So let me get this straight, Iran response to our killing their top General was telegraphed so as not to cause deaths to American soldiers and civilians despite our President’s bellicose fire and brimstone rhetoric, we should therefore praise the President?

Ah, Valerie Bertinelli. I loved her in the short-lived sitcom Sydney, which used a Van Halen song (which, I don't recall) as its theme music.

Betty White is left alone on stage when they all storm out, and she says, "This sort of thing never happened on Password!" The audience, who clearly remembered when she used to appear with husband Allen Ludden on that show, roared. (As did I.)

... deaths under Mao are, largely, due to natural reasons such as famines ...
Oy vey. Where to even begin? The indoctrination is strong with this one. The ideas that famines can have a human cause (like Mao's disastrous collectivization and cadre leadership during the Great Stumble Backward) or even a *deliberate* human cause (like Stalin's terror famine in Ukraine) seem to be fully lost on this loser. Or the fact that no capitalist country has ever experienced a famine. Or the fact that agriculture production crashes with perfect correlation following collectivization measures. Never mind all the other BS. What a maroon.
It is also very amusing to me that people like this chalk up incompetence-cum-famine as a "natural disaster" yet firmly believe in anthropogenic climate change. The cognitive dissonance burns.

Warai-otoko got it at comment 92: Schneider. Pat Harrington, a graduate of the old Steve Allen show, played the apartment building super to perfection.
My mother didn't care for most sitcoms, but she liked that one, including its theme song.
And John Hillerman, you're right, played Bonnie Franklin's boss. He continually referred to her (these were the early days of Women's Lib, remember) as "Em Ess Romano," instead of "Miz."

Valerie first came to prominence, a lot of you will remember, in a sitcom called One Day at a Time. It wasn't about AA and recovering from alcoholism, though. It starred Bonnie Franklin as Valerie's mother, and Mackenzie Phillips, a stepchild of Michelle Phillips, as Val's sister. It was pretty funny and clever for those days (1974-ish.)

You know what was actually surprisingly funny was Anger Management with Charlie Sheen. My husband and I didn't want to find it funny, not being Charlie Sheen fans, but it kept being on while we were doing other stuff, and we kept finding ourselves laughing at it. The prisoners were the best part - part of the premise is that Charlie is an anger management therapist, and he has group therapy in a prison. Being a pretty terrible therapist, he keeps ending up telling the prisoners about his personal life, and he often takes their advice. One of the prisoners is named Wayne, and he's a serial killer. One scene that I still laugh at:
Jordan (another therapist who works with Charlie at the prison): Charlie's late for work today. Apparently there was a bus accident.
Wayne: Well, that's just inconsiderate. When I kill somebody, no one's late for work.
Jordan: (smiling nervously) Well...except the one guy.
Wayne: (considers that) I stand corrected.

AOC riles Dems by refusing to pay party dues, bankrolling colleagues' opponents
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won't donate a cent of her millions to Democrats' House campaign organization -- a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned.
Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she's actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues.
yikes

Last quarter @aoc raised more than any Dem in the House. No call time, no wine caves. Average donation of $15.
She and @BernieSanders are proving that grassroots donors can beat corporate money, lobbyists and special interests. Help make waves

I guess the city would care. Because it's okay to fund a money-losing facility as long as you are getting the money from people who can't say no (taxpayers).

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party arm with the sole
job of electing Democrats to the House. Records obtained by Fox News
show the New York Democrat has failed to pay any of her $250,000 in
"dues" to the DCCC.
As BEN ROETHLISBERGER might say: It's funny because the Justice Democrats founder (Saikat Chakrabarty) and its spokesman (Waleed Shahid) openly declared war on the Democrat party right after AOC and her squad were sworn in. Did the DNC/DCCC/Pelosi think they were kidding?

AOC will take the money, and after redistricting, give the money to
worthy causes, like the shoe store, the new garbage disposal she has
finally figured out, and most of all, the shoe store. She will then
return to her calling, barmaid and giver of $20 BJs when the boss isn't
around.

Gas was still .55/gallon after 1974's shortages. A bottle of bourbon could be had at the grocery or liquor store for under $5, records albums were about the same price, and rent was still fairly reasonable.

"Thanks to capitalism, I can hang out at Starbucks all day and complain about capitalism."
I'd argue with this one a little ... other nations have had "capitalism" and failed. Capitalism is not a government, it happens under the umbrella of liberty and justice that protects the sovereign, above all. And capitalism lives under communism to a lesser degree, because the state intervenes to abscond with the profit side, so the principles of capitalism work only around the edges.
Corporate entities like Starbucks don't have to serve the best coffee, they have stock money and corporate arrangements in DC, along with a friendly relationship with the MSM as the corporate world gets WOKE. Is it really "capitalism" to have most of the country (blindly) putting their retirement savings into "The Market"? Do we trust Goldman and Merrill to care for our money/future/liberty?

I watched about 2 minutes of some Netflix show with her starring, because the image flakking the show looked vaguely like her. She looks like a wax doll, now.

Pelosi tells Hse Dems McConnell "he showed his true colors and made his intentions to stonewall a fair trial even clearer by signing on to a resolution that would dismiss the charges. A dismissal is a cover-up and deprives the American people of the truth."

You know, I think you're right. Though (comparatively) inexpensive gas and rent continued well into the '80s for me.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at January 10, 2020 12:03 PM (Ejm1K)`
I'm talking about rent and things like that--plus no cable or cell phone or internet bills. Not everyone had credit cards and debit cards were unheard of--so things were mostly cash. And cash meant you could make deals,
Another thing i remember is that --at least where I was--the children of fairly well-off professionals and the the children of the working (almost) poor went to school and hung out together.

Re: Famine in Ireland
I assume that you are all referring to the "Great Irish Potato Famine" of 1845 to 1849.
There is a reason why it is also known as "The Great Hunger" - that's because there was never a famine in Ireland.
Famine - by definition - refers to a lack of food, and there was plenty of food available in Ireland during that time. The problem was that the commoners could not afford to buy it.
Why? Simply because the potato harvests failed due to potato blight, and the potato crop was used as a crude form of banking. People laboured in the fields to produce potatoes, which were a reserve of wealth - the crop had a value equal in some part to the cost of the labour expended to produce it.
When the blight hit, it fundamentally meant that the farmers lost their entire years income.
There was plenty of food, but the people had no money to buy it. Hence, "The Great Hunger".
