    Tucker is going to spend the next 10 months lashing out at Fox, Trump, and the RNC before primary season and he's going to right-fit his position as Disruptor-in-Chief and they'll have to kiss his hand instead of Rupert's.  And it's going to be fucking beautiful.  Just wait.

    He may hate Trump, but the grift is stronger if he at least temporally plays nice with him.  It’s the Trumpers who are especially outraged by all of this.

    what questionable stuff, and why are you glad? 

    per Forbes & USA Today:
    September 7, 2022
    Lemon was criticized for askingCNN political commentator S.E. Cupp if she was suffering from “mommy brain” and losing their “train of thought.”
    Is it fair to say this, because I’m not a mommy, but is it mommy brain?" he asked Cupp.  Cupp replied, "No, Don. I just forgot what I was going to say."

    December 1, 2022Lemon was heavily criticized for sexist on-screen comments about the gender pay gap in professional sports, in which he claimed players on the men’s U.S. soccer team earn more than their female counterparts because “people are more interested in the men,” and insisted he is not inherently sexist because he grew up in a house with women.

    February 16, 2023Lemon was suspended from CNN This Morning after claiming 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley—who argued older politicians should face mental competency tests—“isn’t in her prime” because “a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s, and maybe 40s”—

    In 2014, Lemon suggested to actress Joan Tarshis who alleged sexual assault by Bill Cosby during an interview how she might've avoided being raped."You – you know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn't want to do it," he told her on air. Tarshis responded: "Oh. Um, I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn't even enter my mind. Now I wish it would have."Lemon later apologized.

    Now not on the level of Tucker, but he just seemed a little smarmy and pompous to me.

    wow, Lemon did nothing wrong here arguing with that pre-FOX nutcase.  I need some substance as to why he was let go. 

    Agree.  Don is an asshole and has said some questionable stuff, but that interview wasn’t one of them.  That being said, I’m glad he’s gone.

  4. Trying to make up for my lack of mezcal reviews, I really appreciate all of y’all’s…

    Finally got around to trying the Cuero Viejo that I bought in CDMX last year, was waiting for a special occasion.  It’s really nice, clean but complex if that makes any sense.  Distilled in Durango, instead of Oaxaca where most mezcal is distilled.  Recommend if you are around the Roma Sur neighborhood in CDMX and can stop by MisMezcales.

    Thanks for the link Greenspoint, this confirms what I’ve suspected (and been pointed out to me, including you) that there is a lot of additives out there in the US tequila world.  Was at a bar last year and wanted a nice shot of mezcal or tequila.  They didn’t have any mezcal and not much of a tequila selection.  They recommended Casamigos, the one George Clooney is part owner of.  So I violated my own rule of not drinking celebrity booze and had a shot.  It was dark and tasted sickly sweet.  So I’ve been leery of a lot of tequila brands since then.

    Mr. Carlson continued, “Our viewers are good people and they believe it,” making it clear that he did not.

     

     

    It’s almost like he knew his text would likely be subpoenaed.

  7. Depending on when you arrive (non-rush hour hopefully), there are some options for food nearby.  I've never eaten close to Benito Juarez but IIRC, I read about a few viable options.  While Uber is a definite player in CDMX, I don't know that they are allowed close to the terminal to pick up passengers. (I would definitely use Uber on the way back to the airport).  And the Metro is awesome to get around CDMX although it's a fair little hike from the international terminal to the first station.

    You're probably a good 35 minutes or more car ride to a fashionable neighborhood (I think Roma Norte would be the closest), but there are more humble neighborhoods close to the airport.  Metro into the central downtown area could be quicker but can get very crowded.  

    And I would want at least 2 hours at the airport to check-in, clear customs again and go thru security.  

    Mexico City is awesome; I'm thinking of getting back there for a long weekend this year.

    Looking at alternative flight paths to South America. 

    Generally speaking, how much of a layover (for international departure) would I need to be able to do something worthwhile in Mexico City without feeling rushed? It looks like luggage storage is an option there.

    ”Something worthwhile” could be anything from an awesome helado to street food to a restaurant to a museum or whatever. 

    Thoughts? Suggestions?
