Edith Grossman, prolific translator of works in Spanish into English and particularly well known for her Don Quixote (terrific, I might add), dead at 87. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/04/books/edith-grossman-dead.html

Rupert Holmes is definitely still alive.

Dunno. I’d be pretty jazzed to see the end of that Tango-whatever creature.

No, just one. The other is heroically, but futilely, attempting to reason with either the biggest troll or the biggest idiot on this site.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, both the book and the film, were quite popular in this part of the world in the 90s and early 2000s. Many of the people dramatized became low-level famous because of them.

Apologies. The way the two statements were worded made it seem as though they were in direct contradiction, but I see now they are not.

You dredged up a six month old quote to say that? Find something else to do with your time.

Seven posts is too high for you?

If you mix red and blue you get purple.

Let’s all calm down about Angela Lansbury being British; she was also an American citizen for 70 years.

Not really. The oldest senator, congressman, federal judge, and governor did though.

Also of note: the last of the ten Buckley siblings; the most famous of which was William F. Buckley Jr.

Cross posting here as I think it’s significant enough. Potential Second Lady in 1964. There are now no presidential tickets or spouses living from before 1976. This seems to have gone unnoticed on here. Stephanie Wagner Miller, widow of Congressman and Vice-Presidential candidate William Miller, died back in July, aged 100. Also the mother of her namesake: a daughter Stephanie who is a liberal radio host.  https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/washingtonpost/name/stephanie-miller-obituary?id=52559100

Not a bishop. Seriously, read things before posting.

An important point of order as the president cannot pardon state crimes either. If they fail to change the law, and he’s convicted in Georgia, it seems like he’ll serve his time no matter what.

Weird how actually reading articles before posting keeps you from looking like a jackass.

This article is very clear that he was the second to last. This leaves Ari Won Kim as the last Tahitian (and French Polynesian) veteran. Edit: adjusted punctuation

Worth noting that Oliver Stone also won in 1989.

For the sake of political stability and to allow the will of the voters to be carried out. Anyone old enough to remember the election in 2000 clearly knows that a prolonged period of not knowing who the president will be in January is a recipe for disaster. No president who holds that office in the appropriate regard would allow such an event if they could prevent it.

Definitely an untested legal theory. It is not envisioned by the constitution. In the event it happened it would definitely be challenged. More likely is the outgoing president would see it as their duty to pardon a president elect who is in prison.

How?
