NIGHTCAP: Oprah & Mitt Romney POTUS Ticket (It Almost Happened). Fingers Crossed For Sam Neill. National Toy Museum Finalists (And Our Own Poll).

 

 

When I read that a Oprah and Senator Mitt Romney POTUS ticket almost happened, my first thought was imaging Oprah saying, "you get a tax return, and you get a tax return" to an audience clamoring for free gifts. Oprah has danced-around the idea of running for public office, so this revelation wasn't entirely shocking. But her pick of a running mate was...interesting. Romney coined the term, "a binder full of women" and known for strapping his dog  on the roof of the family vehicle (in a dog carrier). If the country is going to continue the clown-shit-show route for elected leaders, then I'm casting my vote for Teddy Ruxpin & Cookie Monster. 

 ►  "Romney: A Reckoning" a biography about US Republican Senator Mitt Romney, author McKay Coppin revealed that back in the 2020 election for POTUS, Oprah Winfrey made a pitch to Senator Romney for the two of them to run as a "unity ticket" to prevent the Orange Turd (Govt Name: Don the Con Trump) from running and save the country. Senator Romney blew off the idea because apparently he felt it would help more than hurt the orange lunatic in his election bid to become lifetime dictator of the US (DOTUS). Read More

 Comment: Had Senator Romney gone through with the idea, we would be getting free copies of "O Magazine", an "Oprah White House Holiday Special" featuring her favorite things: a $20,000,000,000,000 Air Force One Jet, a 24k gold frame diamond encrusted copy of the US Constitution, and a platinum & sapphire reproduction of the Liberty Bell for holiday ornaments. For us commoners, she would establish the "People's Fund of America" and ask us to donate to it.

► Actor Sam Neill, who starred in Jurassic Park, Omen III, Dead Calm, The Piano, and a bunch of other movies recently shared that while his blood cancer was in remission, chemotherapy treatments have stopped working. He's undergoing an experimental drug treatment. Read More

Comment: I don't consider the Pez Dispenser a toy because it's a candy dispenser - but that's my opinion.  I had a Corn Popper as a tater tot so that one is tugging my nostalgic heart strings. The pogo stick - another favorite. I'm throwing my vote to the Corn Popper.  For giggles, we're hosting our own poll - vote below.
