately everyone has him too

Sadly, I think they have been doing this with Feinstein for the last year or so.

Yall need to tap the breaks on replacing her. This reeks of ageism!  She, and all the other elder statesmen and stateswomen, should be allowed to finish their terms with grace.

I don't get these old-ass politicians. Why don't they just go home and spend their remaining years with their grandkids and great-grandkids? Do they hate their families too much or do their families hate them? It can't be the money, none of those pricks are poor. Is the allure of power too much to overcome? If I have to listen to my 76 year old dad tell the same damn story for the 100th time, their families should have to do the same.

Strom Thurmond laughs at Feinstein only making it to 90 as a sitting Sen.  He fucking took on his EIGHTH 6 year run at the age of 94... and somehow finished it out. finally croaking 6 months later.

Robert Byrd kinda does as well  making it past 92 and being a senator for 51 fucking years.

and Daniel Inouye also says holla, living to 88 and serving 49 years in the senate.

 

its clearly a fucking power kick thing.

Some Dems I know would love to see Newsom put Kamala in the Feinstein chair, thereby ridding Biden of that albatross around his neck so he can find someone less unfavorable.

A politician died, we don’t really need to discuss the ramifications in this thread do we?
