I finally saw “Saving Mr. Banks” the other day. It was on STARZ, and I was nursing a cold, so I spent a couple of hours in the recliner watching the film. I kinda liked it, though it played fast and loose with some of the facts.
Of course, that got me to thinking about Mary Poppins.
What’s been on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? A topic to discuss? It’s Thursday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
A new UN report says that people should switch to a plant-based diet to fight climate change.
I already have a plant-based diet. It’s what the cows eat before I eat them.

Trump caught red-handed spelling his name with a Hitletter
“Lest anyone call me a hypocrite, let me answer the obvious question: Do I use letters? Yes, sometimes I do. I’m not proud of it. Sometimes my words use letters from the alphabet of English slave traders. I am ashamed, and I owe apologies, reparations, and penance for my misdeeds.” At this point, Buttigieg paused his speech momentarily to flog himself with something that was either a miniature cat-o’-nine-tails or a novelty oversized false eyelash. “Forgive me. I have sinned against you.”
Throwing the flogging device over his shoulder, Buttigieg continued.
“But Trump uses the German alphabet. All 30 letters of it. Every single day. In all his communications. You don’t have to be a dog to hear a dog-whistle when he’s blowing it right in your face. ‘But what about umlauts?’ you say. ‘I’ve never seen him use umlauts. Don’t Germans use umlauts?’ Of COURSE Trump uses umlauts… IN HIS MIND! You look into his crazed, white nationalist eyes, you can tell – you can just TELL – that he’s thinking in umlauts. If the keyboard on his phone had umlauts, he would tweet with them. He would sign his name Trümp. That’s probably how he signed every single bill he’s made into law – with his Nazi alphabet name!”
“And pickles!” shouted Buttigieg, losing all composure and running his fingers though his hair like Dennis Miller high on an SNL Rant monologue. “Hitler was very fond of pickles! Never ate a hamburger without one on the side! True story. And Trump likes pickles! Pants – one leg at a time – just like Hitler! He’s got a postage stamp mustache, too, but he dyes it orange so it blends with his face and the cameras don’t pick it up. But if you see him in person… Boom! There it is! Hitstache!”
“Anyway, vote for me. I never use umlauts, and I shave.”

Sounds neat. But if it knocks on my door and asks if Sarah Connor is home, I’m shotgunning through the mail slot.
