Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Tonight I finished recording the second two hours of the 4 hour PBS series on Franklin. I will be enjoying the recording going forward. I may have missed parts of it duriing the original broadcasts (2 nights in a row).

Offhand I'll say there was a LOT about Franklin I didn't know. Highly recommended.

It was a central conflict in the doc and apparently Ben's life. Families are weird. Whatever Hunter did or didn't do, I don't blame Joe for it unless he was involved.

We know that you can see GoCubsGo's post, so you can't even lie about using 'foe' as an excuse for your stupidity.

Yes, and they became estranged as a result. I think the two didn't communicate with each other for the last 10 years of Benjamin's life. Benjamin took William's illegitimate son Temple under his wing instead. No cats were harmed in that process.

Kinda cute, but maybe the premise will get old. I'll give it another try or two.
Worked well for "Beetle Juice."

We've still got 2.5 hours or so before it comes on. We've enjoyed it and like it a lot. Not ready for any "finale."

Randy Rainbow is great. We've posted several of his vids, but I've never seen him interviewed.

Nature
The Egg: Life's Perfect Invention

Season 37, Episode 12

Host David Attenborough explores the egg, how they are made and how they nurture new life.
Fascinating. It's PBS, so there will be repeats, streaming and the opportunity to record to archaic DVDs.

Serious question:

If a similarly sized asteroid, such as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, were to come next year... would the nations of earth with the capability to deflect or destroy it, be able to cooperate enough to defeat/deflect this threat to the entire planet?
