Like many, I dont watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told no), was great. Hes leading the charge!

During an interview on 60 Minutes that is set to air Sunday night, Graham appeared with Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana.
Graham suggested that he had set the bar much higher for changing his mind.
My minds made up about Brett Kavanaugh and it would take a dynamite accusation, Graham opined. Because, heres the deal, Dr. Ford, I dont know what happened but I know this, Brett denied it vigorously and everybody she named couldnt verify it, its 36 years old.
I dont see anything new changing [my mind], he concluded.
Lindsey Graham says he will vote for Kavanaugh even if FBI links him to sexual assault

James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931 September 30, 1955) was an American actor. He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his stardom were loner Cal Trask in East of Eden (1955) and surly ranch hand Jett Rink in Giant (1956).
After his death in a car crash,[1] Dean became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and remains the only actor to have had two posthumous acting nominations.[2] In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 18th best male movie star of Golden Age Hollywood in AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars list.[3]

R.I.P. LEGENDARY Blues Guitarist Otis Rush
Otis Rush, Seminal Chicago Blues Guitarist, Dead at 84
Key architect of West Side Sound died from complications related to a stroke
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/otis-rush-chicago-blues-guitarist-dead-731136/
Otis Rush, one of the pioneering guitarists of the Chicago blues scene, died Saturday from complications from a stroke he suffered in 2003. He was 84.
Rushs wife, Masaki Rush, confirmed her husbands death on his website. A note read, Known as a key architect of the Chicago West Side Sound Rush exemplified the modernized minor key urban blues style with his slashing, amplified jazz-influenced guitar playing, high-strained passionate vocals and backing by a full horn section. Rushs first recording in 1956 on Cobra Records I Cant Quit You Baby reached Number on the Billboard R&B Charts and catapulted him to international acclaim. He went on to record a catalog of music that contains many songs that are now considered blues classics.
Rush became a staple of the Chicago scene in the late Fifties and early Sixties, partnering first with Cobra Records, which was also home to artists like Magic Sam and Buddy Guy. Their take on the blues would prove to be a revelation for a generation of artists to follow, while Rush would become a totem for countless rock guitarists (he was placed at Number 53 on Rolling Stones list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists). Notably, Rushs signature style long, dramatically bent notes was in part a product of his unique playing approach: A left-handed guitarist who played his guitar upside-down, placing the low E string at the bottom and the high E string on top.
Rush was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi in 1935 and began teaching himself the guitar at age eight. He moved to Chicago in 1949 and was inspired to pursue music full time after seeing Muddy Waters live. In 1956, Rush released his first, and most successful single on Cobra, I Cant Quit You Baby. Along with its chart success, Led Zeppelin famously covered the cut on their 1969 debut.

Republicans are at risk of losing control of Congress in the Nov. 6 elections, which could impede Trumps goals to clamp down on immigration, cut taxes, approve new bilateral trade deals, and invest in infrastructure.
Allegations of sexual misconduct against Trumps Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, have complicated his confirmation proceedings, disappointing conservative voters and energizing Democrats. Kavanaugh denies the accusations.
Trump travels first to Wheeling, West Virginia on Saturday, where Republicans are trying to unseat Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, one of a handful of senators seen as key swing votes that will determine Kavanaughs appointment.
Trump will then hold evening rallies in Johnson City, Tennessee on Monday; Southaven, Mississippi on Tuesday; Rochester, Minnesota on Thursday; and Topeka, Kansas next Saturday.

Kavanaugh admits he may have puked after drinking beer when he was younger, but that was just because he had a weak stomach. Farting also comes up.
