The circle of life: Zimbabwe is no longer pressing for the extradition of the American dentist who killed Cecil the Lion. Walter Palmer can now safely return to Zimbabwe as a “tourist,” a government official said.
The government may call Palmer a “tourist,” but the lions in Cecil’s pride call him “lunch.”
Wake him when it’s over: Tonight’s first Democratic presidential debate will be a snorefest, predicts Donald Trump. The Republican front-runner says he doubts he’ll stay awake for the whole thing.
But if Trump were a horse and could sleep while standing, he probably would have caught a few Zs during hour three of the most recent GOP debate.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1957, Bing Crosby starred in “The Edsel Show,” a live special that promoted the new Ford automobile. It also was the first show to use videotape technology to delay the broadcast to the West Coast.
Pundits being pundits, you can bet that at least one back in ‘57 predicted the videotape system would fizzle, and the Edsel would be a smash hit.
