I love that we've been reduced to hoping Trump is reshuffling the government ONLY to dump classified documents about the Russia investigation, about which the GOP-led Senate already issued a chilling report that said it was MUCH WORSE than Robert Mueller let on 

I don't get the people downplaying or dismissing Trump's efforts to illegally stay in power. Do you have any doubt that if he found a way to pull it off, he would keep power? Has the Republican Party ever shown the courage to stand up to him?

Giving Bill Barr a run for his money is the most awful department 

The emerging argument of "Yes, the president and his allies want to overturn the results of an election and would do so in a heartbeat if at all possible, but it's not like they actually CAN," is not exactly very reassuring for the future of democracy.

— Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) November 10, 2020

The takeaway is that they probably won't be able to do it this time, but if the election had actually been close they could and probably would. This is very upsetting.

Lost in the ‘70s

Saw these nostalgia-laced photos from the so-called World’s Largest Disco on “Fake Jan” Geri Reischl’s Facebook page.



It seemed fitting that Howard Hessman and Loni Anderson would be on hand at this event in Buffalo, N.Y., seeing as Damian and I are nearing the end of watching all four seasons of “WKRP in Cincinnati” (uneven but highly entertaining).



I suppose the Brady kids — Fake Jan notwithstanding — are gearing up for their upcoming HGTV show.



Not entirely sure what the event is all about, but I never question an opportunity to see Lisa Whelchel in the wild!

Cheyenne Jackson Is the Gay Darrin Stephens

Last night's "Will & Grace" was probably my least favorite so far, although a mediocre "W&G" is still better than most things. As happy as I was to hear Cheyenne Jackson was going to guest star, I didn't realize he was playing Will's ex-boyfriend Michael -- who was already portrayed perfectly by sexy Chris Potter. (You know how I feel about Fake Jan et al.) And a few things didn't quite add up. First of all, didn't Will stalk/look up Michael? The idea that Michael was lying in wait to "use" him five seconds after reconnecting seemed awfully out of left field -- and didn't track with the Michael we knew from years ago. And even if we are going along with the story, shouldn't we have seen Will fall in love again before it all imploded so quickly? (It felt like an episode was missing.) I guess it was sort of a fast-tracked sitcom romance, but the whole thing was very jarring -- and I feel like a missed opportunity at exploring getting back together with an ex. 

Secondly, I'm not sure the "both sides" cake storyline hit its mark. Are people who voted for the person who was elected to the White House -- and are members of the party that controls all three branches of government -- really on par with persecuted minorities? Do we need a sitcom to equate LGBTQ people with Nazis and people who practice bestiality? (I think a senator turned GOP presidential candidate was more than enough.) Make the cake. But any chance of this being a clear-cut case of hypocrisy is completely muddied by Trump's relentless vilification of minorities and championing of gun nuts and white supremacists -- and even the ACLU has changed its stance on some hate groups. Am I misinterpreting this?

On the plus side ... 

The little nod to Debbie Reynolds ...

and Tom of Finland -- both originally spotted by my friend Chad -- were very appreciated.
