Off by one: The Thomas Guide bends to pressure to remove the number 666 from their mapbook cover

By Jack Brummet

The 1997 Thomas Guide mentions that the edition contains 666 new streets. Concerned Christians peppered the publisher with questions and complaints, worried that the use of the number 666 was a sort of satanic signal. Thomas eventually caved in and dropped the number by one.

President Reagan cuts in on the Chairman of the Board (a/k/a Frank Sinatra)

By Jack Brummet, Presidents Ed.

President Reagan cuts in at his birthday party in 1981.  Kitty Kelley, in a 1991 book on the Reagans, claimed (disputed by many) Nancy and The Chairman had a long term affair.

Jack's Tweets from the GOP 10/28/2015 GOP debate

By Jack Brummet, GOP-Tea Party Ed.

I always try to live tweet the whole thing, and then reality, a.k.a.,  the actual debate sets in. But this wasn't a bad debate.  I think it will "move the needle" a little.  No one actually had a Rick Perry moment or anything, but Jeb Bush was pathetic (and next to the least screen/talk time). 538 seems to think it's just about the end of the line for the Bush fiasco.  Me too.

  1. The most memorable & creepiest image lingering from the is the thought of being on the receiving end of a warm kiss.
  2. "Do you want me to answer, or do you want to answer? . . .that would be rude even in New Jersey."
  3. Trump: "I don't know, you guys write this stuff."
  4. Ben Carson just got the audience to boo a panelist. That was pretty sweet. Strange inquisition.
  5.   Retweeted
    Cruz: Questions are designed to get candidates to rip into each other. he's right. Moderators losing control.
  6. Ted Cruz actually just made sense.
  7. In the last few minutes, four candidates have talked about what nice people they are.@
  8. Jeb is largely silent. It's almost time to wheel in the crash cart. When he does pipe up, it's about Rubio's day job.
