First up is one of my favorite things every year, The Late Show's Santa story. This year it's a take off on the 1/6 Insurrection and it's nearly perfect. The fact the audience happily applauds the un-sleighing of Ted Cruz and Marjorie Taylor Green should tell you what most people think of them.
Next up is the trailer for the Lost City, a movie coming out next year. I'm so glad Sandra Bullock is doing more comedy, because she is an absolute treasure.
I am very concerned this trailer has every good bit from the movie in it. I HATE when they do that. On the other side Bullock and Daniel Radcliffe seem pretty good with their roles, so I have hope. Channing Tatum embraces the dimwit role well (Jamba Juice?!? HA!) The surprise at the end is a freaking riot.
Finally tonight is the story of the USS Minneapolis.
Recently a local high school somehow got into possession of naval artifacts, the bell from the USS Minneapolis and the wheel from the battleship USS Minnesota. I find it appalling that some people ransacked a military memorial and STOLE MILITARY ARTIFACTS, and no one went to jail. One story says they felt it would be cool for the high school to have them, another was that the people responsible for stealing them didn't like "certain people" (aka minorities) being near them so they moved them without permission. Whomever thought a sweaty high school kid smacking the bell when they maxed out on a new record bench press was 'honoring the troops' was an idiot. Those fools should've been arrested.
The good news is the bell and wheel have been returned to the city of Minneapolis. The final video tonight is a history of a more modern version of the USS Minneapolis, the one from World War II, courtesy of The History Guy. Although not the greatest victory, the story of this boat should point out there are no easy missions in war, and that all troops should be honored; not in a high school gym, but rather out where the public can admire their brave sacrifice.
Be safe. Please get vaccinated, and wear a mask.
Thank you.
