Late edition.. after a few weeks of child/grandchild overload.. whisked my bride to a whirlwind Calgon moment (remember the "Calgon.. Whisk me away!" ads). shopped and fine dined in Atlanta, so this will be a shade shorter ... but timely afternoon edition.

Jon Lovitz, "Yeah, that's the ticket!" department - Online story: "the actor and crew were setting up a shot that required Baldwin to cross-draw a revolver and point the weapon at the camera. However, thanks to a shadow that was coming into the church structure from light outside, the camera had to be adjusted to a different angle. Baldwin was working with the director and the cinematographer demonstrating how he was going to draw his revolver from its holster and where his arm would be for the new shot. While demonstrating, the firearm went off." -- "the firearm went off"? Firearms don't "go off" until, basically, some one PULLS THE TRIGGER. That 's why we check all guns we pick up.. or are handed to us...to see for ourselves whether it's loaded or not. Then, we never put our finger on the trigger unless we have a target we want to shoot. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Online headline: "Republican congressman suspended from Twitter for misgendering transgender health official" -- He was talking about Dr R|"Rachel" Levine, a secretary with the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the only "starred" Admiral ever.

Online headline: "J.K.

From the "Hope everyone is paying attention to the VA governor's race between Glenn Youngkin and the past 8 years of Democrats McAuliffe & Northam..and the deterioration of education there." department - Online story: "Youngkin has repeatedly cited alarming figures from the U.S. Department of Education's National Assessment of Education Progress, which found that 62% of Virginia students failed to meet proficiency standards on eighth-grade math, while nearly 60% of students failed to meet national proficiency standards in fourth-grade reading." -- I hope the U.S. Department of Education's National Assessment of Education Progress report for Columbus, GA gets published as well. I'm a firm believer that reading efficiency (well, actually LACK of such) is a key reason our crime rate is soaring! Young people who can't keep up in school feel there's no future for them and are easily swayed to join gangs.
