Peanuts holiday specials to air on PBS in deal with Apple
(CNN)It's good news, Charlie Brown: You're coming back to broadcast TV.
PBS, PBS Kids and Apple announced Wednesday that Snoopy and the gang will be coming to television for the holidays, after all.
Though Apple TV+ has the rights to Peanuts content, a new deal with PBS will enable the broadcaster to air "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" this year.
The beloved specials will air ad free on November 22 and December 13, respectively, a release said.

"before the government got involved and closed all these businesses"
I heard this today on local talk radio and my jaw dropped.
This must be a thing in their world I’d missed.
The radio host was talking to a member of the state house who also runs SEAL TEAM training businesses. It’s not the virus you see it’s that the governments got involved and set health standards. Gov. Northam wants to ruin Thanksgiving too.
Trump Ponies Up For Recount In Wisconsin, But Only The Black Parts
Yes it’s Wonkette but the headline was just too good
https://www.wonkette.com/wisconsin-recount
Today was the Trump campaign's deadline to pony up $7.9 million if it wanted a recount in Wisconsin. Trump and his bois must be running low on grifting cash, because instead they're opting to pay $3 million to recount the votes in just two counties. The counties Team Trump is going after are Milwaukee and Dane, which gave Biden 35 percent of the votes he received in the state. They also just so happen to be home to three-quarters of Wisconsin's Black population.
Uh huh.
New York City schools closing tomorrow. Going back to remote.

Look I’ve poured myself into a couple campaigns (Kerry, Obama, Tim Kaine ‘12) and you do get to a point where you are tired and excited and willing to do anything you can....within reason. Longer hours, one more canvass run, one more whatever but you know you are going home at the end of the day. The campaign isn’t EVERYTHING.
How many people have gone all in and for what? The salon owner formerly of San Francisco (Pelosi), the postal employee in Pennsylvania, these two people in the certification board in Michigan. They all went all in and for what? “What’s in it for them?” as Trump once asked about the military.
I guess some of these could have been set-up. Maybe they are counting on GoFundMe money. I don’t know but it seems like a big leap to take with your own future just on an extended 3rd party long shot (that’s the best I could come up with).
Maybe it trying to show that you are a good loyal soldier. I don’t know.
Charlie Kirk (trending) when you roll out of bed and wing it.

Giuliani Is Said to Seek $20,000 a Day Payment for Trump Legal Work (Haberman)
By Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/us/politics/giuliani-trump-election-pay.html
Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has helped oversee a string of failed court challenges to President Trump’s defeat in the election, asked the president’s campaign to pay him $20,000 a day for his legal work, multiple people briefed on the matter said.
The request stirred opposition from some of Mr. Trump’s aides and advisers, who appear to have ruled out paying that much, and it is unclear how much Mr. Giuliani will ultimately be compensated.
“I never asked for $20,000,” said Mr. Giuliani, saying the president volunteered to make sure he was paid after the cases concluded. “The arrangement is, we’ll work it out at the end.”
He added that whoever had said he made the $20,000-a-day request “is a liar, a complete liar.”
