the outtakes from him landing on the pasta were similar.
Some of Frank Costanza's hilarious speech tics were Jerry Stiller giving himself another couple of seconds to remember his line.
That is a professional.

The Florida Senate is about to take up a bill that would let the DeSantis administration hide records about the governor's travel from the public.
And the Senate is going to *expand* the bill to make it even easier for the governor to conceal records.

Florida kids, check out this thread.
I learned about it in school, years later wrote my big junior year US history paper on it, but, as it falls between the Civil War and โI Have a Dream,โ your teachers might be told to skip it. Feelings might be hurt.
On this day in 1896, the U.S Supreme Court delivered its decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, establishing the โseparate but equalโ doctrine and authorizing discrimination by states.
This marked the formal beginning of Jim Crow Laws.

She doesn't really fact check him on the economy, she just says "That's not true."
Fact checking would be quoting numbers back at him to puncture his claims about the economy.

We know not when he sleeps. We know it's not normal hours.
The Miami Beach-raised longtime Herald man got the 2:11 a.m. scanner report confirmed, wrote the first story & alert, launched reporters to the scene and our coverage.
With all these GOP laws, the vagueness is the point. Officials who aren't certain whether this or that will run afoul of the state err on the side of book banning, seeing it as the "safe" option.
What's happening in Iowa now shows exactly how this works.

One of the NHL Network guys said he watched Luongo's speech and thought, "He can't be playing." Then playing as well as he did with the focus necessary (a goalie's every mistake goes on the scoreboard) is one of the great performances you'll see in a reg. season game.

A 23-year-old man got murdered in Pembroke Pines and we pretty much don't know shit else right now because 65% of you voted for this Marsy's Law bullshit last November.
If you give public entities a way to withhold information from you, they will. And it will rarely benefit you.

Funk him.
When I got diagnosed, I was in the best shape of my adult life, cardio or weights daily, alcohol or soft drinks once a week, best eating pattern of my life.
And if I didn't have health care, I'd be economically buried.

I saw several Parkland Douglas parents & Parkland residents who thought it was the perfect time to talk gun laws. And they actually know the families for which you purport to show such concern.
Can the Left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda? My goodness. This isn't about a gun it's about another lunatic.

Selling plasma is something I did as a senior in college for an extra $35 a week for extra $$$ to make ends meet.
Itโs not something a professional full-time staffer at a
@mcclatchy
outlet should have to do.
For me cost-burdened means not being able to afford to see family, going into debt to pay off emergency expenses, and babysitting and selling plasma to make ends meet.

On no-cushion benches for the true old schoolers among us...I used to wonder, "can we at least start early?" Nothing like riding past the Catholic churches, already in post-service parking lot chat, knowing you're about to go in until halftime of the early NFL games.

Our daily case number reports are, usually, the dayโs most read story. Utility stories โ where can I? How can I? When is this open? โ also were among the top stories in traffic.
COVID news leads off the local TV news each morning.
So for whom and when was virus info not news?
Lesson moving forward:
1.Even when its not in the news,the virus is still here
2.Try to stay home more
3.If you decide to go out try for smaller groups & outdoors
4.Take extra measures to protect those in your life at higher risk
5.Wash your hands & use a mask more

That's the in-stadium, front page produced for brandishing by players and fans in the postgame.
Just so you folks know: when you see players in the stadium holding front pages like this minutes after their win, it's not a special edition of the paper. It's a page. Literally.
