David McCallum, exactly 20 yrs. older than your host (19 Sep't. 1933 - 25 Sep't. 2023) held on until 90 & then exited. As Ilya Kuriakin, he was an avatar of cool for nine-yr. old boys at the time. And maybe a crush object for nine-yr. old girls.

Dianne Feinstein, on the other hand, held out for several months after her ninetieth.

Hrs. Late & Barely 300 Views

Fuck you, Crooks and Liars. If you won't pay me, at least respect the free work you get from me you cheap, rotten bastards. And it might be to your advantage if items were published when expected. Advertisers like that, not empty space. You're about 500 views short of the daily average. And the people from whom you try to grub even more money may not like this incompetence either.

Give me a reason not to go on strike for this last round-up.

Senator Potatohead Speaks

Ellen Mitchell / The Hill:

Tuberville says he opposed Joint Chiefs chair over ‘equal opportunity’ push  —  Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) said he voted against the nomination of the Pentagon's next Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman over the military officer's push to promote “woke policies.”

Chelsey Cox / CNBC:   Sen. Tommy Tuberville says U.S. military not an ‘equal opportunity employer’

Gregory Korte / al.com:   Tuberville: Military 'not an equal opportunity employer ... We're not looking for different groups'

I think "Coach" may have played footsball w/o a helmet for a little too long. Does he think the U.S. military should be all white Xian males w/ family connections? Gonna be tough attracting cannon fodder w/ that attitude, 'though I s'pose what he's really saying is "No uppity you-know-whats in the officer corps, dadgum it." Did he not have African-Americans playing for him at Alabama? Be interesting to see what sorts of people played which positions there.
