And Archie's wife Wendy lets that ridiculous name (Manfrenjensen) roll right off her tongue like it's "Smith" a minute later.

This movie made me love Bette Davis. At 34 years old, she had set aside any movie star vanity to play homely drab Charlotte. Her transformation as resplendent Charlotte later in the film is acting at its best. Now, Voyager is one of my favorites.

I learned what these were from the Sweeney Todd song. Their image has been redeemed by The Great British Baking Show. I'd definitely give them a try!

The corporal looks a lot like Mitch McConnell having one of his 'freeze' moments.

The WGN employee is not a journalist. She is employed in WGN's creative services department. Just another innocent by-stander to ICE activity on the streets. wgntv.com/news/operati...

The local outrage is because this woman works for WGN, referred to as "Chicago's Very Own" television station. It -- and the people who work for it -- is loved in the Chicago metro area.

The TRO expires in two weeks. The parties will again appear before Judge Perry then. In the meantime, Noem says DHS is looking for purchase warehouse-type property near Chicago to increase ICE processing.
